Welcome Xay Astro! Can you start by introducing yourself to our readers and fans?
No problem, Yo what’s good people it’s ya boy Xay Astro aka Astro 3000. I’m an upcoming recording artist from Enterprise, Alabama. I’m here to be the best.
What got you started in music? What inspires you?
Well I was in show choir in high school (Shoutout Enterprise Encores 2012-2015) and I learned how to arrange music kind of and started to understand theory and everything, but I think what got me started was just seeing how music makes people feel and how it impacts us on a daily basis so I think from a young age that’s what got me started. Anything inspires me honestly but that’s what I like the most, I don’t have one thing setting the tone for how I set into my creative process it’s just I can be influenced by anything in my life or whatever is around me.
What does your writing and creative process look like, start to finish?
Uh really I just freestyle to be honest, I’ll say like 85% of my music is all just free-styled and I like it that way cause I feel like music should be very “in the moment” and the best way I feel like to capture that is pulling up spitting to the mic with that mentality of my music basically being my daily entries of where I stand or how I am feeling.
As an artist, what’s your favorite part of “F L Y”?
Ummmm I feel like that hook is untouchable, going into this song I had so much crazy shit going on I couldn’t see straight so when this song came to be it was like the best way to express how I was feeling and I also want to shout out my boys Joseph & Exavis for the beat the cook up process to this was so fun man for real. It was so quick how this happened.
Can you tell us more about the meaning behind “F L Y”?
So this song was free-styled and done in one take and after I got done recording Me & Joseph knew it was special off rip, it’s crazy cause we will look back at this song in a year and it will probably have plaques by that point hahaha. This is a vibe ahead of its time.
