Exclusive Interview w/
Pasadena, Maryland.
Mistah Wilson: Are you actively performing at tha
moment?
Starchild: No, not currently. I've actually never
performed live before but it's something I
definitely want to do. I'm just now getting the time
to get my music out there and hopefully can find
some open mic nights to start out with first.
Mistah Wilson: Are you an independent artist or
are you signed with management?
Starchild: I'd consider myself an independent
artist. I record my music from the comfort of my
home now but would love to be able to actually
work in a studio one day.
Mistah Wilson: Who are some of your musical
influences?
Starchild: There are almost too many to name! I'm
a huge fan of the 80s and 90s and grew up mostly
listening to 80s and 90s hip hop, rap and R&B
music. I've always been inspired by the female
artists in the music industry. My biggest influences
are TLC, Salt n Pepa, Queen Latifah, and MC
Lyte. They were women I could look up to, who
were positive role models and doing what they
love. I hope that one day my music will be is as
influential to someone else as their music was and
still is to me.
Mistah Wilson: From your stand point, what’s tha
current state & condition of Hip Hop today?
Starchild: I miss the kind of old school rap that I
grew up listening to…the type of songs that actually
told a story and didn’t have a bunch of foul
language. That is the kind of music I want to write
and bring back! We need more positive female
rappers out there too.
Mistah Wilson: What do you plan on accomplishing
through your music?
Starchild: I just want to make music that everyone
will enjoy. I'm not looking to be famous or make a
lot of money. I want my music to be able to
influence people like the music I grew up listening
to did for me. I have a lot to say through my music
and I just want to get it out there for everyone to
hear. It's also important for me that the music I make
means something to me too!
