HBT Chats With BiiiG STRETCH

What first drew you into music?

Musicianship is family trait. My dad is a gospel bass player, my uncles are all musicians and one of my big cousins is a great producer and song writer. I got my instrument (guitar) when I was probably like 10 for Christmas. Then I started messing around playing piano and making beats when I was like 11 or 12.i guess music is just apart of me. I’m not really to worried about “blowing up” or anything selfish like that, I just want to keep making whatever I feel.

You are one of the best up and coming musicians we have encountered on the internet! And your track “No Brain” is probably your best track yet! Could you tell us more about the story behind this track?

I was sitting on that beat for a while and had the remix done with the doom verse on it for a while. I just never released it because I was finishing up my Album (the Raven prince stream it on Spotify/ apple music now) but yeah u always really liked that beat, I just couldn’t find anyone who wanted to rap on it.

Going over your Soundcloud we can tell you love experimenting with new sounds. Can you tell us more about your studio setup and some of your favorite plugins/instruments?

For my DAW I use ableton 9 and I usually route my maschine mk3 though ableton. I have a 1979 Korg Delta synth which I love very much, I use mainly max for live and native instrument plug ins.i also mix and master everything myself.

Your signature sound is already very professional and amazing to listen to! How did you manage to achieve such a professional sound in such a short time? Can you tell us more about your musical background?

I actual studied music production and sound design at Academy of Art in San Francisco. I only went for a year though and honestly I learned more just from putting in my 10,000 hours. But living in the bay was definitely a life changing experience. The culture there is incurable and my second family is out there.  Oh yeah I forgot to mention earlier that I got into  sound engineering when I was about 11 because I joined my churches sound team. Did that there for about 7 years. Learned a lot and it’s one of the reasons I wanted to go to school for production. 

All of your tracks are very melodic. Do you play any real-life instruments?

Yes, I play the piano proficiently but I can also play guitar, bass and drums.

What are your goals for the coming months? Any upcoming projects we can get excited about?

Well I drppped my debut album on major streaming services earlier this year so you should def check that out. But other then that I’m really excited about a track I have dropping on Halloween. I’m shooting my first ever music video with the homie Meer. Shout out Meer. I’m also working on a project with my homie lindseyshreds. He’s great. And I am also working on music with The other homie Slic3r. He’s also great and we already have a collab out called “Mind Control”. Oh yah and I’m going to drop an album next March it’s shaping up pretty well.
