WinkLoveLoss was founded by songwriter and artist Antonio Journie with a simple belief: the songs people remember most are the ones that help them through life’s defining moments. Drawing from experiences of love, loss, perseverance, hope, and second chances, WinkLoveLoss blends emotionally honest storytelling with soaring melodies, cinematic guitars, and anthemic choruses that stay with listeners long after the music ends.
Born from a passion for creating meaningful rock music in an era often driven by trends, WinkLoveLoss combines the heart of classic songwriting with modern alternative rock energy. Their music explores the highs and lows of the human experience—from overcoming adversity and finding purpose to celebrating love, friendship, and the moments that bring people together.
Rochester, NY is where it all began. It’s the robust and picturesque city where Roger Hill was born. Known as the “Flower City” because of its abundance of floral and tree nurseries since the 1800s, it is also known as the “World’s Image Center” because of its history as the home of Eastman Kodak Company.
These facts are important to the life and music of this now Atlanta-based R&B soul singer. Because, clearly, someone with a soul was meant to produce something that would one day blossom, bloom, or rise to the occasion when it’s time.
Now, Roger Hill, who goes by the artist name ROGERHILL MUSIC, is ready—but it wasn’t an easy road to get here. The man had to travel extensively in order to earn his first Top 30 R&B hit in early 2023 with “Come Back To Me.” It was a lesson in the long journey on which he’s about to embark in recording and releasing his debut album.
Hill began singing at the young age of five, under the management of his mother. He sang in church and later joined the Ambassadors of Gospel Music. Though he was obedient, he confesses that he “never really wanted to sing… I just wanted to go out and be a kid.”
Music always surrounded him in some form or fashion. As a working man, whose life led him through college football, construction, and other opportunities, he eventually found his way back to music in Rochester, where he performed with local bands and artists. He recalls thinking that he wouldn’t make any money on stage—but with encouragement and persistence, the passion returned.
In 2011, Hill moved to Atlanta to start over—and start over he did.
Thursday nights in Atlanta took Hill to Kat’s Café, where Open Mic Nights were renowned. There, Hill caught the attention of producers and industry insiders. Soon after, he was approached by a music producer from a Black Ski Week trip in Florida, which ultimately led to the creation of his hit single “Come Back To Me.”
“Come Back To Me” was produced by accomplished guitarist Rick Marcel and uses a sample from the legendary Ron Isley. ROGERHILL MUSIC continues to work with Kool and The Gang.
Hill is busy writing music for his debut album, which includes singles like “Nobody Knows” and “I Will Love You.”
“Come Back To Me” is about someone who is seeking redemption in love. “Nobody Knows” dives deeper into vulnerability—expressing the emotional weight of love, heartbreak, and truth that others may not see.
Another single, “I Will Love You,” is a perfect summer song with smooth background vocals and a cool, laid-back vibe—ideal for cruising down the coast or through the mountains.
ROGERHILL MUSIC is about good music. Whether performing his own music or classic covers, he brings passion and authenticity to every stage. He has opened for artists such as Leela James, Jon B, Babyface, and Howard Hewett, performing in front of legends like Ron Isley.
His music continues to evolve, blending old-school soul with a modern R&B sound. His journey reflects growth, persistence, and dedication to his craft.
“Now that I’m in it, I like the idea that people like the music that I’m putting out. A lot of people ask me if I’ve always wanted to do this—and I say no. But when it’s time, it’s time.”
Prolific indie songwriter/recording artist who has numerous (original only) instrumentals, folk, alternative both for adult and children 7 and under listeners.

Q: Can you please tell our readers your real name as well as your stage name?
A: My real name is Oleksandra, and my artist name is Oleksa. It comes naturally from my name and feels like the most authentic representation of who I am as both a person and an artist.
Q: How old are you?
A: I am 22 years old.
Q: Where are you from and where were you born?
A: I was born in Kyiv, Ukraine and spent most of my life there before moving to the United States. I am currently based in Miami, Florida, but Ukraine will always be a huge part of who I am and my creative identity.
Q: At what age did you start making music?
A: Music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up singing and exploring different creative outlets, but I started taking music seriously as an artist in my late teens. Over time it became more than a hobby and turned into something I wanted to dedicate my life to.
Q: What genre of music do you particularly love? Jazz? Hip-Hop? RnB?
A: I listen to many different genres, but I have always been drawn to R&B, alternative pop and electronic music. I love emotional vocals, atmospheric production and songs that tell a story. Those influences can definitely be heard in my music.
Q: Who is your favourite artist and why?
A: It’s difficult to choose just one artist because my favourites change over time. I admire artists who are not afraid to be vulnerable and authentic. I am inspired by performers who create their own worlds through music, visuals and storytelling rather than simply following trends.
Q: What are your hobbies?
A: Outside of music I enjoy travelling, discovering new places. I also enjoy spending time by the ocean in Miami and finding inspiration in everyday life.
Q: Do you play any musical instrument?
A: I have studied music in different ways over the years. Recently I have been learning piano and I have also taken DJ lessons, which helped me better understand music, rhythm, arrangement and live performance. I enjoy exploring different sides of music creation beyond singing and songwriting.
Q: Where do you get your musical inspiration?
A: A lot of my inspiration comes from personal experiences, emotions and conversations. I am also inspired by films, visual art, travel and the different cultures I have experienced while living in both Ukraine and the United States.
Q: Who is your hero?
A: My heroes are people who continue creating and moving forward despite challenges. I have a lot of respect for artists, creatives and everyday people who stay true to themselves even during difficult times.
Q: Do you write your own music?
A: Yes. Being involved in the creative process is very important to me. I enjoy developing concepts, writing lyrics and helping shape the emotional direction of a song.
Q: If you were given a chance, which artist would you love to perform with?
A: I would love to perform with artists who blend strong vocals with innovative production. Collaborating with artists who push creative boundaries would be an incredible experience.
Q: What would you like our readers to know about you?
A: I want people to know that my music comes from a genuine place. Every release is connected to a real emotion, experience or story. I believe music has the power to connect people across different countries and backgrounds, and that is something I hope to continue doing through my work.
Feel free to tell our readers more about yourself and your music. Things like your goals in life, and what your current projects are. And also let them know where they can get your music or where you will be performing soon or regularly.
A: My debut single, “I Am Not Yours”, explores themes of independence, self-worth and emotional boundaries. The official music video was filmed in Kyiv with a fully Ukrainian cast and crew during wartime, which made the project especially meaningful to me. The release has received international radio support and media coverage, including a feature in Miami New Times and support from stations across multiple countries. I am currently working on new music and expanding the Oleksa project internationally. My goal is to continue creating music that is emotionally honest while connecting with listeners around the world.
You can find all my music, videos and social media links through my Linktree and follow my journey as more releases arrive throughout 2026.
ESMA is an Italian artist, singer-songwriter, and “ColtivAutore” (a “Song-Cultivator”) who crafts music at the intersection of dark electronic pop and cinematic storytelling. Her artistic vision is rooted in the belief that songs are living organisms, grown from poetic seeds into lush, immersive soundscapes.
Her sound is characterized by a “Noir” aesthetic, blending hypnotic synths, deep basslines, and raw, emotive vocals. Drawing inspiration from visionary poets like William Blake and the trip-hop mastery of bands like Massive Attack and Portishead, ESMA creates a world that is both haunting and deeply intimate.
In her latest release, “Blake” (released April 17, 2026, via Watt Musik), she explores the duality of human nature—the tension between desire and obsession, light and shadow. The project is accompanied by a striking black-and-white visual identity that reinforces her status as a multi-sensory artist.
With a focus on atmospheric production and profound lyrical depth, ESMA is carving out a unique space in the international alternative scene, inviting listeners to lose themselves in her shadowy, rhythmic world.
The King’s Way Releases “Don’t Let It Slip Away” — A Reminder to Slow Down and Live in the Moment
Modern folk/country project The King’s Way returns with its latest single, “Don’t Let It Slip Away,” a reflective and timely track centered on the fast pace of life and the importance of slowing down to truly experience it.
Blending warm acoustic textures with a modern country influence, “Don’t Let It Slip Away” captures the feeling of time passing quicker than expected—where days blur together and meaningful moments can easily be missed. The song encourages listeners to take a step back, be present, and hold onto what matters before it’s gone.
With honest songwriting and a grounded, organic sound, The King’s Way leans into simplicity and sincerity, allowing the message to land naturally. The track’s steady, flowing arrangement mirrors the passage of time itself, while its lyrics serve as a quiet but powerful reminder not to let life pass by unnoticed.
“Don’t Let It Slip Away” continues to define The King’s Way’s direction in the modern folk/country space, combining reflective themes with accessible, real-life storytelling that resonates across audiences.
The single is now available on all major streaming platforms.
