Read the blvkkhvrt. Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
I'm blvkkhvrt. (pronounced black heart.) and I am from El Paso, Texas.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
My influences have indeed altered. Some have stayed and others have gone. As I grew older and went through experiences I gravitated towards other artists that sang of the same pain and joy.
What´s new right now?
Right now, I have a single titled '101' that I'm pushing to the fullest. The production on it is done by a producer known as Retro Hills.

I released it and shared it first on Reddit and since then it has gained traction and has put eyes on me. Im currently getting things done to begin shooting the video for it. Start and hopefully finish day for shooting is at the end of the month and should be released within the next month.

What has been your biggest challenge right now? Have you been able to overcome that challenge? If so, how?
My biggest challenge right now is breaking the wall between the world I know, and the one I dream of. I know what i have to do and I know the steps it will take but that doesn't mean it is a guarantee. If theres one thing I've learned in just the passed few months alone, is that NOTHING is guaranteed. Not even tomorrow.

Once you discovered new music, do you tell others about the new music/artist you discovered? If yes, how exactly?
“I always put my friends and people I know on new music. Not just to be that "I SHOWED YOU FIRST" guy lol but because If i genuinely enjoyed it I know my friends will. I'll play it on the AUX, or I'll even post it on my instagram and snapchat stories.
