Multi-genre Lorain musician Bravenn DeHill set to drop first project

Lorain native Bravenn DeHill broke into the music world when he dropped his first single “One of a Kind” in September.

Now, he is putting the finishing touches on his first project, a multi-genre EP set to drop by the end of the year.

Tito Tahan, the record executive who signed DeHill to ProducerLife Records in 2021, is the man behind all of the instrumentals in the upcoming project. DeHill credited Tahan’s range as a producer.

“Tito makes all the beats,” Dehill said. “They’re soulful, tribal, country.

“We’re dipping our toes into everything and it’s working so far. I enjoy the music we’re making.”

Tahan said the range in genres makes the music strong but that putting together a multi-genre project still has some challenges.

“We’re trying to pick out what to release because (DeHill) does country, he does pop, he does EDM, he does rap, he does reggaetón,” Tahan said. “Trying to find what works is hard. Whatever he puts out will be put into a box.”

Finding ways to connect each track is something DeHill said can help the project flow.

“It still will feel intertwined together even though each song is different,” he said “I say something in a country song that I bring into a reggaetón song.”

Tahan said he has helped DeHill learn Spanish for the reggaetón songs the two have been working on. He noted that he has picked up singing in Spanish very quickly.

Being different is something that the pair embrace. Tahan said working in a city size of Lorain has challenges but that it gives them the opportunity to be different.

“A lot of times it’s difficult because there’s a scarcity of connections here in general,” Tahan said. “On the flip side of that, it’s really good because you also have the uniqueness of not having those connections and you’re able to be different in an industry that is so similar.

They aim to build off of the positive momentum from “One of a Kind” that Tahan said has about 1,800 monthly listeners since its release on Sept. 10.

“It’s doing really well for an artist who never released a song before,” Tahan said. “It was his first release ever and we really didn’t do much promotion either.”

They said they dropped that debut single about a month earlier than they originally planned but that it has been positive because they have had more time to see how people have reacted to it.

There is no official date set for the new release yet, but DeHill and Tahan said they aim to drop the project before the year is over, around Christmas or New Year’s. They also said listeners can expect a new single shortly before the full project.
