Last week, the lucky winner was Eline Chavez (https://www.onisme.com) better known as Eline C, a San Antonio native whose song, "My America" is now rightfully eligible for the annual prize for her poignant and timely song accompanied by a moving and powerful video which can be seen below... - Broadway World

New York-based artist Eline Chavez released the video for, “My America” the latest single from her music project, Onism E which she describes as “a culmination of life experiences wrapped up in a soulful package.” The video is powerful, showcasing footage of various protest marches in support of the Black Lives Matter movement which gained global attention following the killing of George Floyd by law enforcement on May 25, 2020. The project name derives from the term Onism, which is the awareness of how little of the world you will actually experience. Chavez is joined on this project by guitarist Chris ‘Lefty’ Vargas and bass player Chris ‘CeeRod’ Rodriguez.

The song is now available on all digital platforms; noting that 100% of download proceeds of the single, “My America” via BandCamp will be donated to the Equal Justice Initiative.

Chavez was born in California and had lived in Texas before settling in New York. She draws inspiration from her life trek across the country in her songwriting:

AND I’VE LONG SINCE FORGOTTEN / WHAT IT MEANS TO BE FREE / BETWEEN THE HATE AND THE VIOLENCE / I’M AFRAID TO BE ME /

Onism E Bio

Onism E is a New York-based soulful, indie-rock group who is all about being down to earth and being about the music. With each song being an open connection to the listener and a fuzzy warm blanket from the members Eline Chavez (vocals), Chris ‘Lefty’ Vargas (guitar), and Chris ‘CeeRod’ Rodriguez (bass), Onism E welcomes anyone without any judgment or questions. Recently, Onism E released their statement of a record “My America,” and we love every second of their comforting sound.


“My America” opens up with a monologue of current world events and how people are coming together before blowing us off of our seats with an equally thundering and chill rhythm section that we couldn’t help but feel nostalgic by. What seals the deal is when Eline Chavez’s silky vocals enter, they were incredibly comforting to listen to - almost like a soft pillow you can lean on after a long day. “My America” is both feel good and emotional, it’s one of those records where it will really make you think about yourself and your life and all of those around you, and we believe this is exactly what Onism E wanted in their music. Since listening to “My America,” our hearts are full of warmth and can’t wait to hear what else is coming from Onism E.

Onism E recently released a new single titled “Love You More” with an accompanying music video. Based out of New York City, this indie rock band is the latest project for singer-songwriter Eline Chavez. Following singles “Let You Go” and “Stay” that were released earlier in 2019, “Love You More” is a beautiful track that tremendously evokes emotion out of listeners from all walks of life.

Onism E Uses Music To Spread Positive Messages To Listeners
It is so evident when an artist puts all of themselves uninhibitedly into their music and Onism E embodies what it means to share emotional truths through the power of songwriting. Eline shared in an Ask Me Anything video she put on Youtube that “Love You More” was written for a dear friend of hers named Nate, with the meaning behind it being that no matter who he was, she would always love him more than how he felt.

Both the song and accompanying video take us on a melodic journey filled with strength and meaning that explores what it means to be human and reminds us that everyone needs love and compassion. Set in a beautiful log cabin, the video shows us behind the scenes as the band sets up for recording as well as shots of them performing the song. The video feels wonderfully cozy, with warm wooden coloring. The comfort of the setting was an excellent choice, as the aesthetic harmoniously complements the meaning behind the song.

Heavily infused with guitar and percussion, “Love You More” is filled with riveting instruments that highlight the alternative rock/indie fusion that we love so much about the band. Eline is a vocal powerhouse in their latest single as her voice unearths emotion and connectivity from listeners. If you love this song as much as we do, be sure to check out the rest of Onism E’s music on Youtube and Spotify as well as their official website. You can also connect with them on social media through Facebook and Twitter. - Indie Band Guru
