King Interview

 

We caught up with King out of Fayetteville, NC to talk about his music creation during this Covid season and here's what he had to say:

Please tell us how many years have you been creating? 

I have been creating for a good while, as a hobby I have been creating content since 2001. As a professional I have been creating content for a little less than a year. I feel as if I still have much to go, and look forward to learning more about the entertainment industry as I progress. 

Tell us who are your influences? 

My biggest influences might seem a bit cliché but to be honest I grew up on a lot of Pac, Biggie, and Kid Frost. As my style of music evolved I was truly amazed by Big L's abilities, and Cypress Hill's unique rhythm. Not to mention other major Spanish influences in my life such Vicente Fernandez, Residente (Calle 13), Ramon Ayala. 

Please breakdown the creative process of your project. Also, tell us about the project artwork! 

Everyday we face oxymorons', we just don't really pay attention to them. On my most recent single "OXYMORON" i share some of the oxymoron's I have faced in my personal life. The vibe had to be a mellow, thought provoking type of mood. Its not meant to be heard when you are relaxed, and rested to capture the true essence of the music. The artwork for the single is the portrayal of the wise fool, which in my opinion is an oxymoron on its own. I felt that this was a great portrait representation of the single. 

How has your perspective changed when it comes to maintaining being indie, or is your goal to get signed one day!? 

I strongly feel that being indie has taught me very valuable lessons, extreme budgeting being one of my biggest lessons learned (lol), of course in addition to good project management in general. As an indie artist we are very limited with resources, we are constricted by our ability to afford important aspects of our entertainment careers. If I were to think of signing on to a label, I would be very specific with what I am looking for within the contract, this will obviously get me turned down more often than not, but as long as I keep knocking on doors, eventually one of them will open. 

How are you dealing with this Corona Virus epidemic right now? 

Practicing all social distancing by all means. 

Any new projects/videos you are working on!? 

I am currently finalizing new next all spanish single "Quedate", it is a love story with an interesting twisted, we can it is a twisted love story. Stay tuned. 

Where can people find you on the web? Drop all the vital links? 

I have simplified it for all of my listeners by combining all of my links in one place:
