Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
Hello, I'm Dead Bad Bunny, the scariest rabbit in town. I do horror songs directly from my grave.
You can check some stuff in my Youtube channel ( http://youtube.com/deadbadbunny) or my Soundcloud (http://soundcloud.com/deadbadbunny)
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
I am influenced by the experiences of life and death. Music is a blessing that can come as an angel in your life, and it can save you in bad times of loss or broken hearts.
I am inspired by sacred art, cemeteries, cinema, Dracula, Addams Family, John Carpenter, David Lynch, and lots of good ol' coffee.
I like weird things, weird sounds, it's funny how you can make someone shiver simply with a whisper, or unfamiliar sounds.
I always admired old cartoons too, certainly growing up watching them helped me to want to be an animator and illustrator. It's a creative exercise you seek to learn all by yourself, on the basis of DIY, everything I do for this project I've tried to do with my hands and learn from it.
Out of this obscure world, I work with graphic design and illustrations. Here I have an opportunity to experiment by my standards, so I'm probably always looking to evolve my taste over time, maybe.
What´s new right now?
Recently i've made a collab with Synthwave Emotions Channel in a Stranger Things tribute called "Stranger Waves" , some song of mine appears in the Wisecrack channel too. I've directed and animated one of my videos, it's called Kiss. Die. Repeat. You can check it out in the Youtube aswell. I'm doing some livestreams too of songs, testing some mixtape set. If you want to know what will come out of my grave, I suggest entering my cemetery on social networks and just follow the rabbit ?

What was the biggest mistake you made when you started making music and what would be the number one tip you could give to a newcomer musician?
Just have fun, don't be afraid if it sucks. Just put it online and see what you got. Maybe your friends do not like it, but someone from Transylvania can love it.
Position yourself as a company, think of what you want to tell in your music, do a cool brand, hire a designer if you need to draw a cover art, t shirt or do something yourself if you have the tools and knowledge. Today you do not need any bureaucracy to spread your work. Even if this is not your breadwinner, do it by the creative process, keep your brain active, music can be a therapy for your life in some way.

How do you personally discover new music?
Digging in the internet mostly, youtube got some gold mines if you search for the right spot. Many artists just don't got a label or anything to spread they works. It's always good to reach something different in another part of the world

What is your number one tip to improve your music production or songwriting skills?
Put your soul into it, even if it sucks freaking bad like microwavin' cold coffee . Put a meaning. Many songs today are successful but do not have a soul.
