Read the Freddy G$ Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
The name is Freddy G$! I am a Artist/Producer from the EASTCOAST! I've been writing and rapping since I was 9 or 10 but just started to take it serious within the last 5 years. About 3 years ago I started to make beats and shortly after that I began mixing and mastering songs as well, so I kind of took it upon myself to do it all. Besides music, I love movies, video games, and reading top books are still the Harry Potter series. If I'm not doing any of those then I'm most likely at work, but still have the time to do everything I need to do to push my career. My artist style varies cause I don't really like being put in a box but since i started doing more for myself I've been avle to express more creatively.

Im still learning and growing as I go! Just keep a eye out for me! You will see my name everywhere very soon!
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
My influences come from everywhere. In the beginning it was 50 Cent and the whole G-Unit camp basically late 90's early 2000's music. They changed over the times when I started to move around the U.S. from being up north to moving to the south was a culture shock. Like less NY and Philadelphia artist and it was all ATL, N.C., S.C., and Florida artist. Then when I lived in Japan I was introduced to a bunch of different things Go-go music, Detroit music, Bay-Areas sound before they blew up and countless others. I feel that in order to grow you have to overcome and adapt and music is always going to change. Now I listen to everything Pop, Country, Dance, House, a lot of old 70's rock and alternative stuff. Just trying to keep my ears open!
What´s new right now?
Right now I'm just creating. I have a project playlist I'm working on called IDGAF2 where every month I add 2 new tracks. Its been going on since August and Im trying to keep it going till I'm ready to drop my album(TBD). As for live shows I'm in the works of getting things together now. Just mostly focus on my branding and building my catalog. Follow me on IG, and Twitter at @coolfreddygeez Soundcloud is Freddy G$ and Facebook is Freddy G$/ YWC.

Are you a superfan of anyone? How did you become a superfan? Do you remember how you become a fan and what turned you into super fan? Have you ever thought about why you´re such a fan?
I am a super fan of Tyler The Creator. He never seems to disappoint and he is constantly trying to find himself as i am as well. I turned into a super fan once i heard bastard just him and his subject matter was ground breaking and boundary breaking. Him and Kanye west both are my favorite artist/Producers. they don't care if you like it or not they are gonna make the music and keep pushing for great!

What was the biggest mistake you made when you started making music and what would be the number one tip you could give to a newcomer musician?
Listening to negative people. Don't let anyone tell you that you cant do what you want to do when It comes to creating. They can give you suggestions but thats it. don't let them break you by saying your music is bad or you are trash. somewhere on this earth people don't like a lot of things but that doesn't make or break you! keep pushing for greatness!
