recently sat down with Fake motives Richie Roxx. Here’s what development. That structure and balance How do you feel the Internet he had to say, would help artist strive and elevate with has impacted the music busiTell everybody a little bit about your self.

knowledge and build up their brand.

How you doing I’m creatively known as Richie Roxx from Jefferson park District in Los Angeles. I’m indie Recording Artist, Audio Engineer/ Producer, And owner of a multi media company known as Wealthy Citizens.

If you could change anything about the industry, what would it be?

Well, If I could change anything about the this industry it would have to be the lack of resources.. better yet the lack of information to help up and coming artist compete on the major scale. I also would change the how deals are being negotiated. And definitely bring back artist development.

ness?

The internet is such a big growing space that it ; in my opinion damaged the old business model and created something that someone who never had much access to reach a listener can just simple get on platforms like social media and showcase the talent and grow a global fan base with out even leaving they city. The internet has always been such a innovative tool and having it at your advantage can be used for all sorts of lucrative movements while creatively planning and executing strategies to push your content to the masses.

W

hat is your creative process like?

When I’m in my recording mode i zone out and get into a space where all my thoughts are “in The moment” all the bullsh*t of the world.. all my personal problems.

All the negative energy i shut it all out. Like a light switch I just turn the world off and get into my vibes ...aside from the mental I already set myself up to be locked in this space for more than 10hours... majority of my records are self produced so it’s easier for me to think of a concept to complement a beat I made and start writing out my ideas... whether it’s quotes or a unfinished bars down to simple poetic formats like haikus And damn near even just run on sentences of getting my point across on paper then structure it all later.

Always staying on my toes with lyrical exercises cut on a random beat and just freestyle what ever comes to mind and even using that method to see what comes up and what’s sticks and maybe even follow with a few lyrics to create a record from all that.

Describe your favorite and least favorite

part about being a musician.

My favorite part of being a musician has to be the passion I have to create! The creation process to me is undoubtedly my favorite.. my least would have to be accepting financial/life instability as part of the sacrifice I have record called “UNDIVIDED” the hook goes “all the time when you need me you can call me be there all the time/ if I got it then you got it / give you all of my mine my attention undivided when I’m on the grind/ I’m contemplating for a better route. I’ve had to miss out on time with loved ones because of long studio block sessions , rehearsals, gigs, and shows.

What strengths do you have

that you believe make you a great musician?

My creativity, my confidence and my patience. I been doing music as a teen into adulthood and I’ve accomplished so much on this scale that has not even made a dent into reaching the masses so accomplishing and still going through the obstacles that life offers has kept me in a mode to approach all aspects with a strong mind and belief that what I’m doing is going towards a bigger purpose. My never ending thoughts that come to me that I have to write down or either I voice record to later create a genuine vibe that is known as my music.

With faith in god hope for the future and knowledge of life I’m unstoppable

How would you describe the music that you typically create?

I would simple describe my production sound as mellow hype! My records just going off my latest recordings are mostly hip hop.

What made you want to become a

musician?

Since a early age I always wanted to do music like songwriting. From growing and perfecting my craft i just got better and more progressive with my content. Just letting my passion take over and go all out with my platform.

Music has always been around me.

In the studio with HB: On the 1’s n 2’s with Fig Nation’s very own DJ YJ.....

I go by the name of DJ YJ. I’m a Disc Jockey. I was born and raise in Los Angeles California. I’ve been Djing since of was 9 Years Old. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember when I got my first DJ setup all I had was a mixer, amp, and a regular CD changer and two speakers from RadioShack lol. That’s when I didn’t know too much about Djing I just knew the basics. Years came by I started to know more knowledge about being a Disc Jockey(DJ) and the tricks that came along with it. I first notice when I wanted to be a dj when I seen my siblings and family members collecting music. Having all these music on CDs. So then I decided to collect music burning and downloading variety of music for others for a little change in my pocket had got me thinking why not play the music at parties and that’s when I took it to the next level. I was inspired by listening and watching Dj Jam Master Jay from Run DMC and Dj Jazzy Jeff from the fresh prince who gave me the inspiration to be just the same way. The Name YJ came from my last name first which is Young then my first name second which is Joseph. So I just combine it to make it a more simple name to go by. My favorite Eastcoast DJ would have to be DJ Jam Master Jay and for West Coast I didn’t really have a favorite DJ they all was dope. All I’m saying is work and play hard keep pushing your brand by networking and business cards and connecting with people in your neighborhoods because it is not easy, there’s so many competition out there ready to take the spotlight.

What or who inspired you to write movies? N why?

My foster/adopted mom inspired me she passed away in 2006 and when she was alive I always wrote short stories and poems. She would make me read 30min a day! :) when I came home from school. I was 11 years old making short film movies :)

Tell us about your first short film.

My first short film, I was seating at work thinking about life and my friends and family. And I said why not tell a story about life. So I started writing stories about everyday things people go through everyday.
