6 . Would you become mainstream to make more money ?

I would say that there are two major differences in calling an artist “ mainstream ”. When it comes to considering this stream as the largest channel in communicating to the audience , then nobody would not appreciate it . So am I , because getting a lot of attention would mean that many people out there can connect with my nature and my music . Knowing that you can share your thoughts and your artistry with as much people as possible is of great worth for an artist . On the other side you have major labels , artists and producers that try to catch the wave of the mainstream , in order to make huge sells . This is definitely not what I ' m aiming at . Not because I believe that it is immoral , it ' s more that I ' m convinced that listeners appreciate authenticity . This is just my opinion about “ mainstream ” from an unsigned and unhyped perspective . I don ' t know what it feels like , having a deal , having to make sells to fulfill contracts and having people decide on and influence your work . I imagine this to be difficult , but there a re several examples , like Mac Miller , that sticked to their way , which I ' m appreciative of .

7 . Who do you want to work with in the future ?

It might sound cheesy but I would just love to stay working with people that reach out , show love and supply a basis of respect . Right now , I have a bunch of great people , throwing inspiring projects at me . Artists who work with my producer team such as “ JR ”, or “ Kbee ” and “ Sean Dean ” from London , are just very appreciative of my art and approach me with love and passion . Still , even having you guys from musicventures mag showing interest , made me want to make this interview and to cooperate . I am very thankful for this .

8 . UPCOMING PROJECTS ?

Definitely check me out on soundcloud and let me know how you feel about the songs . I am planning to release my free online mixtape in autumn this year , which will be called “ Trust me ”. It all will be produced by The Titans and by saying that I mean highly produced songs like “ STIUTK ” on soundlcoud . We just shot videos to the songs “ Berlin ”, “ The Warning ” and “ Far Away ” which also will be coming up in the following months .
