Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
My name is Fortysvn and I am a recording artist, music producer, audio engineer and CEO of Dreams Pay Bills. Aside from my main roles, I also act as a booking agent for DJTSWAG, a manager for upcoming artists and a music business mogul who guides independent artists how to monetize their music and maximize capital from their creations. I'm reigning from Albany, NY, where the city is changing fast and my crew and I are turning it into the new Toronto. I spend my time crafting and writing songs for myself which are available on all major streaming services, recording and mixing albums for artists at my recording studio, making beats for artists globally and helping artists create the best deal for themselves independently. This is the day for artists and not labels, our future is in our hands!
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
I was born in 1992 which means I grew up during the golden era of Hip-Hop and Rap. Naturally, I was a big fan of Tupac, Biggie, DMX and Nas as phenomenal lyricists. I also gravitated to R&B at a young age listening to 112, Next, Tyrese, Tank and many more. More currently, I study Drake and OVO as the blueprint to this music industry. They really flipped the game on it's head and truly are my favorite as I look up to the moves they're making as a cohesive unit. Another all time favorite would have to be Russ, solely based as the independent pioneer for artists like myself who wanted to make a career from their music. I can really relate to Russ because he produces, writes, records and mixes all of his own music like myself. I want platinum plaques like Russ, completely independent.
What´s new right now?
I have so much coming for 2018! On Sunday, January 21, I will be releasing my first single of the year called, "BAG SZN". This record is for the hustlers, go getters, and entrepreneurs who set out to get what they want and secure the bag confidently. I'm going to be dropping new music consecutively all year long so stay in touch with me everywhere @fortysvnflows as I continue through this incredible musical journey.
