There is a new musical duo who feed off positive energy and the result is music that is light years ahead. Can someone say beam me up Scotty. Along with their dynamic producer and manager otherwise known as simply “The Coach” they are creating music that is cutting edge with beats and lyrics that are authentic. T-360 and Jan1 consider themselves a collective group of individuals whose works often feature emerging artists such as unique lyrical rapper E-lom.
Both agree that many groups dissolve as a result of a break down in outlooks and in the T-360 music camp communication is the foundational key to their closeness. T-360 is always in the same head space with the absence of an ego and has an undying realistic loyalty to his team members. Jan1 is the voice of reason and points out areas where they can improve. Unlike other industry cats these guys seem to thrive off constructive criticism. Their current tunes, the Future and Pushy Mama which both have remixes from a variety of deejays spill out nothing but good vibes. Pushy Mama is a fun social commentary on how female individuals maintain that lifestyle of high energy depth to where everyone is having a good time whether male or female. We haven’t had any negative responses and it is a light hearted song and not to be taken seriously. They love their female fans, no one likes a Pushy Mama male or female. Jan1 states that T-360 music is doing something different where most songs are about negativity and emptiness.He also makes note that he hasn’t heard much music out there that is similar to what they are bringing to the atmospheric musical table. Most of the hit songs today talk about sex, drugs and there is a need for positive music. He strongly feels that some of these artists need to ask themselves how they are personally effecting the future of others. Speaking of the Future which is the title of one of their exploding tracks with remixes from various deejays including some noted Europeans. The track is a feel good vibe where according to T-360 everyone can relate both rich and poor, students and those in the working force. We all have our struggles in life and it happens to the best of us but it will work itself out. For as long as you have faith do not be afraid of the unknown just look to the future.
Overall this duo is just trying to promote positivity. Unlike many songs which focus on problems rather than solutions they are providing alternative solutions via music.

Edited Version of Article:
T360 the artist has a strong charisma that is contagious. Elom who is a unique stylistic rapper was connected via a friend and the Coach listened to his material and was moved. This track was in his words” fresh” for he was used to free styling to typical rap beats. This was different; there was a dance side with a good concept and simply pristine! No usual cussing or negative undertones, in a word “fresh.”
When asked what the term Pushy Mama meant to him, he responded that it was not a particular female issue but something that was a part of life, neither male nor female but a concept of control. The Coach created it based on the concept of wanting to do something without bashing anyone or preaching about an issue but to make fun of it. The track calls for even those who can identify with the reality to laugh and not be put on the spot! Pushy Mama was written to illustrate that a clean piece without profanity can be created beyond the box.The entire concept of Pushy Mama from its fusion of Asian and Black artists, to music to its hot video is all definitely against the grain!
The genre is house or club music with a flare of hip hop. The track has a great hook with a good feel. I can experience the journey that it takes you on from country to country as well as flowing amongst the various designers. The Coach visualized the piece cinematically in audio and musically frames this by taking the listener on an adventure with various sound effects including the airplane. The synergy between the two artists T360 and Elom also displays a comedic twist in song.
Demographic for Pushy Mama is not limited to the club persona for all people can relate to the concept and as the Coach stated one guy’s mother who is seventy plus thought the track was quite hot! I personally view Pushy Mama as being futuristic with the infusion of hip hop within club music in a sophisticated format. So many are programmed to believing this untruth. Pushy Mama Audio is an experience and the full video allows you a front row ticket to the artistic ride of uncovering subliminal truths!
Pushy Mama is available on itunes, amazon.com, and cd baby! T360music can be found on Twitter, Facebook and Youtube.
