HOLLYWOOD, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 24, 2020 / Despite 2020 being one of the toughest years in history, musician ØHENRY has had a breakout season. The artist achieved many feats, including playing a part in a Billboard #1 album called Rare, singing background vocals on the song "Ring." He also participated in Bankrol Hayden's debut album "Pain is Temporary" as writer on the song "Ballin." The singer and songwriter gained these achievements and more on top of building his music brand in one of the harshest times.

The musician can only call himself blessed, gaining ground as one of the music world's best in R&B and hip hop as he collaborated with various international artists, went platinum, and developed some of his best material by far. Adapting and shifting during these tough times, Henry Oyekanmi, aka ØHENRY, chose to thrive and not just survive. Today, he reaps the benefits of all his hard work.

Getting to where he is today was far from easy. The Nigerian-American artist and producer from Oakland, California, had to put in the work. Growing up was far from a walk in the park for Henry for most of his life, but he always had music as a form of escape. He would jam with his friends every day after school, playing drums, percussion, and piano from an early age.

For a time, ØHENRY joined a band named "Poplyfe" and toured around the Bay Area, playing in festivals and concert venues with the band. Before the band would win fourth place in "America's Got Talent," Henry left the group to attend a scholarship summer program at the Berklee College of Music, which would later lead to a full-tuition scholarship and a degree in Music Business Management.

In 2015, Henry landed an internship with music bigs in Los Angeles. He connected with many other musicians, executives, and producers, building a solid network and setting himself up for the long haul. After returning to school and completing his degree, he would fly back to LA to start chasing after his dream of building a career around music. ØHENRY landed a brief assistant gig at APG, working directly under Jeff Vaughn. This job required Henry to search for upcoming talent, in which he then decided he was more than good enough to make his own music, and the rest is history.

ØHENRY has written and released a slew of high-quality tracks that have circulated streaming platforms and radio stations all over the country. In 2017, he started publishing singles like "Brand New," "Put It Down," "All Night," and "One More Night." The same year he released his first album, "Red Roses," which put him on the map. Since then, he's released track after track, building up his brand in the R&B and hip-hop world.

The versatile artist's sound is smooth and groovy, instantly turning into earworms. The level of songwriting and performance quality would pick the interest of his now mentor Nolan Lambroza, AKA "Sir Nolan," who would be instrumental to the artist's entry into the halls of music bigs.

Since his humble and early days, ØHENRY has gone far, breaking into Spotify hit playlists and gathering thousands of streams on the music platform a month. He's also worked with other iconic artists. Henry Oyekanmi hopes to continue making music and travel the world, doing what he loves best. And after his breakthrough year, he'll likely be rising to new heights very soon.

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 2020 / Artists are already signing on with AmplifyX, a platform allowing people to directly invest in both established and emerging artists. In an industry that has long been seen as impenetrable for outside investors, CEO Adam Cowherd notes that the time has never been more ripe for a surge in music investment. "The younger generation is more financially active than ever before," he notes. "Due to smartphones, it's just as easy to buy a stock as it is to listen to music."

AmplifyX's Beta comes at a time of anticipation for the music industry. Despite the short-term drop in revenue due to live concert cancellations across the globe, a report on the music industry predicts an overall rise to $131 billion by 2030. As investors increasingly recognize music as a valuable and reliable alternative asset class, new investment opportunities are set to play a major role in this predicted climb. Music can be a smart alternative investment to hedge your portfolio, along with art, cars, trading cards, and more. As various funds and public companies have been created as vehicles for music investment-most notably Hipgnosis Songs Fund and Round Hill Music-the appetite for these investments rises into the billions.

AmplifyX opens possibilities for direct artist-investor relations based on transparency, trust, and consumer confidence. In addition to being registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA, AmplifyX evaluates emerging artists for a baseline number of online listeners, social media followers, and a core management team-metrics that potentially indicate the likelihood of quality investments.

AmplifyX's first artist is Detroit native Rocky Badd. To date, Rocky has amassed over 330,000 social media followers and over 11 million YouTube views as a fully independent artist. Rocky Badd is partnering with AmplifyX to allow her supporters to invest in a piece of her work. "It's the ultimate way to give back to those who have believed in me over the years," she says.

As investors build portfolios of the artists they want to support, AmplifyX's desktop and mobile-friendly dashboard offers detailed analytics of each potential investment, including play numbers, listener paths, and catalog insights. When the time comes to make choices, investors are well-informed, armed with consumer confidence and the power to affect major change for artists they choose to invest in. AmplifyX democratizes access to the music industry and, in turn, gives artists an alternative financing model.

For the artists, that path includes retaining control over their intellectual property, creative freedom, as well as up to 90% of their royalties. Partnerships between AmplifyX and companies like Chartmetric, Cadenza.tv, CrowdFreak, Jeeni, and The Rattleoffer resources and infrastructure that artists would typically find at a record label.

In a music industry that's long been criticized for its tendencies toward artist exploitation, AmplifyX's well-regulated artist investment ecosystem carries the promise of growth and change. Many established artists are leaving behind once-traditional record labels for independent ownership. In fact,a report estimates that indie artists will generate $2 billion in revenue in 2020. "AmplifyX works for the independent artist, allowing them to retain their rights while providing them with an alternative financing source and another vehicle to foster artist-to-fan engagement," says VP of Business Development Kelli Richards, whose industry experience includes having launched and led Apple's initial focus on music and having been a label exec at EMI Music.

The AmplifyX solution means a bright future for artists, investors, and listeners alike. "If artists have people who really care deeply about their music, and are willing to put their money where their ears are, we're going to see the potential for incredible opportunities for all parties," says Cowherd. He and his team at AmplifyX are ready to open up the music industry to investors looking for a new, evergreen option-one with the power to effect widespread change and open doors that have long been closed to external investors.

The CO2 Delivery Solutions™ Commercial Installation purchase decision is the second based on GROW plant science data.

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / November 24, 2020 / Toronto based CO2 GRO Inc. ("GROW") (TSX-V:GROW, OTCQB:BLONF, Frankfurt:4021) is pleased to announce that it has sold a CO2 Delivery Solutions™ Commercial Installation to a British Columbia based smaller cultivator for medical Cannabis licensed under the Cannabis Act. The CO2 Delivery Solutions™ system was purchased based on GROW plant science data and testimonials from other customers currently using the technology.

Micro and Smaller Cannabis Cultivator Momentum and Opportunity

GROW has established considerable success with micro and smaller Cannabis and hemp cultivators across Canada and the U.S. Growers who operate cultivation facilities under 10,000 sq. ft. of canopy. Whether indoor or smaller hoop and greenhouses, all benefit from CO2 Delivery Solutions™' with up to 30% yield enhancement and pathogen Perimeter Protection™ while realizing significant CO2 cost savings compared to atmospheric CO2 gassing. Canada currently has 106 micro-cultivation licensees who can operate facilities with up to 2150 sq. ft. of Cannabis canopy. States in the U.S. have various regulatory frameworks that accommodate smaller cultivation operations. With additional jurisdictions in the U.S. approving some form of Cannabis legalization, a November 4, 2020 Marijuana Business daily reported the changes in legislation could generate USD$2.5 billion in additional sales by 2024. GROW's CO2 Delivery Solutions™ is well positioned to benefit from these positive industry trends.

According to Aaron Archibald, GROW's VP of Sales & Strategic alliances, "We are pleased to have our second 'straight-to-Commercial Installation' sale. We are finding a receptive niche with micro and smaller Cannabis and hemp growers where our CO2 Delivery Solutions™ systems have now been proven to provide rapid financial benefits to them. These customers can also provide more referrals and testimonials to help accelerate the adoption of our aqueous CO2 technology."

Visit www.co2delivery.ca for more information on CO2 Delivery Solutions™ or watch this video. To see a CO2 Delivery Solutions™ VCO2 system installation, watch this video.

About CO2 GRO Inc.

GROW's target markets are focused on the 50 billion square feet of global greenhouse and covered cultivation space (USDA). Atmospheric enrichment of CO2 by gassing has been practiced in indoor and expensive sealed greenhouses for decades resulting in enhance crop yields of up to 30%. However, 85% of the world's greenhouses are unsealed and have open-venting designs for heat ventilation which makes CO2 gassing uneconomical and impractical since the CO2 gas easily escapes.

GROW's CO2 Delivery Solutions™ naturally and safely dissolves CO2 gas into water creating an aqueous CO2 solution which is then misted directly on plant leaves. GROW has demonstrated its technology to be as effective as CO2 gassing by improving crop yields up to 30%, while using a fraction of the CO2 gas. The CO2 solution's micro droplets create an aqueous film around the entire leaf surface, isolating the leaf from the atmosphere. This creates a diffusion gradient favoring CO2 transport into the leaf and other gases out of the leaf. Increased carbon availability enhances photosynthesis resulting in faster and larger plant growth. CO2 Delivery Solutions™ has been demonstrated on crops including Cannabis, hemp, lettuce, kale, microgreens, peppers and flowers. In addition, aqueous CO2 misting offers pathogen Perimeter Protection™ for plants by slowing the spread of micro pathogens such as E. coli and powdery mildew. Greenhouse growers everywhere can now supplement CO2 to their crops using CO2 Delivery Solutions™, increasing plant yields and profits.

Company Says Commissioning of the Plant Now Planned to Begin During the Week of November 30, 2020

SHERMAN OAKS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 24, 2020 / Petroteq Energy Inc. ("Petroteq" or the "Company") ‎‎(TSXV:PQE)(‎OTC PINK:PQEFF)(FSE:PQCF), an integrated oil ‎company focused on the development and implementation of its proprietary oil-‎extraction technologies, announced that work to upgrade the capacity and reliability of its oil sands plant at Asphalt Ridge (the "POSP") is nearing completion with commissioning of the POSP now planned to begin during the week of November 30, 2020.

The Company is further pleased to announce that:

All critical equipment has been received and installed at the POSP. Installation of buildings over the nitrogen system and the vapor recovery system and erection of wind-walls at the mixing tank area and decanter deck were completed this past weekend to better allow for operations during winter months. Pressure testing of piping systems is currently underway as part of POSP pre-commissioning activities in preparation for plant start-up.

All site personnel completed mandatory Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) training last week in advance of the restart of mining and ore handling operations. Rental equipment needed for ore crushing and handling is scheduled to arrive on site over the course of this week.

Subcontract mining quotations have been received and are being evaluated with a formal mining subcontract expected to be placed this week.

First fills of solvent and other consumables is expected to be delivered early next week.

George Stapleton, Petroteq COO, commented: "We expect to spend most of the first two weeks of December completing commissioning activities and shaking down various systems within the POSP prior to once again operating the full POSP and extracting oil from oil sands. The team at site has worked around a number of supplier delays and the impacts of the recent declaration by the Governor of Utah of a COVID State of Emergency in Utah, but in spite of that we have successfully remained mostly on schedule and have already begun pre-commissioning of plant front-end systems. All of us are looking forward to restarting oil production and validating that the POSP upgrades have been a success."

In addition, the Company intends to complete a shares for debt transaction, pursuant to which it will issue 1,538,461 common shares in satisfaction of US$60,000 of indebtedness owed to an arm's length service provider. The Company determined (with the creditor's consent) to satisfy the foregoing indebtedness with common shares in order to preserve the Company's cash for use on its extraction technology in Asphalt Ridge, Utah, and for working capital. The transaction is subject to completion and execution of a definitive agreement and all necessary approvals, including from the TSX Venture Exchange. The common shares issuable pursuant to the transaction will be issued in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), and applicable state securities laws, and will be issued as "restricted securities" (as defined in Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act). In addition, such securities will be subject to a Canadian four-month hold period.

About Petroteq Energy Inc.
Petroteq is a clean technology company focused on the development, implementation and licensing of a patented, environmentally safe and sustainable technology for the extraction and reclamation of heavy oil and bitumen from oil sands and mineable oil deposits. Petroteq is currently focused on developing its oil sands resources at Asphalt Ridge and upgrading production capacity at its pilot heavy oil extraction facility located near Vernal, Utah.

Petroteq believes that ‎its technology can produce a relatively sweet heavy crude oil from deposits of oil ‎sands at Asphalt Ridge without requiring the use of water, and therefore without generating ‎wastewater which would otherwise require the use of other treatment or disposal facilities which could be ‎harmful to the environment. Petroteq's process is intended to be a more environmentally friendly ‎extraction technology that leaves clean residual sand that can be returned to the environment, without the use of tailings ponds or further remediation.
