Photographer Spotlight: Cia Gambino
Since the inception of flowsfordays, we’ve been interested in covering artists outside of music. It’s taken some time to make it happen, but we’ve started off right with Cia Gambino.

Interview with Shon Goner on track ‘The Chase’ (Dissection Interview Series)
Another day, another dissection. Shon Goner submitted The Chase to us a few weeks ago and we adored it…so much so that we hit him up about being a part of our series. It’s a gritty, slow tempo song with a brilliant chorus that sounds almost too good to be true. There is so much…

We Speak with Established Chicago Producer The 25th Hour (Exclusive Interview)
I love speaking with creatives. If you are a long time reader of FFD, you may be aware of that. Getting to know artists I have discovered, believe in, and enjoy is such a wonderful feeling. I’m not sure if our audience enjoys these or has any type of feelings towards them. Maybe no one…
