Tay Willz- Up and coming versatile artist from Brooklyn New York

INTERVIEWS

Where are you from, and how has your background influence your music?

I was born and raised in East New York. Growing up music has always been around me. My mother is a Puerto Rican women and I had a plus dad who was also Caribbean so music was a big thing in both cultures. I remember my mother use to blast loud music all the time and we would dance to it. My father was a Dj so he use to set his equipment up a lot and mix music. In East New York we use to have alot of block parties with loud music and everyone dancing. Listening to Lil Wayne, Beyoncé and Tory Lanez helped me to express myself within music

What got you into music ?

My brother was the biggest reason why I got into music. I always loved music. Seeing his passion for music made me interested in writing my own music. As kids him and I would find beats on YouTube and make childish songs to them. It was so funny because I use to go so hard behind our little songs. We use to record ourselves on my iPad mini and after showed my mother what we was doing. My brother encouraged me to go to the studio and I didn’t take it serious until I listen to the song after the studio session was almost over and was shocked how good I sound from there I built my voice and flow where I wanted the whole world to hear me.

What inspires you as an artist??

What inspires me as an artist is being able to share my ideas with an engineer/producer and they bring my ideas to life through music. Also being able to tell stories that many people can relate to through my music. Also when I perform the crowd reaction it gives me a thrill to make more music. Many people don’t like speaking on their feelings and showing emotion.

Get to know music artist BluLyon

INTERVIEWS

Where are you from, and how has your background influenced your music?

I am a New York born music creator with deep Caribbean roots. My family hails from Trinidad, so there was always a lot of Soca music playing around the house and at family gatherings. However, dancehall music was also always in the background, and over time, it became more appealing to me. Especially when you come across some artists you can really relate to or who just seem incredibly cool. Icons like Bounty Killer, Super Cat, Ninja Man, and others have some powerful characteristics that are hard to ignore. It is difficult to look at them, hear them, and not be impressed by their presence and the impact they have on the music scene.

What got you into music?

Music just might be in Blu Lyon’s DNA. The family has successful musicians in it so it may be as simple as that. My old man, Super Blue and two older sisters, Fayann and Terri Lyons are all Soca music stars, shining brightly in their own right. There was also just a love for the consumption of music that led to the discovery of the talent to create it.  It is just dancehall instead of Soca for me. I can express a wider range of emotions and topics with it.

What inspires you as an artist?

Everyday human interactions are the biggest influence on Blu Lyon’s music. The way people behave and interact with each other is truly fascinating, encompassing everything from its positive to its negative forms. You are going to see and hear some crazy stuff throughout your lifetime. If you pay close attention and are creative enough, you will never run out of topics to explore.

Get to know Jay Dinero

INTERVIEWS

Where are you from, and how has your background influenced your music?

I was born in the Bronx NY the home of Hip-Hop. Since I was young music always been a big part of our culture and I grew to study and was influenced by the great MC’s such as (Tupac, Biggie, Nas, 50 cent) throughout the history of New York. Also The Newer generation such as (A boogie, lil durk, lil baby).

What got you into music?

Growing up I was always into music I remember my father always buying instruments and bringing them home. I grew up playing the drums and piano then eventually I started rapping. At first it was just random freestyles with friends then I started posting videos online on Facebook & social media. My earliest musical memories is 2016 I wrote a freestyle to Jay Z and Mya “The Best Of Me” and it went viral on Facebook that’s what made me start writin and going crazy with the music

What inspires you as an artist?

What inspires me as an artist is just studying the greats learning new strategies in not only the music but also as a profession. I get inspired by other artists all the time in studio also we all learn from each other and inspire each other in some sort of ways. What inspires me the most part about being a musician is that I’m very creative when it comes to different types of beats, and I write my own music. If my audience look tired or bored during my performance. I’ll engage with them but No matter what I will still put my 100% all into my performance. If I made a mistake during my performance I would continue to perform my song like I didn’t make a mistake. I would describe the music I create rap melodic but I can create other genres of music.

Author Dwayne “Cooli Hi” Jones “Almost Famous”

INTERVIEWS

We all are the sum of our choices. This book details my choices as well as the hand I was dealt to begin with. Since a small child I always had dreams of being famous through the channels of music but as we all know, you have a better chance finding a needle in a haystack than to make it big in the music business! Growing up in Baltimore City is a challenge all by itself and adding a damn near impossible dream to the mix, makes the challenge even greater. This is the story of how a young inner city kid willed his way from the hood to being featured on Sisqo’s (from Dru Hill) platinum selling single (Can I Live- Produced by: Teddy Riley) a two million dollar record deal with RCA and touring all over the world with notable artists such as The Backstreet Boys, Destiny’s Child, Nelly and many more! There’s no road map to superstardom so the path was unpredictable and a lot of times chaotic but the mission was accomplished. Or was it? Loyalty, betrayal, kidnapping & questionable murder mixed with bright lights, money, women, personal relationships, sacrifices, failure & success all are pertinent ingredients in the pot of gumbo I refer to as my life. This is the ugly truth of how I almost became famous.
