Hi Nick! How did you get started in making music?
I started out in the church as a drummer around age 6. Eventually I joined the school band where I learned how to actually build and structure music. I decided to actually take the time out to record around last year. My friends were use to hearing me rap all the time but after they learned that I could actually compose music they pushed me to go ahead and put some material out.
What is the meaning behind “Enter The Darkside”?
I really couldn’t give a simple answer on that so I’ll just say the meaning could be relative to each listener and their perception.
What do you want the listener to take away from this track?
I want them to take away the lesson of balance. Often time we shun the darkness and avoid unpleasantries or anything negative and label them as bad. Instead, I encourage people to embrace the darkness as much as the light and balance them out. That’s all ying and yang is. A balance of both sides.
Is there any artist that influences your sound? If so, who?
Kanye West, Kevin Gates, Kadriene and Damien Cleark, Sam Smith, and a bunch of Orchestra composers many people wouldn’t know haha.
What’s your favorite part in “Enter The Darkside”?
“Everyone hates us, everyone’s scared, Everyone fear what the don’t understand” Pretty self explanatory. Humans sometime shy away from things that go beyond their comprehension abilities. But a person can learn to love, understand and appreciate things they never though they would just by having an open mind.
