Please introduce yourself real quick…
I am a Texan Rapper/Producer. I was born and raised in Paris, Texas and went to college at Texas A&M University-Commerce. After getting my degree in music education I moved to Austin, Texas to pursue my music career. Since moving to Austin I have started a group called Loonar and we have a monthly residency at Thicket Park. I am currently writing an electro-funk album that is a culmination of dance music and old school funk. I wanted to write something people could dance to but also something I could rap and sing to as well.
What do you do?
We play a lot in Austin currently, we have a few showcases during SXSW, and this will be our first year playing at SXSW. We are not signed to any label yet, we have interviewed and talked to a few but not signed any contracts yet. We have played at Empire Control Room & Garage, Maggie Mae's Pub, Dirty Dog on 6th street, Hole in the Wall, and The Gatsby on 6th street. We are working with local producers right now doing some collaborations and love to work with other artists!
What´s new right now?
I am currently working on an electro – funk album. I felt like there was a gap between dance music and hip-hop and I wanted to be the one to bridge that gap. It will be about 10 songs, that are all based around typical dance tempos but with funky progressions with a little neo-soul sprinkled in throughout. I currently have one song written and we plan to release the entire project by this summer.
