What is your
artist name?
My name is Halfwit
Where are you
from?
I am from beautiful and sunny Ventura,
California
Are you a
rapper/beatmaker or DJ?
I am mostly a rapper, I am trying to
train myself to make and fully produce beats, I know some tricks but I still
need practice. IMO anyone can be a disk jockey lol but I'm no hard style dj if
that's what your asking haha
Do you have a
crew?
Yes my first crew is Conceptual lyrics
(Hesh studios/half wrath ent) also I roll with Street Gryme and Voodoo Docterz.
How old are you?
I'm 19 going on 20 years old
What kind of music
do you make?
I make satyrical hip hop and rap music.
I love that dirty grymey underground shit. But I'd like to also start making
doom metal, reggae and punk rock and other types of things as well (but not as
seriously just to be able to say "hey look at what I did"
What kind of
artists are an inspiration to you?
All sorts of artists are inspirations to
me. My first musical inspirations where my dads band synoptic sinfoney, eminent
and rob zombie when. As I got older I got heavily ino black sabbath, slayer,
iron maiden, Korn, system of a down and disturbed. Later in middle school (8th)
grade I started listening to necro, spm, Afroman, cypress hill, tech 9 and
killa mike. That's when I started rly getting into hip hop.
How long have you
been making music?
I recorded my first song at my friend
games house with the homie critic back in 10th grade. I was fifteen at the
time. We never used that track for anything and it was never finished but we
recorded something lol.
Is music your job
or just a hobby?
Right now music is on the fence. Im
getting paid as an assistant sound tech and I'm being trained as an engineer
and how to mix and master music etc etc but I'm working on making it into a
job. The way i see it though until I'm selling CDs, pushing beats, charging for
music videos, selling collaborations and getting payed to perform, my music can
only really be considered a hobby. Sadly.
Can we expect some
albums of you this year/next year?
Yes I'm going to be getting on the ball
with this album here really soon. I have some songs that's are in the works
that I need to record a few things for. And they will be killer when they are
done. But I should be dropping my lp later this year and maybe if I have time a
small mixtape or ep.. Definitely music videos and a couple remixes!
Can you name some
artists you want to work with?
I'm working on a song right now with gmo
skee and Whitney Peyton. That one will be amazing once it's released. But as
far as artists I'd like to work with still I could name a million but here are
some I'm going to reach out to in the next year or so. Marcanum x, mad child,
inspectah deck, block McCloud, Kung fu vampire, kid crusher, mc cumblood, sun
sun scissor hands maybe more. I UNO.
Thanks for the
interview.
