What is your artist name? NFL Miguel ( NOFVCKNLOVE)

What kind of music do you make? My craft is a bit of rapping and singing, always trying to catch the hook. I’ll say my music falls under hip-hop and pop. One of my biggest influencers is Drizzy Drake, I hate to say it but it’s true. We all group up listening to at least one of his songs. I always loved the hate he would get with his ” Light Skin ” stereo type. That heart break and ” no love ” runs my whole campaign. 

How old are you and when did you start creating music? I’m 20, I was 17 when I first started. The usual cypher is what started this all, sitting in the garage listening to beats with a few friends from back in the days, writing down on my notepad. They next day I went to Walmart and bought a HP Stream and a Snowball. I just had to say that bit of info for anyone who was thinking about starting their music career, ” YOU DO NOT NEED HUGE FUNDS FOR STUDIO TIME TO BEGIN!”. Take baby steps, the world will appreciate you more. But back to the topic, what really got the fire going was back when I was living in Orlando. Again cyphering with a few friends and I would just sit and listen to them freestyle. Then I would go home find a beat a write. I always needed to take my time to write.

What are your goals when it comes to your music career? I have so many goals, don’t we all. My main goal out of all of this is to just touch some money to feed the hands that fed me at my lowest. Literally all I want is to hit that jack pot banger, handle some things back home and take the next steps to my career.

What do you want the reader to know about you and your music? So some of my songs, almost all except like 3 are life stories. Maybe not detail for detail, but I take things that happen in life and write a story with words. Sometimes it won’t even happen to me, I’ll see something happen to a girl friend I know and you know, I want other people to feel the pain. and not just pain, I want them to know they not the only ones dealing with it, like my song “Letter From Tasha”.

What is your artist name? Mello Will

What kind of music do you make? Usually, I’m making rap/hip hop music. Sometimes I get the urge to sprinkle some RnB in the mix. I’m not a singer but, I like to sing if you know what I mean lol I like to consider myself a master lyricist though so, I can flow with the best of them. I actually might be the G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time). My early influences were Eminem, Lil Wayne, Jay-z, and Bone Thugs n Harmony. I went through an Usher phase as well. His “My Way” album was something else, even though I didn’t really understand what I was singing at the time. My process is sometimes listening to a beat over and over and over until it hits me. I also like to listen to beats while I’m driving or just sitting in the car with homies. I’ve come up with some great hooks that way. Something could happen in my life that inspires me to go make a song based on a situation. Or, I could just be in the studio and come up with something in 5-10 minutes. Now that I think about it, I have multiple processes. I really just want the listener to enjoy the music for themselves and understand me at the same time. Some songs may help people get through things in life, some are for motivation, and some are just for fun for you to have a good time and blast as loud as possible in your car or at a party. 

How old are you and when did you start creating music? I’m 31 but, I started creating music in 2010 after endless freestyle sessions with the homies from 2006-2009. 

What are your goals when it comes to your music career? My main goal is to help millions of people believe that anything is possible. The larger my platform the more people I can affect. I’m using my musical talents as a gateway to spread a positive belief system across the world. Another goal is being an example to my kids and anyone else that you can do what you love to do and get paid handsomely for it. Lastly, I’m going to be financially free, meaning all of my bills/expenses Will be paid monthly from just music streams… until death do us part. 

What do you want the reader to know about you and your music? Just know that you’re getting to know the real me when you listen to my music. I create music for different occasions depending on how I’m feeling. But, it’s all authentic, quality, and lovable. God is great. Where there’s a WILL there’s a WAY! Ayeeeee

What is your artist name? SCD

What kind of music do you make? R&B/HIP HOP – SCD has a niche for video productions and an eager ability to create music with, usually, mellow and chill vibes. Last fall, Sarah (SCD) Daraja released her latest R&B single on all platforms, and now the artist returns with a new song “F My Reputation (FMR).” SCD recruits Zay Finale to assist on the track, which comes alongside her first official music video, produced and directed by her. In this song, SCD throws confident bar after bar in this surprising new rap song, spitting lyrics like “I’m too pretty fight” and “I got a little bark, I got a lotta’ drool, so even if you walking me I’m walking you.” Zay Finale catches the flow and caps it off with an unfazed verse about how he got clout without chasing it. I want to change the way artists and music are represented. Knowing that I have the ideas in my head to make the difference motivates me to keep creating. I plan to work with a lot more artists because I feel like my ideas are so different and exactly what the industry needs.

How old are you and when did you start creating music? 25 and I was 23

What are your goals when it comes to your music career? SCD’s ambition as a Producer outweighs the beef (from her newest track) and has transformed the negativity into a high-quality video project that is sure to catch a wave in the weeks to come. The usual singer/songwriter has a lot of anticipated tracks in the vault waiting to launch. What was going to be SCD’s first album will actually turn out to be a launch of her own creative visuals accompanied by vibes of rhythm and soul.

What do you want the reader to know about you and your music? I’m the female version of Childish Gambino, and I’m really good at business.

What is your artist name? Goldenchiold 

What kind of music do you make? My music is like gumbo, I make Rap, R&B, Pop, Dance Hall, & Reggaeton!!! My music process is comparable to a chef in the kitchen marinating and adding different seasonings. I start off with a one-take freestyle so that I capture the rhythm of best naturally. It’s not about the words but more so the melodies. After the melody is laid down I begin to add words to the melodies and the words have to fit perfectly. In the past, the melodies used to be mumbles but recently they are 80% actual words and about 20% mumbling. It takes a lot of practice but once mastered the records just keep coming out the oven hot and ready! 

How old are you and when did you start creating music? I grew up in the ’90s and I’m younger than Drake lol. If you consider poetry a form of music…well then I had my first poem published in ”The Chicago Children’s Book Of Poetry” in the 6th grade. And I recorded my first record my senior year in high school. So basically half my life I’ve been creating musica! Lol 

What are your goals when it comes to your music career? My goal is to live up to the name ”goldenchiold”. Which means lots of plaques, lots of top 5 billboard charting hits for myself and others as a songwriter. I want my music to be synonymous to my listener’s emotions and memories as it ages like fine wine.

What do you want the reader to know about you and your music: It’s like gumbo…it never gets old.

What is your artist name? Somberry

What kind of music do you make and produce? Electronic music. I like mixing genres and I’m working on creating my own sub genre. I like all type of music and i listen to different songs all the time with different styles so I thought what don’t I combine them all into one genre that I like and would listen to all the time. I have different elements of each genre and that’s what makes me sound unique and different from the others.

How old are you and when did you start creating/producing music? I am 21 and I was 16 when I started creating music.

What are your goals when it comes to your music career? To create my own genre, to change the whole music industry and give music producers a different meaning. I’m sick of seeing producers as ghosts, we’re not getting enough credits and I’ll make sure to change that. Without us music wouldn’t exist.

What do you want the reader to know about you and your music? I’m a passionate guy from a poor and dead country. I live in Iraq and it’s hard achieve anything here, especially when there is no electricity, but the thing about me is that I work hard on my music, I design and make my own album cover, I record and edit my own music videos, I mix and master my own songs, I literally do everything on my own independently.

I want to poke the cerebellum of the listener and provoke alternative thought processes. I want to give people something both relatable and brand new at the same time.

What do you want the reader to know about you and your music? No matter the obstacle in life , determination and proper planning will overcome them everytime. I want my audience to know that despite the ups and downs of my life , I will continue fighting for creative expression and freedom every day.

Music has been my out for the better part of 13 years, and it continues to make my soul sing every day.
