Welcome back to BuzzMusic JCarter. We adore the smooth and sensual sound of your atmospheric hit, "CHEATIN". What inspired this passionate and honest song?
The inspiration behind "CHEATIN" is real life, I would say.. sometimes as people "In Love," we tend to hold on longer to situations that have run their course. Rather it's because of Comfort, Esteem is low, Kids, Obligation, whatever it is.. love often blinds us to reality.
What was your goal regarding the listener's experience with "CHEATIN"? What do you hope this single does for them?
My goal regarding listeners' experience when listening to "CHEATIN" is for them to relate to it. Sometimes things happen; we're human, and nobodies perfect. It's possible; depending on the situation & circumstance, for the temptation to creep in. So I hope this song is a reminder that it's okay not to force a situation that's over".
How does "CHEATIN" contrast your previous releases? How does this song stand out for you regarding lyrics, sound, concepts, and visuals?
The contrast between "CHEATIN" and my first single, "7th Drink," is the tempo & vibe to me.. "7th Drink" is a little more laid back and moody, while "CHEATIN" is a little more upbeat and catchy. The two songs actually complement each other when listened to together.. from "7th Drink" to "CHEATIN." Lyrics, Sound, and Concept are all parallel and tell the same story; that's the real stand out to me; visuals are totally different, LOL.
Tell us a bit about your personal journey. How has it shaped you into the artist you are today?
Personally, I've been singing with my cousins since a kid. I recorded my first song when I was 21 called "Hey Girl". In 2012 I recorded a Mixtape, and in 2014 I recorded an EP. Now I'm finally working on my Album, which I'm excited about. As far as my journey; I'm still on it, and it's still shaping my artistry. What's next for you?
What's next for me? more Music, more Visuals, more Merch, Live Performances, and hopefully some Acting/Modeling of some sort. We'll see LOL.
