I found this on /r/bestof and absolutely had to share among everyone else now. Deadmau5 found this New Jersey artist, BoMason and wants to help him out. Although, let’s start from the beginning of the story. On December 12th, 2016, BoMason posted a photo of a contract between him and his father on flying and paying his rent in Los Angeles to help boost his music career.
If Bo Mason gets 2 million plays on “Evolve,” I, Peter Mason, will pay for his flight to LA, California. I will also pay his rent from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017. So, if the song gets 2 million plays before year’s end, you will have 1 year of rent. However, if the song gets 2 million plays in June, you will have 6 months left of free housing sponsored by me, Peter Mason.

Deadmau5 managed to find this tweet and wanted to talk to him about his ideas and his understanding. He then heard his music and while it isn’t his music, he sees tremendous talent in him (and his brother) as well as plenty of potential. Deadmau5 decided to one up this offer by his father and pledge that if BoMason gets 1 million plays, he will fly him to Mau5trap and help him co-produce and album. Here’s Deadmau5’s full reddit post.
Upon my casual twitter lurking, i stumbled across this tweet… what caught my attention, was the notion that moving to LA for a year would get this guys career off the ground. Not that its a stupid idea, im not berating that… that’s what he wanted, what he believed… so i found that commendable. But, i wanted to help the guy. I’ve been in the sam mindset of “gaaahdd, gotta get the fuck out of Niagara Falls, move to LA… make it big…” been there, done that. So i wanted to have a convo with the dude… so i hit him up with a DM on twitter…. while i was doing that… i clicked on his soundcloud link… and listened to a few of the songs… and LO AND BEHOLD… i found natural talent. Of course, all credit goes to him (and his brother) for producing and helping write some of the songs… and while as most of you know… its not, stylistically, my cup of tea…. i can still recognize talent when i hear it. I think he’s got a great voice, and knowledge of how to apply it (without drowning babies in autotune) and amazing chord structures….
To sum it all up, im going to propose an offer…. i pledge, if this guy gets 1 million plays, I will fly him to mau5trap, and help him co-produce an album. I think we can make some really interesting stuff. 😀
So….. you know what to do. Check his soundcloud out…. in all truthfulness, i think you’ll enjoy it… even if its not your preferred style, i think youll all appriciate the time, thought, and talent that went into what he’s put up there.
1 million plays from deadmau5
Now for the track itself. While it is a bit of a stretch compared to the music we post here, the production and the vocals are too good not to post. This is a track you must check out and give it a few listens because it is very good and we’re helping him get to one and two million views.
