Beacon Light Releases 'Stay Up' Single & Readies New Album
Beacon Light, a Hip Hop artist from Grand Rapids, MI, has released his new single 'Stay Up', taken from his new album dropping on 30th March.
Beacon Light's music varies from hard hitting 808s & creative wordplay, to poetic lyricism over emotionally packed chord progressions. Beacon’s music is a platter of energetic singles and good vibes, blended with moments of deep conversations about real issues and uncomfortable topics.
He has been featured on numerous Spotify playlists, Top 30 Billboard charts, Top 50 Hip Hop charts on iTunes. Beacon has had songs in TV/FILM as well, including “Power” (a Starz original series produced by 50 Cent). In 2016 his music video “Haters” won video of the year in the We Love Music Awards.
“I make music to make a difference,” says Beacon. “I believe what I have to say needs to be heard by everybody.”
Beacon’s faith is evident in his lyrics. “Life is full of highs and lows,” says Beacon, “I try to make music that honestly reflects those moments. From my albums to my live shows, I want to take people on a musical journey that glorifies Jesus and embodies redemption. My life was a mess before Christ. I was sexually abused, confused about who I was, and very angry at God; but Jesus took me, embraced me, and showed me how to live. My life is better ONLY because of Him.”
Seeing lives change is what keeps Beacon energized to pursue his call in music. “Its amazing news when you hear that your song is a daily reminder for someone to not cut themselves,” Beacon remarks. “Or that your video encouraged someone to tell their Pastor about the sexual abuse going on in their lives and seek healing in Jesus. Those are the moments that remind me why I make music.”
