“If the moniker "GATTSBY" is any reference to the legendary character created by F. Scott Fitzgerald, then the greater music listening community is a collective Nick Carraway — in mid-chapter— waiting to be awed by the true potential by this one of a kind artist.”
“He says he sounds like the aforementioned influenced artists, however I have to disagree there. The sounds GATTSBY produces are highly experimental, which help him establish a pioneering status in this new, self made genre of "alternative hip hop-rap-rock."”
“GATTSBY's musical abilities include vocals, guitar, and keyboard, which allow him for a great range of sounds, and ultimately an original take on music production in general. His influences include Mac Miller, Twenty One Pilots, the Foo Fighters, and Rage Against the Machine. As an online musical presence, GATTSBY has accumulated over 20,000 followers via Facebook, Twitter, Soundcloud, and Reverbnation.”
“Take a listen to his EP Heart of Hollywood to witness how every track performs a 180 from each one previously played. "Street Poetry" is a solely lyrical track, then "Car Radio" (Twenty One Pilots Vocal Cover) is carried with a balance of improvised verses and melody; artistically inclined tracks. Fast forward to "Press Replay" (Prod. Parov Stellar) and then comes an uppity, jazzy dance song. The track "Combat Fiend" (Prod. Velvet Sick) shows that GATTSBY can also add attitude onto a track as well.”
“In the Oakville borough of Toronto lives one Seth Macey, or better known to his fans as "GATTSBY," who labels his music as a mix of sounds in the "Hip-Hop, Alternative, Rap, and Rock genres." GATTSBY's music however isn't some cheap knock-off of the Beastie Boys, or the Gorillaz (before songs like "Feel Good Inc,") but is refreshingly unique because of a smooth, variable combination of the aforementioned musical styles.”
“The rapper performs shapely vocal performances that display skill and talent. His vocal performances are lyrically clear, even at a reasonable speeds, and are also punchy. The lyrical content of these tracks are original and thought-provoking. I would not normally engage with tracks like these ones, but I have to admit to enjoying them. I also feel that they have reasonable commercial potential.”
“His lyrics have a syncopation that is interesting and are pretty much to the point as you listen. The rapper has good timing as he speaks and he also has good annunciation.”
“The rapper's rapping is very nice and this proves how much of a good mc he is. His lyrics resonate with a painful generation rockered with death and destruction. The beats match the singer's rapping and create a nice blend in which the songs can really thrive. The teenage audience would love these song and records would fly off the shelves.”
“I appreciate how clear the singer's voice is, he enunciates well and keeps a steady rhythm when speaking/singing.”
“Certainly puts some raw emotion into his vocal delivery.”
“The artist is unique, his lyrics are in rap form and I like the flow he has. The sounds are very different and are something frankly refreshing for me. The lyrics are good and the word play is legit.”
“Very interesting and to be honest, I think we need more music similar to this. This guy is actually really talented. This is a song I would buy on I Tunes, and this is a song that would inspire me to buy the album it was featured on. There is so much potential for him that I would love to help hype him up. I believe this artist or whatever he is, deserves some recognition for his fantastic songs. Not only is his rapping well done, but the music is awesome, too.”
“I am impressed by the lyrics and as impressed by the singer. The skill is masterful. Staying in perfect rhythm with a beat, and tempo, while still making lyrics clear and concise is a tough task. This artist does it like a professional. I feel the sadness from the singer. I feel every word he sings. It is a great accomplishment for an artist to make the listener feel what they feel. Not many people can do that.”
