Notably, hip-hop isn’t the main influence for my music. I enjoy music in phases of my age. Age 4 to 8: classic rock and pop. Age 9 to 12: mainstream hip-hop and pop. Age 13 to 16: 90’s rock and metal. Age 17 to 18: jazz and classical. Age 19 to present: indie rock, hip-hop, and electronica. You can hear it all in what I compose and write. So what makes me better than other rappers? I have time. I have the time to answer your questions, fulfill your requests, reply to your comments, and most of all, to thank you. Thank you for taking the time to listen to me. I appreciate it. Anyway, enough about me. Go download my album, Maniac Devices and at any price you’d like and let me know what you think of it. Feel free to remix it too and send it to me so I can show people how talented you are. Hopefully, I’ll get to see you in your part of the world soon. Similar artists to my music include Sage Francis, Kid Cudi, Buck 65, Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park, Flobots, P.O.S. If you enjoy one of these guys, you will definitely enjoy my music, as they have had a huge influence. Another strategy that has helped me gain some exposure is taking requests. I really enjoy finding new music and most of my fans are the ones that inform me of good hip-hop beats. If you look at some of my remixes on Youtube, you'll see in the description, "As requested by [username], a vocal remix to [instrumental song]." I enjoy rapping over music that people would like to me rap over, especially if it's music I like; that simple. So feel free to request something. Many rappers and musicians have requested to collaborate with me. It was difficult to filter through all the requests, but I thought of a way to make it simple: a remix project. People can download my acappellas and instrumentals on my website, remix them, and then send them directly to me. If it's beyond what I expected, I will definitely collaborate with him or her and post it on my website for people to download. As of now, I'm working on two projects: the next album, The Impermanent, and a collaboration album with German electronica artist, PITCHEDsenses. PITCHEDsenses is a little more piano-heavy, ambient than my music but very intricate and emotional. As soon as I heard this guy's remix to Sage Francis' "Waterline," I had to contact him and get something together. Look out for these projects in the future.
