New Jersey’s 54 Ultra continues introducing himself today with a new song, “Upside Down.” The retro soul track was inspired by the 1970s Philly Soul movement and blends heartfelt lyrics with velvety horn and vibraphone arrangements. “Upside Down” was written by 54 Ultra himself and produced alongside Vince Chiarito (Jalen Ngonda) in Brooklyn, New York.

 

 

54 Ultra will preview new and unreleased music at an intimate show this week in Los Angeles at The Silverlake Lounge on April 5th. RSVP is open now.

In the kaleidoscopic world of music, 54 Ultra emerges as a beacon of sonic fusion, weaving synthy indie rock with a Latin soul heartbeat. Rising out of New Jersey, 54 Ultra is the musical project of songwriter and producer Johnny Rodriguez. Offering music that is honest and melodic with a charismatic stage presence, 54 Ultra is carving out a space uniquely his own, a garage pop and soul sound.

54 Ultra’s smooth vocals and tasteful production create a feeling of instant nostalgia that has already begun to garner fans from around the word. His song “Where Are You” continues to grow rapidly on social media, along with the young artist’s profile.
