Music's Week Staff: What made you realize that music was your path?
Freemvson: I realized music was my path after I recorded for the first time in a garage studio. It was just a spontaneous and fun moment that would ignite a new flame.
Music's Week Staff: How will you describe your music to people?
Freemvson: I want to be a hip-hop and rap artist. However, my music contains elements of psychedelic pop and r&b; something I like to describe as “trip-hop.”
Music's Week Staff: What are your thoughts on the evolution of an artist and the evolution of music today?
Freemvson: I think that artist development isn’t the priority anymore. Labels today aren’t looking to sign exceptional talent and then develop that artist into a star. Instead, labels are looking for artists who are already on the rise and gaining that momentum; pretty much relieving themselves of the very work they’re supposed to be doing. The industry has become a lot more superficial. I believe that a lot of major hip-hop labels are only wanting to sign artists of a certain caliber and image as if to push an agenda. It has become over-saturated.
Music's Week Staff: Describe your experience recording the song "Shmoke"?
Freemvson: When I recorded Shmoke, I already had a vision for it. I knew exactly what sound I was going for and I knew how to bring that sound to life. The emotions were already there as well.
Music's Week Staff: What are your music goals for this year, and how are you working towards achieving them?
Freemvson: My music goals for this year and next year are to continue focusing on making quality sounding music and consistently investing in it. The biggest hurdle will be funding. As an independent artist you’re on your own in the beginning. Everything is out of pocket in terms of finances. I write, record, and engineer my own music so I’ve been lucky enough to cut out those production costs with the skills I’ve learned in audio engineering. However, marketing and publicity are very expensive. I’ve been writing songs since I was 10 years old so the creativity comes second nature. My focus is the business now. I want to get my music heard.
Music's Week Staff: What was the creative approach for this new video?
Freemvson: The vision I had for Shmoke was something dark. My approach was to give it that gritty, monotone sound with an eerie, but energetic feeling.
Music's Week Staff: How important do you think video is to your music?
Freemvson: I think a visual is important to capturing the full vision of a hit song. It gives the viewer a more broad interpretation of the song. When it comes to my art, I love giving the listeners and viewers endless freedom to interpret it how they see fit.
Music's Week Staff: Are you already working on a new music? If so, can you tell us something about it?
Freemvson: I have a lot of music in the vault that I’ve worked on for the past couple of years. It’s just a matter of finding a place for it in my catalog. Every new song I make I have to decide if it’s worth pushing, putting on a full project, or throwing it away completely. I have a new song I’m releasing on Friday, November 17th. The song is called “One Chance,” featuring two other artists from Dayton, Ohio. Their stage names are Noble and DayDayBeKoo. This song is about toxic relationships and overcoming those struggles. The people you love the most and who you keep close will hurt you the worst because you never expect it from them. You have to make a decision to forgive the ones who’ve hurt you or simply move on. I think most people will relate. It’s simply a song about toxic people who will come into your life, hurt you, and beg for chance after chance.
Music's Week Staff: Has your music career journey had a deliberately direction or did it simply gradually evolve in whatever direction it found?
Freemvson: I think my music career is evolving into whatever direction it’s meant to go. I ultimately don’t think we choose our audience as artists. I don’t focus on who I want to make music for. I focus on what my ears like and the kind of music I’d like to listen to. I believe there is an audience for everything. This way I’ll be able to relate to my fans and they can relate to me.
Music's Week Staff: Where can potential fans find out more about you?
Freemvson: I’m going to keep putting music out and investing in my craft. That means getting more publicity and telling my story. I hope to get some fan interaction soon!
