Q. Good day, SPV! we appreciate you taking the time to speak with us. The first thing we want to know is What made you want to become a musician?
A. I started making music back in middle school, but even as a kid in kindergarten, I had two friends who would freestyle on top of apartment stairs, and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Around 7th grade, I began making beats on my phone. A few weeks later, my uncle gave me a laptop with Ableton 9 on it, so I taught myself everything and developed my skills from there.
Q. Who are your musical influences and why?
A. The people I work with inspire me the most; we’ve been pushing each other for years. If I had to name specific artists who have inspired me, it would be Isaiah Rashad, Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q, Clams Casino, and Larry. However, I enjoy a wide range of music and don’t like to box myself into one category.
Q. What has been your biggest career highlight so far?
A. The biggest highlight of my career so far is the project I released in 2022 called “Hierarchy.” I couldn’t have done it without my producer in Canada, Melaton Archives, who produced most of the tracks for free because he believed in me from day one.
Q. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
A. In five years, I see myself giving back to my peers who have been with me through the struggle. I hope to make a decent living from music so I can focus solely on creating better music. Time and money are significant factors in this industry, and I don’t have enough of either.
Q. What Is One Message You Have for Your Fans and Supporters?
A. My message to everyone is not to fall into society’s expectations. Do what you want to do because, in the end, nothing else will truly matter. I’ve also learned not to trust anyone easily; loyalty is rare these days, and if you find it, hold on to it.
