Hey, super nice to have the chance to chat with you. What have you been up to over the past year in this big old mess?
Thanks for the opportunity. I have been focused on building my brand with new releases and increasing my growth and exposure throughout the music industry. Right now, my focus has been on my two latest releases, “Ballad Of The Reaper” and “Come Follow Me And We Ride.”
I’m very interested in how you started your adventure with music, and did you know from the beginning that this is what you wanted to do?
When I was a teenager, my biggest dream was to be a hip hop music artist. At the age of thirteen, I was inspired to write music from my rap idols, Bone Thugs – N- Harmony. I would enjoy their music and the way the group had made music in sync with each other. It was very motivating and inspiring. I have been hooked on rap music every since and haven’t looked back.
Congrats on your new release, ‘Ballad of the Reaper’. Can you give us some insight into it?
Ballad Of The Reaper talks about letting go of all doubts, fears, and challenges presented to me. I have been rapping for a couple of decades. Unfortunately, it has taken me a while to come out to the public. I recently came out publicly in 2020 with my EP, “Reapercussions.” I wanted to talk about my story of how im closer to my goals in music. How the time is right for me to be known on center stage and telo let all listener/viewers see my talent and who I am as an artist.
What are you doing to ensure you continue to grow and develop as an artist?
Well, first and foremost, I’m continuing to release great music. I am building my presence online with press releases, getting charted on Itunes and promoting myself via on streaming platforms and radio. My main focus is to put myself out there more to the audience. Whether it be with my music, music videos, and motivational quotes. I also aim to establish relationships and points of contact to further my brand as an artist. And increase engagement through social media in or to get familiar with my fan base and target audience.
What should we expect from your next releases in terms of style and sound? How different are they going to be compared to your previous works?
Right now I am focusing on an EP for late 2023. I dont have a specific title for the EP at this moment. But I want to showcase my versatility as an artist. This EP im working on will be more of a mixtape type album. I want to show other parts of me in my music to the world. This album will be more of a street type vibe.
Where are you based? Can you tell us how the music scene there has inspired your sound at all?
Im from Woodbridge, VA. Back when I was in high school. A lot of people I knew would love to rap and that was one of our focuses back then.
If you could perform at any venue in the world, where would it be and why?
I would love to perform at the half time show in the Super Bowl. Everyone loves to watch one of the biggest events in sports. It would be a honor to perform their live.
Can we expect a new EP or an album from you in the near future?
Yes, an EP is in the works late this year.
Finally, have you got anything to share regarding upcoming gigs, and what have you got planned for 2023?
For right now, Im looking to promote the “Ballad Of The Reaper” music video. It’s scheduled to be released in the first quarter of this year. Also, finishing up this new EP and the “Come Follow Me And We Ride” music video. Im also planning to start getting booked for live gigs.
