We’re happy to have you back here with us Cenred! For our first time readers, do you mind introducing yourself and your background? Firstly, thanks for doing the things that you do for independent musicians - it’s tremendous , and thanks for inviting me back. I am an Australian based musician, composer and producer who has released a number of albums over the last 15 years. The album titled ‘Amplitude’ won a number of awards with a prestigious international A & R magazine including best production and best album. My music has appeared in various compilations in UK, Europe and US. I have written a vast amount of material, so I’ll  never be short!! My newest release is called ‘S.A.G.E.’, and has been getting feedback and reviews to die for. In terms of style, my music is totally unique, yet very commercial, and there is a subtle spiritual context at play behind everything I do. In fact, based on a deepening meditative experience, my whole life has been a quest to understand for myself, who and what we really are, and that is there more to us then just a physical form; and if that’s the case, then what is our true potential? Lastly, I am also a management consultant specialising in organisational change and transformation. I recently co authored  a reference book on the subject, and am currently writing an online course titled ’How to Handle Difficult People’. We took a listen to your single titled “We Can Do This” and we LOVED it. What exactly is the message behind the lyrics? It’s a motivational piece, basically saying that underneath it all we are, by and large, all the same - and that we all know that there is great power in working harmoniously together!! ‘We Can Do This’ is all about that ..  the potential of  joining  together, and making the world a better place. If you watch the video (YouTube: 'We Can Do This - Cenred’), the whole middle section shows the potential decimation of our planet. However once that middle instrumentation break has finished, we see the possibility that, in joining together, we not only can deal with the environmental issues, but we can play a part in ultimate ‘spiritualisation’ of the whole planet. Your new album “Sage” is immaculate and gives a storybook element to the music. Can you explain? That’s correct, the album is actually symbolic of a typical person’s life -  well more that of a ‘seeker’, who is looking for some semblance of meaning behind everything, the 'ups the downs’, successes,  failures, lessons learned, suffering etc. The album culminates with the seeker attaining spiritual enlightenment .. just as he/she is about to pass on to the hereafter. What was the most challenging aspect in creating this album for you and why? Apart from the effort / time involved, the most challenging aspects were:Being objective - trying to listen to the album through someone else’s ears. For example, what will listeners hear that I am missing ? .. is it too self indulgent? are the percussion instruments too dominant? how do the vocals sit in the mix ? etc.My music can be very complex, so ensuring that all of those layers etc do not mask the overall intent / ‘message’ of the song itselfLastly, I am a ridiculous perfectionist .. and aspiring for perfection is .. well .. like being on a journey that  never quite finishes !!! Have any concerts plan for the people in the US seeing you live? This is entirely dependent on how successful the album ‘S.A.G.E.’ fares. It’s a catch twenty two situation, one has to play live to promote the album, but the album has to already have been relatively successful to pull decent crowds. Nonetheless, I will be giving a series of concerts in Australia … however it is difficult to music to play live, and albeit I do have access to some of Australia’s finest musicians, it can’t be done in half measures - demands absolute production quality. What can we expect from you in the future Cenred? I have a new album in the works, it’s predominately a fantasy about an amazing intergalactic traveler called ‘Mieylo’. It’s a big job …  but hopefully will be well worth waiting for! Listen to Cenred's "We Can Do This" here, and connect more with the artist via his socials below! Facebook Twitter #BuzzMusic

Hailing from New York, singer-songwriter LIVENOAH is making waves in the music world. Known for his vigorous energy, LIVENOAH delivers countless tracks that get it right every time. LIVENOAH can produce a variety of sounds within his music, making for the perfect calming (yet energetic when you need it to be) blend. Once giving an initial listen to LIVENOAH, you'll know he isn't an artist to be missed out on. His rhythm and tune are completely in check, and we're resonating with some of the blatant messages behind LIVENOAH's music! As an artist who knows how to integrate soft, hard, alluring, yet personal elements to a song, LIVENOAH will never be questioned on his passion and willingness to elevate music with his stylings. LIVENOAH has recently released "When All Your Friends Are Bartenders" and we're seriously digging the bluesy/soul vibe that's heavily integrated within the song. LIVENOAH captures the very essence of old-school blues, and it's what made the song completely stand out to us. "When All Your Friends Are Bartenders" has such a genuine tone to it, and embodies the story of an individual that's truly struggling with themselves. It's a mellow track for sure, but the fast-paced hook is what will get your heart going in "When All Your Friends Are Bartenders". We all know that LIVENOAH is acoustic-driven with his tracks, and "When All Your Friends Are Bartenders" is no different. LIVENOAH can successfully execute the track by adding in a variety of musical elements to amplify the overall sound. We're finding ourselves getting caught up in the emotions the track projects onto its listeners, and we know this won't be the time we give LIVENOAH a listen! Discover LIVENOAH's latest track here, and continue reading for their exclusive interview! Hey LIVENOAH! Great to be presenting your latest track here on BuzzMusic! What was the production of "When All Your Friends Are Bartenders" like? Recording "When All Your Friends Are Bartenders" was a wild ride. Its the first song I ever professionally recorded so I came into the studio space as a puppy.  The song is a fast paced, jammy type of drinking song but there were some not so light moments in the studio. I came in with "first day of school" energy and excitement and thought i fully understood and communicated my role in the production process but I quickly realized my producer and I were on different pages. While I was having a blast he was getting frustrated and finally I had to call a timeout and invite him over for a beer and a conversation to figure out why it wasn't working. It was simple. He thought I hired him to fly the plane and I thought I was flying the plane. And once we realized the issue he, generously, let me have the drivers seat while staying close behind and being an incredible GPS.  The song has so much more on it than when I wrote it on my couch with my acoustic guitar and its a testament to working through a tough moment with my producer and both sharing the vision of what the song could be: a sweet summer jam. What was the integral message integrated within "When All Your Friends Are Bartenders" that you wanted listeners to really feel? I want listeners to first feel joy. The song moves.  It never slows down and only builds and builds and builds and its meant to be played loud with the windows down or hanging out with friends with a beer or hopefully from the jukebox in your hometown bar.  On your second or third listen I want the listener to pick up on the dichotomy of the lyrics.  Maybe the singer actually has a complicated relationship with the bar.  Maybe he's lonely in his small town.  Maybe he's looking for company in the wrong places. And finally...maybe he's not alone...maybe I can relate. What's your fanbase like in New York? How do you find the overall music scene where you primarily reside in New York?! The fan base here in Upstate NY is second to none. This city is essentially split between those that want singalong cover songs and those that are seeking out the local talent that are pouring their souls out on stage. I wouldn't want to be playing anywhere else at this stage in the game. How would you describe the emotions you want your listeners to feel when listening to your music? Mostly, for this single, I want my listeners to feel light and free and joyous. Its' a jam. They should have a drink close by and some friends to twirl around like the music video. I also want them to feel connected. While the music is relentlessly upbeat, the lyrics are a bit more complex. If any of my listeners feel loneliness in their lives I hope they leave this song feeling a drop more hopeful that we're all in this together. Are you planning on releasing any new singles in the near future?! YES! I am currently in the studio working on the full EP. I'm gonna let this song ride for a couple months and can confidently say the next single will be out in the next 3 months. STAY TUNED! Follow up with LIVENOAH and his music via his socials below!

When did you know you would ultimately create a life in music? When I was very young. 5 or 6 years old. How do you balance the life of a musician with the normal day to day? It's not always easy to balance anything in life. So many projects all at once. When a new song comes into my mind. It's all that I think about until it's complete. Who have been your greatest musical heroes? Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Enya and John Denver. If you had to describe your new music in only 3 words what would they be? Move Your Body How do you feel about the current modern musical landscape? I think we live in the most amazing times where we can share our gifts and talents with the whole world and find a world wide family. If you could tour the world with one artist (living or non) who would it be and why? Lady Gaga. Because I love how daring she is. She's not afraid to be and herself and her music is awesome. Please share with us one unique thing about you that most of your fans might not know. I once ran a puppet theater a few years back called the "Main Street Puppet Theater". In Payson, Utah.

When did you know you would ultimately create a life in music? It took me a while to get to that point actually. I spent my whole life wanting to be an equine veterinarian. Then l got a C in chemistry my freshman year of college and gave up that dream. I’ve been singing my whole life, but it wasn’t until I saw Florence and the Machine play at the Hollywood Bowl when I was 24 that I ever considered doing it for a career. I don’t think it had ever dawned on me as a possibility until then. How do you balance the life of a musician with the normal day to day? It’s been hard to find the balance. I spent a long time putting too much energy into making money doing other things and not putting as much attention into my music. It doesn’t help that being a massage therapist and a yoga instructor both require you to invest a lot of energy in marketing yourself. I think I was a bit afraid of music at that point. I was worried I wasn’t talented enough or that no one would want to hear what I had to say. But I finally came to a point where I realized that if I didn’t make music happen for myself no on was going to come along and do it for me! Now I’ve become much better about putting music first and doing just enough of the other stuff to keep me going. Because, honestly, there’s nothing else in the world that I’m supposed to do. Whatever form music take in my life, that’s all there is for me! Who have been your greatest musical heroes? The artists I aspire to emanate are Florence Welch and Stevie Nicks. They are witches! Powerful, forces of nature with incredible voices and messages. But, my greatest music HERO is actually a folk singer named Dar Williams. If you know her then you’re awesome. She’s definitely a cult kind of artist. She started in the 90’s and I grew up listening to her and singing her music. I really admire her for her words. She is an absolute wordsmith and lyric craftsman. And she’s also just very real, completely authentic. She makes music because she loves it. She’s never been overly famous, and her music is definitely not mainstream. But she has been a presence in my life for as long as I can remember and her music has always inspired me in everything that I do! If you had to describe your new music in only 3 words what would they be? Galvanizing, adventurous, authentic. How do you feel about the current modern musical landscape? I’m still undecided, haha! I think it’s pretty amazing in some regards because suddenly everyone can make music and get it out to the world. You can be singing in your parent's house in Connecticut and someone in China could be listening and loving it. But music today feels a bit flash in the pan. The climate has become so single driven. Making an amazing album seems less important than making a catchy single that will make a ton of money. It doesn’t matter if people remember it as long as they buy it initially. I wish there was a bit more of the vibe from the 60’s and 70’s when music was so impacted by the major events happening in the world at the time. I want to bring some of that energy back to the music scene. If you could tour the world with one artist (living or non) who would it be and why? Don’t make me choose!! Man, that’s tricky. It’s definitely a toss up between Stevie and Florence. But I’d probably lean more towards Florence. It was seeing her run barefoot around stage that made me realize this is what I’m supposed to be doing. I’d give a lot to be able to run around barefoot with her! I’m also heartbroken that I’ll never get the chance to meet and perform with Dolores O’riordan. She was something special!

Fox Violet blends ambient dreamscapes with dark pop-rock hooks and soulful vocals. Her song focus on heartbreak and longing. With soaring layered psychedelic guitars and crunchy synths Fox Violet crafts bold stories that are both ethereal, relatable and honest. Gritty, raw, and voicing the underdog, Fox Violet songs are written from otherworldly perspectives that are haunting but familiar. They seek to challenge the status quo, time and again and have the force that only life experience can give, gained from living, breaking and putting yourself together again. “Freak” loops out like this entrancing, intensifying wash of noise and color. It’s as industrially gritty as it is melodically entrancing. Bringing together organic and electronic elements like chaotic synths and a mechanical rhythm section, “Freak” grows from lightly uplifting to heavy and immersive within a few short minutes. All the while we can find nothing to compare it to. The soundscape leaves the listener in constant anticipation while honing in on Fox Violet’s ethereal vocals and mesmerizing tones. As the experience progresses, if you’re listening at volume, the moment envelops you entirely. Feeling partly like the depths of some strangely enjoyable nightmare, and yet it’s nothing like you might expect. We can’t wait to hear more from Fox Violet! Listen to “Freak” here and keep scrolling for our exclusive interview with Fox Violet! Hey Fox Violet! How did you all get started making music? How old were you? Thea: I started singing/performing at age 12 and song writing 10 years ago. Phoebe: I started playing violin at 3 yrs old (mom was my teacher) and singing and performing in plays not long after. It’s been a lifetime, but only realized creating music was my path/passion about 6 years ago. Yoga: Age 14, in the Fox Violet crew we are pretty fresh, but so far the chemistry is great in the band. Max: I've been singing in choruses and choirs since before I can remember, but picked up a bass and really fell in love with music when I was 13.Tito: I started playing guitar after watching AC/DC live when I was 12. Melanie: I was around 14. "Freak” is a great song, beautifully written and performed. What does the song represent for you all, and what do you hope people take away from it? Thea/Phoebe: Freak is written from the perspective of a girl who feels like she isn't 'good' enough to be 'saved' (it is not religious but rather it is unpacking that notion of why we want to be saved) because of self hate/self sabotage and the impact that has on a person's psyche. It's really an anthem for the underdog, the person who feels they don't fit in, belong, to say none of us do, and it's ok to be on the outskirts. It's a current theme running through Fox Violet. Yoga: For me it represents the weirdo inside me and some sort of conflict with it. What other artists would you compare your genre and sound to? Why? Thea: Massively inspired by Radiohead, Phantogram, Lana Del Rey, Portishead, Daughter, NIN and Phillip Glass. I would say the music is visceral, raw and visual. We are story tellers first and foremost and want to encapsulate an alternate reality that is not afraid to be dark and real.  Phoebe: The Cranberries meets Radiohead with a little touch of folk... very melodic, atmospheric, lyric-driven, cinematic, dark but colorful and layered Yoga:  I feel it’s unique in its own way, but it defiantly has a flavor of Radiohead, NiN and grunge era music. Max: I would compare FV dark ambient sound to Deftones/Radiohead and I try to lend tones influenced by Justin Chancellor of Tool.Tito: I like to think guitar wise I'm somewhere between Incubus, Bob Marley and Johnny winter. Melanie: Cranberries, Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead. What are your main aspirations as an artist going forward? Thea/Phoebe: We wanna do it all, tour, develop a live show that keeps people talking and feeling long after it’s over, record record record and write. Thea: Oh and have lots of fun. Yoga: To feel good and proud of art form we are making for the people. Max: To create and perform as much as possible. Melanie: To constantly be on tour. Tito: The full band process, write, record, tour, repeat. Connect with Fox Violet on social media: www.instagram.com/fox_violets www.facebook.com/foxviolet www.foxviolet.com #BuzzMusic

Welcome back to Buzzmusic Elshay! We’re happy to have you here with us. How have things been for you? What would you consider the most monumental moment in your career so far recently? I would say releasing my first body of work has been the biggest step for me so far in my career. As it gives people an idea of the type of artist I am. And it feels good to have officially introduced myself to the world Tell us about your debut EP, “ELSHAY - THE EP”. We heard a significant amount of good vibes from this project. How was it developing this EP? Did you face any challenges? Originally I began writing the first two tracks for other artists however the more I began to write I realised I was developing a sound and felt quite attached to the songs i was creating. When I then decided that this was going to be a project for me I just had fun with it and took the restraints off of my creativity Which song off “Elshay - The EP” are you most excited for your listeners to hear and why? I am excited to hear peoples reaction to ‘Flesh N Blood’ as I feel this is the most experimental track on the project and also a sound I would like to explore more in the future. Let’s talk about the songwriting behind your song “Flesh N Blood”. How would you detail it? The lyrics in ‘Flesh and Blood’ are quite interesting because they Are completely open to interpretation. I wanted a song that describes love and lust in an artistic way and I wanted to use sentences and words to trigger emotional reactions within the listener. Do you sometimes surprise yourself as an artist? I spent so many years struggling with my artistic identity that I’m trying now, to not overthink things when it comes to creating and to trust myself when choosing material for my projects. To be honest the most surprising thing is to hear people’s opinions on my music an who they think I should be as an artist. What’s next for you Elshay? I have really enjoyed the process of this whole EP and the reaction, so far, has been incredible. I’m really spurred on to just keep releasing and connecting with my audience, so look out for more music this year. Listen to Elshay's brand new single, ‘Flesh N Blood’ here!

Welcome back to BuzzMusicLA James Doe! How has the journey been for you so far? What would you consider the toughest part to maneuvering around the music industry? Thanks for having me. It’s been dope. Just been making moves and doing a few shows tryna get the brand out there so it’s been a great experience. The toughest part is knowing who’s legit and who isn’t. Everybody say they can help, and everybody got a price but most people just look out for them contrary to helping the artists grow. But once you get a good understanding on what red flags to look for, it gets easier. Including your brother, who else would you consider major inspirations for your love of music? Shout out my bro tho!! Nipsey, Tory lanez, Eric Berlinger, Drake, Snoop, Glasses Malone, Easy E, Kanye, Young Dolph, KeyGlock, g Herbo, Comethazine, Sade, Bryson Tiller, Ross, IDK, Tank (don’t judge). As an artist yourself, what’s your opinion on the current market of hip-hop and R&B and where do you feel like you fit in? Current state of hip hop is exciting. People still finding new ways to express themselves that’s not traditionally what we’re used to hearing. Like mumble rap. Don’t knock the young bulls for doing them, not everybody wanna rap with the same tempo or timbre you know? Rnb is in a good place. Especially with Afro soul making a STRONG COMEBACK. I think I don’t fit in and that’s what my aim was. If you fit in, you’ll never stand out. I can go from “lemme seranade you my Nubian Queen” to “ get in the car loser..we going trappin” so I can really be placed amongst any genre and hold my own.....except reggaeton.... listen.....my Spanish stops at “ hola” Tell us about your song “Hunnit”. What was the vision you had for this record and how were you able to ensure you executed this theme? Hunnit was made with all of my fake friends in mind and I know that’s a topic everybody has had experience in. People who say they are real and will ride for you until it’s time and they switch up. Either keep a 𝐇𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐭 or keep away from me. How was I able to ensure I executed the theme of fake friends? I called em as got reminded of why they blockT. Were there any specific arrangements you were aiming for while making “Hunnit”? Just make a catchy hook that was relatable, make sure the beat kept people locked in (thank 81Skinny) and just keep it real. What’s next for you James Doe? Dropping my rap project “Got Doe?” At the end of September, I’m shooting the music video this weekend with the talented Magnificine that will accompany it. We aiming to have the project complete and out by the last day of September. Then I’m dropping “still got doe” which is the RNB version and will have my homegirl Nina Blue featuring because you know I can sing...but that girl can SAAAAAANG.

Hailing from Toronto, Canada, Julian Daniel is a talented pop singer/songwriter making his name known. Growing up in a musical household and being involved in activities such as musical theatre, vocal lessons and dance he has always been one to be involved in the creative arts. After finishing high school, Julian then decided to dedicate his time to his music and transform it from a hobby to a career. Julian Daniel has been able to create his image and sound that is unlike any other current pop musician. Everything fans and listeners see is 100% authentic and creatively controlled by Julian himself. The first few moments of “Lemon Tree” are simply a delicate, dreamlike ambiance. Then you get the piano coming through, a light beat, and a sense of rising energy. Finally, the leading voice and the full beat smash onto the scene. The beat is bouncing, fast-paced but sporadic and the soundscape has been built creatively around the entire journey. In contrast with the weight of Julian vocals, Veronica enters with her voice that is fairly gentle, the contrast is mesmerizing. The sound is mildly electronic, but not to the point that the natural emotion of the performance is lost. “Lemon Tree” is a deeply thoughtful song but one that takes determination and realness to heart and presents both brightly and vibrantly. The lyrics are beautiful, partly poetic and cleverly metaphorical, partly intimate and personal on a very honest level. Absolutely worth a listen, stay tuned for more from Julian Daniel. Check out “Lemon Tree” here and read more with the artist in our exclusive interview! Hey Julian! Was this your first collaboration with Veronica? Her voice is beautiful! Can we expect more in the future? Working with Veronica was the most natural process. We were both in the same mindset and the song was written in one session. I would ALWAYS say yes to working with her again! What does your new song “Lemon Tree” represent for you? What do you hope your fans take away from? Lemontree is song that was written from a concept of being “forever young”. I hope my fans can relate to this song in whatever way that can take them back to a summer memory. Your sound and style is very unique! Who or what inspires you to continue making music everyday? I have always liked and looked up to artists who were a little “out of the box”. I knew I always wanted to create music that was unique and had a different sound. Getting messages from fans and seeing them listening and relating to my music is the main thing that keeps me going. How important is vulnerability in your songwriting? Are you ever worried you’ll give away too much or is it better to stay transparent in writing? When writing new music, I always want to show the real me. As nerve wrecking as it may be to be fully transparent when I’m writing music, it’s better that my fans fully see me on an authentic level. What can you tell us about your upcoming EP? Do you have an official release date we can mark on our calendars!? This EP has taken every ounce of creativity, emotion, and thought out of my head over the past few months, I’m so excited for everyone to listen!  We’re in the final stages of putting everything together, and I want to make sure it’s perfect before it’s released. Check me out on all social media platforms to stay up to date with all the E-BOY tea! Connect with Julian Daniel on social media: INSTAGRAM FACEBOOK TWITTER #BuzzMusic

Welcome to BuzzMusic Jay Trip! "GASSIN UP 2" has many layers and different concepts. What’s the overall theme you were trying to achieve with this record? I also have the original record “GASSED UP” which displays a raw sound that’s different with a bouncy beat. “GASSIN UP 2” reloads the track itself with more bass and higher tempo. I overall just wanted to bring a record up to par with the original so when you listen to both tracks you get an even better feel. What do you hope your listeners take away from "GASSIN UP 2"? I hope my listeners see the range of how “GASSIN UP 2” differs from “GASSED UP” and how also the track brings a little more to the table as in how the track overall switches up the sound. What sets you apart from other hip-hop artists in today’s music scene? What sets me apart is that I don’t see myself doing certain things for “clout” or attention, my sound honesty can’t compare or is not like any other artist. Every record I bring something different rather it’s the flow, the style, the beat, or the melody. I just see myself as my own artist. We love the heavy beat in “GASSIN UP 2”, who produces your tracks? Shout out Sluzzy! I discovered his beat from YouTube. That wasn’t even the original beat. The original beat it was good, but I wasn’t hitting harder or as hard as the  “GASSED UP” beat and I knew that I needed something else that’s gonna stand out more. So when I came across the beat I knew this was the right one. If you had to pick just one song in your collection to adequately describe your sound, which song would you choose and why? If I had to choose it would be between my two songs “GASSED UP” and “ONE TIME”. Both tracks portray two different sounds, but that just shows my versatility and how I can easily switch and aim for different feelings and vibes. I’m not yet at my peak but to be recently taking music more seriously, I think I’m doing a great job so far putting out different types of music for everyone to hear. What do you hope to achieve as a hip-hop artist through the end of 2019? I hope to constantly keep growing as an artist and keep the motivation to put my all into my music because this is just the beginning for me. I started taking music serious towards the beginning of this year and I’m slowly accomplishing more and more. I just hope I can keep thriving for my family and myself so I can be put in a different position in my life and to separate me from everyone who said I couldn’t do it.

Talented rapper and producer Lossed is from Albuquerque, NM. With 4 impressive albums under his belt at only 20 years old, songwriting and creating relevant content is in Lossed’s DNA. His latest track titled “Trippin'" Lossed’s flow is undeniably good, and his voice serves as the perfect catalyst for the message of “Trippin'”. Lyrically, “Trippin'” is confident and empowering while musically, the song hits just as hard as any other contemporary hip-hop release of late. Lossed is a writer and producer who has meticulously crafted a song that, although it contains a forward-looking message, still comes off as incredibly real and raw. “Trippin'” shows us that true talent and confidence don’t have to be these soft, tender things that are only talked about in more approachable pop tunes, but that they can serve an integral purpose in hip-hop as well. Equipped with flawless flow and smooth vocal style everything within “Trippin'”, including production, are on point. A job well done from Lossed, we can’t wait to hear more! Check out “Trippin'” here and read more with Lossed below! Welcome to BuzzMusic! What do you hope your listeners take away from "Trippin'”? Thank you for having me BuzzMusic! All my life I’ve made lofi, ambient, chill type music and with Trippin’ I want to make the world of hiphop know that I can make a turnt song as well as soft and meaningful. Can you tell us more about the meaning behind the lyrics in “Trippin'”? Trippin’ has a basic meaning and that is that people will starting hating when other people who put the work in start to get famous and getting there deserved accolades. Trippin’ means to keep killing the game even when others are hating. If you had to pick just one song in your collection to adequately describe your sound, which song would you choose and why? There are a few other songs on the new album to represent me but the song “Myself” is a great depiction of my mentality as an artist and a person. It also serves as a positive message to those who need some motivation in their lives. What do you think sets you apart from mainstream music today? I want to make clear to the rest of HipHop/Trap is that the positivity/braggadocios/chill/hype/depressed vibes are all mine and they can be seen in my new album and my old ones. I am a real person and I want to relate to my fans and provide friendship to them as well as a good music. What do you hope to achieve as a hip-hop artist through the end of 2019? I hope to achieve some type of growth in my amount of people I can reach through my music. I do look at numbers when it comes to music but also who I can impact in a positive way, and make friends as I go. I’m here to stay in the long run and have fun.
