ARTIST SPOTLIGHT — BLOW FLYY
What do you hope to accomplish as an artist ?
I ’ d like to make enough money to help my family , win some major music awards , give back to my community , and help kids all over the world . I want my music to help me get to places where I can help the poor and sick ; I love
helping others .
What would you change about the music industry , if you could ?
Independent artists being equally played on terrestrial radio as much as major label artists and also the same music licensing opportunity that the major signed artists have . Also , a lot of rappers are forgetting that everybody
doesn ’ t live in big houses and drive nice cars . I would say be more realistic when making music / writing songs .
What did you do before you started making music ? I always made music while taking care of my family and working in the construction industry . Music is a part of me .
How has your hometown province of Nova Scotia influenced your music ? Not that much . My city does not influence me , sad to say , but it ’ s the reality of living in a city like Nova Scotia . Not that much going on for young black artists / bands .
What can people expect to experience during one of your live performances ? A lot of energy and emotion .
Do you play any instruments ? NO .
Are there any artists that you liken yourself to , or strive to be like , while keeping your personal style ? No , I strive to be great in my own way .
Is there anything that you ’ re currently working on that you would like to share ? Look out for my new album still in the works called “ BORN TO DREAM .” I also have a new single out right now called , “ TO THE STARZ .”
