Interview: Wesson
 
 
What got you started in this business?
 
I've been rhyming since 12 years old, and only started recording songs for the last couple of years. Basically, I wanted to continue with my studies in school and work toward my passion a little more aggresively.
 
Who writes and produces your material?
 
I write all the lyrics in my content, but my 34th team may sometimes come together as a group and collectively bounce ideas for certain tracks we want to put out, such as ideas for choruses, et cetera.
 
Have you played in front of or with any acts our readers would know from the mainstream?
 
At the moment, no. We're looking to book a few shows once the mixtape drops.
 
Where can people access your music on the web?
 
They can check out reverbnation.com/wesson and soundclick.com/wesson for free streams and downloads.
 
Any embarrassing moments on stage?
 
None I can say so far...
 
Who are your musical influences?
 
My musical influences stem from 90s hip hop and old school R&B. But I study a lot of music from Nas, Rakim, and old school groups like New Edition.
 
What is your musical background like?
 
I use to play instruments when I was younger. But otherwise, a microphone is what I use best.
 
Any other members in your family that are musicians?
 
I'd probably have to say I'm the first in my family to pursue music this far.
 
What is the top reason why you want to play music?
 
The respect, and love you get when a fan can empathize with your music. I love knowing people feel my lyrics and my music and want to support my artistic expression. Thats what music is all about.
 
What has been your best show?
 
Hopefully every one will be a "best".
