Welcome back to BuzzMusic, Young Cisto, and congratulations on a successful year. Through the chaos of 2020, how have you found yourself growing as an artist?
Thanks, BuzzMusic! This year has been very different and chaotic for a lot of artists, I have personally been focusing more on my craft this year than ever. We got so much “free time”(from work) so I decided to take a singing class, learn more bout mixing & mastering, and further develop my dance moves. I am getting ready for 2021 and possible upcoming shows & concerts.
How has your creative process developed through the course of the year?
I have been really pushing myself this year. I wanted to be productive and don`t let this free time go to waste. I issued a challenge to myself & friends called the 100dayschallenge. The challenge consists of recording 100 new songs in 100 days plus some extra grueling physical activity. I uploaded the whole journey here. I also explored new platforms like tik tok & thriller.
Could you please take us into the creative process of, “Afrika Sauce?” What were the vibes like when making a melody so captivating?
It was a Friday night and I was in the studio vibing, I had two friends that came over and one just started playing some Burna boy & Wizkid music. I guess after all the chit chat and music I got inspired: by the end of the night I had the song figured out. I freestyle a lot so the hook came to me naturally and the day after I sat down and wrote the verses for the track. I immediately felt this song had potential and worked on it for several months before release.
What are some ways that you were able to remain inspired in 2020?
The 100dayschallenge kept me inspired and forced me to keep it moving.
I also read this book by Robert Green named “Mastery” which pushed me to keep going and staying creative.
What themes and messages would you like your listeners to take away from the music that you create?
My main objective is to inspire and entertain with my music. My themes are kind of philosophical(life, unknown, relationships, decisions, etc..) at the same time I do have a couple of song which is just fun, dancing style with no particular message behind it which are more focused on creating a vibe & atmosphere.
How do your musical influences speak into the music that you create?
It come in different ways, I have influences from gospel music to heavy gangsta rap. I listen to everything and do not hold myself to one particular genre. That`s why I also make very diversified music from trap to Afro, to country I hold myself mainly to rap and bring in other genres but I am not afraid to try something new and always love to experiment.
What can we expect from you in 2021 in terms of projects and releases?
In 2021 I will be releasing more Afro-trap music and a Japanese-anime Ep called “Konoha”. I will also be releasing more visuals than ever, you guys should stay tuned cuz it`s gonna be a bang.
