It’s always a pleasure when we get to chat with you, KanBoy! Congrats on a successful 2020! This year has been chaotic for a lot of artists trying to find their own path. What have you noticed about your growth from the start of this year to this present moment?
2020 was the year I put out music on all streaming platforms. Three years after I started making music, I didn’t believe in making fans pay. They could listen for free on the Cloud, but once the pandemic hit, I had to adjust. I needed more ears.
What has been the biggest challenge that you’ve had to overcome as an artist this year?
2020 - 2021 will be the year to make or break an upcoming artist. Platforms like SoundCloud made accommodations for artists in this crucial time.
Releasing two singles this year, do you happen to have one that resonates with you more than the other?
Every time I drop, I love it no more than the next, but if we compare the two from this year, Good Day is my go-to.. no Kizzy.
Could you please share a glimpse of what moments inspired the creation of both, “Real Life” and “Good Day”?
I was feeling a bit uneasy when they had not let Spike Lee in the building. Then I made "Real Life."
You’re currently working hard on a self-created mixtape titled “Y.O.T.R.” Could you take us into what themes and messages we can expect from this project? Growing up, I was always around hustlers, they were getting to it by any means, but these people had morals and values. It would always be family first, loyalty, and stand on what you say. Who do you look up to in the realm of music? How does their music speak into your creations?
The only time I look up to somebody when it comes to music; whenever I feel like I got to learn something, I like to use them as a template.
