Q. Good day, JayKhasoDream! We appreciate you taking the time to speak with us. The first thing we want to know is How did you get into making music?
A. I had gotten into music because I always liked the aura of it. Everything was music when it came to me, whether it was playing instruments or singing — it was my passion. It was a goal I’ve always had: to be on stage somewhere one day, perform, and have a successful life. My pops, before he passed away, told me and my brothers to keep on doing music, to keep singing. And I might not just be strictly singing — I’m rapping now — but it’s still in the music field that he knew I had a purpose in.
Q. Who are your musical influences and why?
A. My biggest music influencers are Khaso Yosupreme Z, Veeze, and Juice WRLD. I could keep going about a few more of my favorite artists, which are my bros, but I’ma keep it short — they know who they are. I love Khasorixh’s music because it had messages and sometimes pain put into the song about his life story, and he was trying to tell the world — and that’s what I do in a lot of my music. YosupremeZ has his own flow. He says no matter what anyone says, he doesn’t want to be like anyone else, and I love that. That’s why I rap the way I do — like no one else. I like Veeze because his flow is something like I’ve never heard before. I also love Juice WRLD; I’ve always been a fan of him. He showed me the positivity in everything — no matter what, you can make it. It might take time, it might take years, but don’t give up.
Q. What has been your biggest career highlight so far?
A. I haven’t had a real biggest career highlight yet, besides my debut music video Feeling Left Out. But me and MizzyBlitz have an EP breakout album on the way — stay tuned.
Q. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
A. In five years, I see myself making millions, being on the Top 100 Billboard Artists list, paying back the people that helped me along the way, having a beautiful family, and having all things prosper in my life.
Q. What is one message you have for your fans and supporters?
A. If I have any message for the fans, it’s to keep pushing — don’t give up. Whatever it is you wanna do, do it. Can’t nobody tell you, you can’t, and if they do, tell them to go f*** themselves, ’cause they can’t be like you.
