My direction is try to be as real as possible! Of course your going to fabricate some things cuz that’s just hip hop. I have a great imagination but I also want to be real with. Bringing life to some of my own reality is ultimately what I’m striving to capture. I speak for a lot of people just like me that don’t have a voice.
I have a home studio where I write, produce, mix, engineer and master all of my music. I’ve been doing that for years. I wanted to know how to do it so I wouldn’t have to rely on others. I’m still learning to this day but I’ve come a long way! My process in the studio is turn on the beat and come with the hook first, from there I can decide if I’m going to try to rip the beat in half or make it more melodic. It usually takes me about 1 hour to complete a full song. I’m not doing any collaborations at this moment but in 2018 I have a couple in the works! I use Logic Pro x to do everything!
It’s an everyday struggle to keep my balance.
I have a wife and 2 kids and as an independent artist, we wear so many hats. Since it’s all up to us to develop a DIY approach with our own marketing, artists have a lot on our plates daily! I’m still learning how to find a balance but my wife has been pretty patient with me, understanding I’m doing this for us ..
Marketing! It’s a big part of the game!
I’ve been in classes online classes seminars you name it! I know my music has a chance to be a huge success but if no one sees it or hear it it doesn’t matter I watched a couple of your videos on YouTube before had some great info on there that I applied immediately!
I live in… Oakland! The music scene here is crowded to say the least but it is what it is I think how I stand out is my talent and also my professionalism and my social media set up! Those are in top shape it’s just a material of put my music in the right hands!
