Story

FIRST OF ALL, CHECK OUT MY MIXTAPE 'OVER DE THT' UNDER 'SONGS' Went from being bassist in a metal band, while learning to use Fruityloops 3 making rave-techno music, to producing trance, forward to hiphop. Stayed with hiphop. Stayed with the FLStudio Franchise. Own the complete package legally. Bought a MIDI-keyboard. After that a Maschine MK2. After that, upgraded to Scarlett 2i4 soundcard with KRK Rokit6. Bought a new home, now i have my own studio-room with basstraps and other audio-isolation. Next step; upgrade the modern barn to a full fledged recording studio. So yeah, I always need money, because recording studio's and equipment don't come cheap.

What is music to you? What does it give you?

Music is my other world, the escape of reality and enhancer of my mood.

What is your music dream?

To own my own recording studio, make beats and have rappers visit me on site. And that dream will become a reality. Purchased a new house with a separate modern wooden barn which will be converted to a studio within a year or 2.

If you could change the world - what would you start with?

Set a limit to the amount of wealth one could own.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Dr. Dre - Still Dre (oooh the cliché) System of a Down - P.L.U.C.K. System of a Down - ATWA Busta Rhymes - Woohaa

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Snoop Dogg (the old shizzle, before he met the Neptunes)

What inspires you to make music?

Could be anything. Mostly it's just a feeling that arises and I've got to act

What is the message you want to send with your music?

Suky Suky 5 dollah will give you STD's otherwise; just have fun

How do you feel when you perform in front of an audience?

nervous I used to play bass in a metal band, love to rehearse, hated to perform.

How do you see the musicians’ reality nowadays? What could be improved?

Do not sell yourself to big record companies. Indie artists are now making millions of dollars just by using social media.

What do you think of Drooble?

Kinda new to it. Not much to say at this point.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Regular work.

Do you support your local scene as a fan? How?

Nope. Haven't got the time. Busy making music, working, and uuhm, what else. O yeah. Also got a girlfriend. Gotta keep her happy too ;P

What qualities should a musician nowadays have in order to get their music heard by a larger audience?

Social media charisma

Share some awesome artists that we’ve never heard of.

I'm a fan of the work of Greydon Square. Intelligent lyrics, makes his own beats. Gotta check that guy out. Don't know if he still makes music though. Also, check 'Wat Aans', a Dutch rap duo rapping in local accent.
