23-year-old Dillon Shamoun who goes by his stage name Not Dillion from Detroit Michigan is taking on the music world with his EDM-infused samples that have garnered some of the best audience engagements on Spotify and Soundcloud.

Electronic Dance Music or EDM is the newest contemporary vent of musical appropriation and who better than Not Dillion who has incorporated never-before-known degrees of creative deconstructions in his soundscape. A DJ, music producer, and songwriter, his accomplishments at just 23 puts him in the circle of prodigies. Music has always been integral in his life, initially as a silent impetus and later on as a full-time force always compelling him to achieve and present the best in him. He is a self-taught artist that gives him more insight into the various creative latitudes of EDM and his own interpretations of musical consciousness.

Not Dillon’s music career can be officially consolidated into three years to date. By now, he is already sitting at the zenith of Spotify’s curated playlists as he is savouring the sweet audience acknowledgment from his trending scope on Soundcloud. Spotify alone aggregates about 10 million streams of his tracks globally and on the other hand, has reigned the top artist on Soundcloud several times. However, his introduction to music that would later pursue him to take it up professionally crossed his path during his years at Michigan State University as a Kinesiology major. It was actually during one of the music festivals where he met some DJ friends and the connection was instant. Dillon performed with them as he realized that music is where his happy destiny lies. He discontinued as a student to expand his musical creative wisdom and formulate it into an eccentric one. His soundscape is an inspiring tale of his life experiences and relationships that helped him find themes in his music. All in all, a university student who gradually formed his fan base and musical perspective in such a short time is worth all the praise in the world. Not Dillon’s single ‘Back To The Start’ featuring fellow artist Laura Page has also received critical appreciation.

Apart from being an artist himself, he is also associated with the professional field of artist management. As a former employee of Apple working in the sales department, he realized very early on that this life is not what defines him. One of his biggest accomplishments came after his first song as a solo artist was signed to Sony. He is all about performing on stage that boosts his confidence like no other. He performed across the USA and is now getting ready to share his EDM hunch with the world. His remixed samples of songs by The Chainsmokers, LIVVIA, and more add to his career graph like exponential factors. Although he is still young and just starting his professional journey of artistic and musical pursuits, his conviction and passion with never bring him down. A story from the next-door-guy to the next-big-thing, Not Dillon is just getting started with his quirk, mirth, and EDM curations.

Sitting in the dimly lit theater, I had no idea what to expect as the opening credits of “The Firing Squad” began to roll. Little did I know that I was about to embark on an emotional journey that would leave me reaching for tissues and struggling to catch my breath.

The film follows the true story of three Christians facing execution by firing squad in a third world country. Directed by Timothy A. Chey, it features a stellar cast including James Barrington, Kevin Sorbo, and Cuba Gooding Jr. Each actor brings their character to life with such authenticity and depth that it’s impossible not to be fully immersed in their struggles and triumphs.

As the plot unfolded, I found myself drawn into a world of despair and desperation, but also one of unwavering faith and hope. The characters’ journey from darkness to light, from despair to redemption, resonated with me on a deeply personal level. I couldn’t help but be moved by their courage and resilience in the face of unimaginable adversity.

But it was the performances that truly stole the show. James Barrington’s portrayal of the protagonist’s internal turmoil was nothing short of mesmerizing, while Kevin Sorbo and Cuba Gooding Jr. delivered powerhouse performances that left me in awe.

And then there was the message of the film—that no matter how bleak the circumstances may seem, there is always hope. That even in our darkest moments, faith has the power to transform lives and bring about redemption. It was a message that hit me like a ton of bricks, leaving me with tears streaming down my face and a renewed sense of purpose.

As the credits rolled and the lights came up, I found myself struggling to put into words the impact that “The Firing Squad” had on me. All I could manage was, “I cried buckets of tears.” And I wasn’t alone. As I looked around the theater, I saw others wiping their eyes and exchanging emotional glances.

In the end, “The Firing Squad” wasn’t just a movie—it was an experience. An experience that left me feeling inspired, uplifted, and profoundly grateful for the power of cinema to touch the soul. And for that, I will be forever grateful.

The movie is set to premiere in the theatres worldwide on August 2, 2024. And this is definitely a must watch movie, reminding people of the strength of faith.
