Interview

Want to do an interview for brblife.com?
Sure!

Describe your music and tell us why we should listen to it.
I try to make new sounds out of old sounds (like samples) or improvised sounds (instruments), and I guess just try to make whatever sounds good to me. I really don't know why you should listen to it but if you want to get in the mind of a true bedroom artist then they can take a peak.

What inspires you and the music you create?
Whatever I hear purposely or coincidentally, movie films and real life inspires me. As far as other artists, I've been inspired by groups like Anticon, Wu Tang, and Jefferson Airplane and many others of every genre.

How did you first get into making music?
I got into making music because it was the only thing that interested me as a kid besides girls. On cable television, I would always watch the music video channel every hour that I could, and I'd see all these artists that made good music, pretty soon I started wondering if I could also produce a beat or a song just as good as the ones I liked.
I grew up with people that listened to anything the radio fed them, so when I showed them my music they would either freak out or say it's "interesting" (who knows what they were really thinking that they couldn't say to my face). I used to make a lot more music when I smoked weed.

What kind of equipment do you use?
I use a Dr. Sample SP303, Dr. Groove DR202 drum machine, BR1180 digital recorder, and a PSR520 keyboard (from back in 8th grade). Oh and a damn MPC2000XL which I haven't figured out how to use yet, lol.

Cool, thanks dude!
By the way, I've had a creative block for the past year so most of the tracks are pretty old, I just decided to make a myspace for them. Oh and I forgot list my beat up guitar that my dad gave me a long time ago, as well as my dr-cx1 compressor microphone for when I find someone who wants to add lyrics to my beats, or when I feel the need to spit rhymes myself.
And also, I don't have any official albums and not on any label just in case you thought I was, but I have plenty of unofficial albums in my cd crates, lol.
