Featured artist: Wolf P. – Why would you even try?
Below is a short interview with the upcoming underground artist Wolf P..
How did you decide to become an artist?
Wolf P.: I never decided, it’s just something you do because you’re passionate about it. It starts of as a hobby, but a week goes and you’ve spent 14 hours a day writing melodies, bars and recording them onto your recently bought Pro Tools 10. I never intended to share the songs i made, but it comes a point when the people closest to you start loving the music you produce. The day somebody i vaguely knew played my song at the club though, was the day i decided to release my music and by extension become an artist.
The day you release this, it won’t be yours any more, so make sure what you deliver.
What about concerts? Do you play live?
I have yet to do a live show, but that would be the dream.

Featured artist: J05H THOMA$ – INTO THE MIND OF THE D1FF3R3NT K1ND
Below is a short interview with the upcoming underground artist J05H THOMA$.
How did you decide to become an artist?
J05H THOMA$: I was in the military and I was ALWAYS singing. One night on Cq I was bored and wanted to do something nice for my girl.. just to make her smile cause I used to be pretty decent at poetry. Upon getting out I was trying to figure out my main long term goals and from there writing out how i was going to get there. Someone told me i should invest in music cause of how much i loved it and walk and work singing so i said it sounds good but its not me. .. That message wouldn’t leave my head. I looked up Full Sail and all so i said ok… if ima do this i have to see how well I can do WITH this first. so i started writing as best as I could. As much as I could It had to be catchy, have a nice tune, something that I wanted to hear myself more and more each day, I proved to myself if i could do it first. Within 4 months of leaving the military i had written up most of 5 books of music. No beats no recording not anything other than songs. I saw it this way. If I can prove to myself that I have the potential to become something better, and get as good as I could then.. Then when I got to where I was trying to go I wouldn’t do anything but improve. The passion for it and thinking that I can use it to change lives for the good with the work. and I can do more for my kids.My passion drove me
It depends on how bad you want it. Its not what you do itsyou do it Because the best can work with the worst. how
