Read the Reno Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
My name is Steven Cowan. aka Reno. I am currently 21 years old from Oklahoma City. I have only been producing seriously for about a year. Prior to this, I would dabble in hip hop beats in Fruity Loops. Now I make a lot of trap music, but i've been working into other genres.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
I have always had an ear for music since I was young. I would usually be using my voice to sing and stuff as well. In middle school, I remember writing raps in class. I had always been a fan of hip hop music. Until about six years ago, I had wanted to be a rapper/hip hop artist. That all changed whenever I had purchased the game DJ Hero 2 for the Nintendo Wii. From then on, I had been more focused on EDM and DJing. Now, I am currently spending more time on perfecting my production and building my brand. My ultimate goal in all of this is to perform mainstage at Ultra Music Festival and also to own and run a successful record label.
What´s new right now?
I have a couple different things in the making! First, I have 2 upcoming bootleg remixes I'm hoping to release before 2018. One for XXXTentacion's track "Orlando," and the other for Jauz & Netsky's track "Higher."
I also have plans to release a 5 track EP in early 2018!
Keep an eye out for new Reno music!!!
