He says
“I listen to all kinds of music, but I prefer rap. When I make tracks my targeted audience are people who like my talent, who enjoys rap and drill. I hear a lot of rappers saying that they make music with their fans, I make music for my fans and friends! I would only release a song if I’m confident I’d also listen to it.”
MichelMoreLife saw potential in what he was doing and contacted a known beat maker “Chris Rich”. Together they made a drill beat that would suit his new lyrics.
“He wanted to make a song that people would remember for ever. The most important part was the hook, that had to be special.” That’s how he came up with the song “Lacking”, it has reached over 100 thousand streams on Youtube and even more on other streaming platforms. This song has been played on repeat by local radio’s.
“I always wanted this, to be known for my talent. One of my best moments was when a fan walked up to me to ask for a picture because he’d seen me on his television. I’ve never experienced a feeling like that!”
For this year he has a structured plan to continue working on his career. He has multiple tracks ready for release. “He is waiting for the summer, because people feel like in a good mood and his music will only make it better. He exercises a lot, that’s where he gets inspired.”
For now he is an independent artist, which means he is in total control of his releases. Two labels have been in contact with MichelMoreLife to offer him deals, but they wanted a big percentage of his earning to which he declined both offers.
Being independent artist
“I’d rather stay independent and have my own voice than to obey orders that I don’t like. I know it’s going to be more difficult that way but success doesn’t come without it’s struggles.”
