KING MIDWEST

1. WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO PURSUE
MUSIC? WAS IT A CHILDHOOD DREAM?
OR, SOMETHING THAT YOU GREW INTO?

It was a bit of both. I’ve loved music
since a young age and growing up in
an era where children’s voices
weren’t really heard music was an
outlet for us to express ourselves as
we grew up.

2. CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT THE
MUSIC THAT YOU MAKE? IS THERE A
SPECIFIC FOCUS IN GENRE?

I am the world’s first true Genre-less
Artist. I have records in all of the top
genres in music and looking to create
new lanes of music for people to
enjoy. Having as much creative range
as I have, I don’t think there is a style I
wouldn’t be great in.

3. WHO ARE YOUR TOP 5 ARTISTS IN THE
INDUSTRY?

Kanye “Ye” West definitely a big inspiration
on the creativity and just pushing the limits
of your music. Nipsey Hussle. I still play a
lot of his music I’ve followed his story since
his early mixtape days. Mailbox Money was
definitely one of my favorites. Cole, his
word play is ridiculous and his music is
definitely thought provoking. We need more
of this in hip hop. He’s keeping the roots of
hip hop alive. Ed Sheeran. Bro is a vibe ,
seriously. His music makes you want to
dance regardless of if you like him or not
but how can you not. Lil Wayne. We grew
up listening to him until eventually he was
on every station, every song, every hour,
MUSIC FEATURE and the fact that he’s still going crazy today.
Man is a legend and speaking of legends I
couldn’t leave out Chris Brown I mean we
can’t deny talent wise he’s our generations
MJ flat out.
