What first drew you into music?
Funny story, what originally drew me into music was a scene from the 1995 classic Robin WilliamsFilm Jumanji. It was the scene in the store with the crash. Before the crash they were in the car and the little monkeys were on a motorcycle. I remember getting hyped up because the bike was chasing the car I was at least 10 when that happened. I remember being excited and I came up with a tune a little bit after and at the time my family didn’t have anything on the computer to record with but I definitely remember ripping out a page from those old school encyclopedias because there was no actual paper around and wrote out of excitement due to that scene Biker Boyz which was my first song ever and I still have it today.
Your track “Purple Trees” is absolutely amazing! How did you achieve such a great signature sound in such a short time? Also, what is your creative process like?
It really wasn’t hard to achieve my sound because if you hear me talk in person I sound the same as me when I’m rapping. Its really how well I put everything together in the end. I remember having a report for my 3rd period English class where we had to present in front of class. My teacher actually pulled me aside after and asked if I rap because she could hear it in my voice just regularly talking which I think is cool . Shout out Mrs. King. When I decide when I want to write a song I take notes first. I then organize them and arrange them where I need them to be and I light a blunt and get started that’s really 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?
Well my set up is in my living room in my apartment. I work in a small corner by my couch it’s not much but it works for me at least for now. When I make music I try to set a certain tone for the listeners that’ll draw them to feel the beat more, so when they here my sound, it won’t sound like any others because it’s not always the same. I like to experiment so I don’t always use the same plugins for my songs. I try to switch it up and I really try to focus on the bass of the song only because when I listen to anyone’s music when I close my eyes I want to feel the music. I feel the music more when I hear the bass. The bass is important to me.
Your music sounds very organic and authentic. Do you play any real-life instruments?
The only instrument that I actually dabbled and took the time to learn is the ukulele and I also wrote a song. I don’t know what it is but I love the sound of a ukulele. It’s similar to a bass not the sound but how it makes me feel.
What are your musical goals for the future?
I want to do big concerts with a few big names and do different shows in different areas around the world. Definitely looking forward to doing collabs and working with different people. Every artist is different so that’s something to look forward to doing and I can’t wait!
What are your goals for the coming months? Any upcoming projects we can get excited about?
I’m working towards promoting more of my music and doing shows actually getting my music out and heard. I have a few singles dropping soon and I’m excited about them. So everyone can be on the lookout for those. I really just want to all and all have fun with it music is just something I love doing and you can never have too much fun when it comes to it.
