Q:

What cultures and experiences cultivate this persona or identity of yours? 

A:

I was born and raised in New Jersey, so I find myself getting involved with a lot of street culture and aesthetics. Cities like Toronto and New York have definitely molded me into the person I am now.

Experiencing the music scene, primarily in those two cities, has influenced me into serving my purpose in the music industry and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.

Q:

What keeps your current audience listening and why should people start listening? What platform can people reach your content on the most conveniently? 

A:

I believe the reason why people listen to my music is because it’s something they’re not hearing everyday.

No disrespect to the genres but I believe Trap and EDM are becoming a little over saturated in today’s society to where it’s a bit repetitive. So when people give my music a chance, they realize it’s something their ears aren’t used to.

My plan is to show people versatility in my music from all music genres in which I hope more people will start listening. As a producer, I do not want a signature sound, I want to remain exclusive.

I want to be known as a creator.

When people think about producers, they look at them as a minority to the game. My purpose is to bring recognition to the minority and show you do not have to be a vocalist to be an artist. People who have an open mind about music always love finding new music and artists that are evolving on a daily basis which should secure the correct fan base.

I strive to make sure my audience has access to everything they have interest in whether it’s my music, merchandise, or information about me or my team. That being said, my music can be found on all platforms available for purchase and streaming.

Q:

What albums and songs do you already have out that people should listen to? 

A:

I do not have an album out yet. It will be a while before I have an official album out but I have 4 singles that are out on all platforms and there is an EP in the works at this time.

I should hopefully have the project ready by the end of this year or beginning of next.

Q;

How has your experience in the industry been thus far? 

A:

I’m not by far that much experienced into the industry but I can definitely say it’s been a great one.

It’s been a short, yet lengthy journey so far and I’ve made new friends and met new individuals who are interested in my team and I, and who are willing to help people know about us. It’s definitely an experience when you have quite a few people genuinely like the content that my team and I have made. You start realizing you serve a purpose to their entertainment and it makes you wanna go even harder than before each time.

It’s also crazy to see the people who come out and support.

These are important times where you start separating the real from the fake. You definitely learn some wisdom getting involved in this atmosphere.

Q:

Do you have an outstanding moment since you got into the music industry that makes you realize how important it is to make music like this? If so what would that be ?

A:

Definitely receiving recognition from real fans, music promoting pages, and being recognized by key individuals in the industry has supplied me with outstanding moments, in my opinion.

It has showed me my imprint on music and has given me a reason to continue to experiment and create.

One person specifically, an artist by the name of K. Forest, has given me his time and recognized my value to industry. He is a staple to the game, especially in Toronto music right now and deserves more recognition. He is truly underrated.

Q:

Is there any one song that you’ve made that stands out from the rest? Any songs that people should listen to that will get people hooked? 

A:

My second single titled “Safe” is probably my favorite produced track.

It is my most played track at the moment. With that track, I had a specific message and image I hoped to execute and it did perfectly. Having Apollo1027 surround his vocals on that track is one thing I know the audience felt and is probably the reason why people want to keep playing it.

It started strong and ended strong in my opinion.

Q:

Walk us through the steps you take to create a track. What is your creative process? Do you happen to just walk into the studio and throw some beats on until one sticks? Or is there a more delicate process involved? 

A:

I listen to a lot of different music everyday so I always have inspiration and sometimes reference tracks to help my creative drive. I make sure to work almost everyday because I’ll have days where I make something really good off the top or days if I want to focus on a project and deliver it in a specific way.

I believe you should never let a day go by without a piece of creativity distributed.

You never know if you’ll make a hit that day.

That’s what happened to the track “Safe”. I had a lot of other alternative beats but I felt the one I chose now was the best.

Q:

Where do you think you would be at this very moment if you weren't pursuing your career in music? 

A:

Honestly probably in school with more student loan debt. Not saying that’s a bad thing but I’m more free in the position I have now. After high school I almost considered military but I knew in my heart and soul I’m on this world to serve a different purpose. And I’m glad I’ve made that decision.

No regrets honestly. I’m very thankful.

Q:

Lastly, what advice or experiences would you like to share with your peers or anyone else who is up and coming in this industry? 

A:

Do not be afraid to be social.

You need to be comfortable with making relationships with the people in this industry because they’re all useful tools help you grow as an artist. Being social helps you recognize who to stay away from and who you NEED to work with because there are a lot of fakes.

A lot more than usual.

You start realizing they’re doing this for the wrong reason. But you making the image to stand out will serve your purpose as an important individual to look out for.

Remember to be yourself as people will notice that and don’t be afraid to experiment. You need that to grow as an artist. Keep up with the evolution of music and go back and listen to some classics.

All pieces of music are just as important, no matter how old or new.

Q:

Also, is there anything you'd like for us to promote?

A:

Any of my singles will do ! Primarily my singles “Can’t Get Enough” or “Safe”. Be sure to check the rest of my team out. David Sulky, Apollo1027, and C3.

This is RX.

People will know about us sooner or later.
