| Interview: Slim Beezy |
| |
|
| |
|
What got you started in this business?
|
| |
|
I was just chilling in my room, listening to instrumentals. As I started to perfect my craft, I did
get more serious as time went on.
|
| |
|
Who writes and produces all of your material?
|
| |
|
I write all of my own material, but when I use an R&B artist on my hooks, I usually let them do
their thing to shine. I do a lot of my own production also, but I do reach out to other producers
to get a more diverse sound.
|
| |
|
Have you played in front of or with any acts our readers would
know from the mainstream?
|
| |
|
I have opened up for Tyrese, Lyfe, and Boyz in the Hood.
|
| |
|
Where can people access your music on the web?
|
| |
|
I have made a major impact on the web and made my music available just about any site possible to
download music, inclining iTunes, Amazon, Napster, and also my website, www.slimbeezy.com.
|
| |
|
Any embarrassing moments on stage?
|
| |
|
Yea, I've rehearsed a song numerous times and no hick ups and turn around and done a show and
forgot the words to the song.
|
| |
|
Any good stories you want to tell us?
|
| |
|
With this "808 Luv" single, I took my time with it plus I released a video for it and all and took
the right steps this time for promoting and I actually landed a lot of interviews and shows from
just taking my time with it.
|
| |
|
Who are the band's musical influences?
|
| |
|
My musical influences I'd say are 2Pac, Pimp C, and Z-Ro.
|
| |
|
What is your musical background like?
|
| |
|
I sang in the youth choir in church and learned to play keyboard by ear. I wish I did take lessons
in piano and singing. Even though I rap, being able to sing or harmonize, adds more swag to your
material.
|
| |
|
Any other members in your family that are musicians?
|
| |
|
Yea all of brothers do music also and most of my cousins have their hand in music and some way.
|
| |
|
What is the top reason why you want to play music?
|
| |
|
To have the ability to have a gift that touches people in a positive way. I also enjoy walking up
in Wal-Mart and random people come up to you singing a song you put out.
|
| |
|
What has been your best show?
|
| |
|
Was at a local club I did, and the crowd was singing the song and doing some of the hand gestures
I did in the video when the hook came on.
