Wyatt what’s up, welcome to Nefarious Supply so to get the interview started, tell us about yourself, what got you into making music, and how has your experience as an underground artist been so far?
Hey, thank you guys for the opportunity, I appreciate it. I grew up loving to write and I was always the kid singing. I really got curious how music was made when I was about 12 years old, I recorded my first songs with some turtle beach headphones and Adobe Audition. I quickly realized making music wasn’t just pressing a button to record and I discovered audio engineering. I started working with artists in my area to get better at engineering and I began understanding the creative process more, after three years of engineering I started making and releasing my own music. I really am grateful for anybody that rocks with my music!
Where are you from, and how has this area played an influence on your sound, and overall artistry?
I was born in Atlanta, Georgia but moved to north Florida when I was four years old. Florida has opened me to a lot of unique surroundings and environments to draw inspiration from growing up here.
In addition to your location how what other artists or even important figures have had an influence on you, and how?
Beyond my family, I grew up on lots of different music. I find myself constantly inspired by lots of artists, three inspirations that come to mind are The Doors, Pink Floyd, and Kanye West because of their creativity and freedom of expression.
So when you’ve started to where you are now, what are some things you’ve learned, and how have they helped you become a better artist?
It’s been a constant learning and growing process especially as an independent artist. I’ve been making music for almost seven years now and there’s so much to learn on the business side that goes with the music, you’ve really got to learn through experience. Lots of things you won’t even think about until you get started on the journey. I believe every piece of the puzzle really makes you a better artist, just like the experiences we go through everyday. I’m constantly reminded that you’ve got to look inside yourself and find the truth in yourself, and know what you feel is what you’ve got to go with in every situation.
Alright so let’s get into your discography, 2018 you went crazy releasing 4 albums; “The Good Daze”, "Through The Clouds", "Notions", and “Happily Sad”. Give us some background on each of them, and the inspiration behind each?
“The Good Daze”, is my first body of work and it’s really a collection of the first songs I made from 2015-2017. I released all of those records as singles on SoundCloud during that time and wanted to make them available as one project which became The Good Daze. After “The Good Daze”, I released my second project, “Through the Clouds” which I wrote and recorded in early 2018. To me, it’s a trip into my mind at that time in my life. One of my favorite projects to listen to on flights. Only available on SoundCloud, Audiomack and Bandcamp! “Notions”, is me having some fun and experimenting, I made this project in the summer of 2018 and made a lot of good memories recording this one. This project gave me a lot of confidence pushing myself outside of my normal boundaries. Also, only available on SoundCloud, Audiomack and Bandcamp. “Happily Sad”, is a really special project to me, this one captures an emotion really summarizing how I felt all 2018. I feel it’s a final piece of my growth that year and one of the projects that really taught me the most during the creative process.
You also released some hot singles in 2019 including; “Slips in My Mind”, “Stuck In Traffic”, “Late Nights”,and “Another Night”. Give us some back background on these tracks as well?
“Slips in My Mind”, is really about looking inside yourself and finding the answers inside, being able to reflect and learn from the past and know how you’re going to use that to help you move forward. “Stuck in Traffic”, I’m talking about those late night drives with that special person and really just taking in the moment and appreciating that time together. “Late Nights”, is about sparking a connection that you haven’t felt in a while. “it’s been a minute since I talked with you...” “Another Night”, I’m speaking on things I see going on in the industry and around me and how I find myself dealing with them.
So as far as production you have worked with a variety of producers including Raspo, JHFLY, Donato, andmany more, How did you meet all of these producers and how is the creative process different with each producer you work with?
I’m lucky to be able to work with all of these guys, really it’s been through me reaching out to them or us just crossing paths. My creative process is very much just me in the studio, I like to bounce things off some of my closest people but other than that I just lock in and write.
In addition to producers what artists have you worked with, and who do you eventually want to work with as you grow?
I’ve done a couple collaboration projects with Jonathan Riggi and released a good amount of singles with him, as well as songs with HoustonLikeTexas, Pat Valentine and others too. Through my recording studio, I’ve been able to work and engineer for lots of different artists and I’ve learned collaboration is a great way to grow as an artist. I’d love to work with producers like illMind, Vinylz, Alchemist and artists like Russ, Action Bronson and Curren$y.
So what are some of your big goals for 2020 and where do you want to be by the end of the year?
My goal this year is to tour, I want to be booking shows and performing my music around the globe by the end of the year.
