What is your artist name? #CTGenius
What kind of music do you make? I’m the creator of All Year Summer. It’s an experience. It’s for TRENDSETTERS, MUSIC LOVERS, and people TRUE to THEMSELVES. If you DON’T want to listen to the same shit over and over and over from artists that look the same and talk a bunch of stupid shit, lol, my music is for you.My beats have drums that crunch. Usually some staccato drums or some kind of complex flavor in the drum section. I like bass. And some sort of cool ass melody. Futuristic or really catchy. My raps/ singing takes you on a journey. It’s gonna be witty. A LOT of wordplay. And never on some non-sense. I’m influenced by classic trendsetters: Jerry Lee Lewis, Roger Troutman, and every rapper with a unique rhyme cadence. To make a song I play the beat and record rhymes. Usually a story begins to form, or an idea, or a catchy chorus. I think “how does this relate to my life?” or “how can I spin this and create something great?”. I make it up right there in my head and I record as I “write”. You should here a unique perspective when you listen to my music. Unique way of looking at life that’s probably more practical and makes more sense than what the world currently accepts. I’m usually like why are you doing things the same way we BEEN doing them, when it doesn’t make sense any more. Or I’m highlighting what I do and who I am. I want to present something new and TRENDSETTING with every verse, song and beat choice.
How old are you and when did you start creating music? I’m 39 and I started rhyming probably before I can remember. As an adult I found some rhymes in a closet and I don’t remember writing them. I just used to always rhyme to myself in the shower. I originally wanted to be a DJ. When I never got DJ equipment for Christmas, I migrated towards rapping. It became official when I signed a production deal at age 15 with a local producer. Ever since then I been recording and releasing music to the public.
What are your goals when it comes to your music career? I’ll be widely recognized and appreciated as the greatest rapper of all time in less than ten years. My fans will be at my shows screaming my lyrics fom the heart. It’s gonna feel so good. I’ll serve my audience by entertaining them and helping them feel a sense of pride in themselves. My music will sell and stream in the trillions of units. Every country in the world will have #CTGenius music listeners. My audience will number in the billions.
What do you want the reader to know about you and your music? I’m true to myself and I believe in myself. I stand for integrity and positive vibes. I’m a trendsetter. I’m the answer to the problems in music and the world today. They all making fake deep, emo shit… I got club bangers.
