Read the Seers Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
I'm Seers from the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina. I'm a rapper and songwriter, and my latest project 'Where the Water Falls' (https://soundcloud.com/lifeofseers/sets/where-the-water-falls), is a nod to my hometown that is a constantly rainy, green, and lively place. This project focuses on the yin and yang of that environment.
I'm a part of the Nomad Collective. The idea behind the nomad is that we are always moving and going from place to place. Everything is temporary, this isn't home, and there is always something greater ahead and we try to represent that with what we create.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
A lot of my influences have stayed the same. I have stayed consistent with following the artists and styles as they have evolved and as I have matured the style of music I like remains the same but the understanding and exposure of artists has grown. My depth has changed, but the style stays the same.
Some of my biggest influences are Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Joey Bada$$, Kendrick Lamar and all of TDE. Outside of rap, I listen to a lot of blues and soul music, right now I am listening to a lot of Blind Willie Johnson.
Over time my musical tastes have become more mature. I really understand the older music with more appreciation now.
What´s new right now?
2018 will be a big year for me. I am working on a dual project called 'Half Animal/Half Ghost', that has a mix of high energy tracks and chill vibes. It taps into human instincts as well as my spiritual side. The production is on another level, including Chicago producer Martin $ky, Jew Paidro, 93FEETOFSMOKE, and some other surprises. If you liked any of the singles I released in 2017, you will love this project.
