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.”
