[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]One of my first toys as a kid was a toy mic. I always loved to dance when the music started playing, always loved to sing along to the words. I would sit down in front of my parent\u2019s cassette player and rewind the songs until I memorized the lyrics in full. The first song I memorized was \u201cMy Girl\u201d by Temptations.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]At this moment, Rude, to me, means having unapologetic confidence in the authentic self. For example, I had to tell a guy I was seeing in recent times after he asked me why I always get looked at, \u201cwell, I\u2019m a bad B****, and that\u2019s something you just have to deal with.” I walk with confidence, and that\u2019s not about looks![\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]My upbringing taught me how to appreciate real values in people and experiences rather than just materialistic things that are temporary. Having an understanding of that is really important\u00a0 because it also helps me to stay focused and keep my eyes on the end goal.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]The creative process for my single \u201cZaza\u201d was very quick and smooth. I completed the writing of the song in about 30 minutes. I came across the beat online, it was produced by rubyrafsimmons. As soon as I heard it, it drew inspiration through feeling. The euphoric sounds brought back a feeling of being cross-faded. The vocal samples gave me a sensual\/romantic feeling. The combination of the two vibes channeled memories of moments where I was out catching a vibe, missing a guy, or thinking of him. Usually, when I am inspired by the beat I know the song is going to be good because it fully resonates with me. I can come up with something real without effort.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]No, not at all. Creating music is my way of coming to terms with these experiences. It\u2019s the form of expression that I resonate with most. It helps with closure to any emotions I might still have pent up inside of me.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Yes. As I grow and find myself as an individual, my sound is also evolving. I actually began my music career with singing, it’s always been a part of my life. I feel as though, with the last two and these next singles, that I\u2019m just channeling back an evolved version of the sound that I originally started with. Sometimes you try different things and then realize in time that it’s better to stick to what you know best.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Thank you. It definitely just came naturally to me. When I\u2019m in the studio I like to have fun and try different things in my creative process. If it sticks it sticks and becomes a part of my cadence\/sound.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]I\u2019ve never doubted myself, just distractions. When I lose focus, I definitely feel a bit disappointed in myself, but there has never been any doubt. I am confident in my potential.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Be confident in what you want. Build a team of solid people who you trust. Be authentic and genuine, and the right people will come to you to help you achieve your goals.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]That project was made at a time where I was still finding my sound. Also, I wasn\u2019t really sure what I was doing in terms of music and wasn\u2019t serious about it. Once I became serious, I wanted a fresh slate to build from.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Meaning consistency and persistence.\u00a0 I will be dropping music every 4-6 weeks as well as starting my Youtube channel and other visual content. You will definitely be seeing a lot more of my name![\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
