Read the GrapeSoda Henderson Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
I am a artist that goes by the name of GrapeSoda Henderson. I make palm tree music (s/o Polyester for that), its pretty much music you can literally just chill, have fun to and most importantly relate to. My music comes with a different and unique sound that generally catch listeners attention right off the first few seconds of each song.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
I would say in certain aspects of my music you can tell that my influences have changed along with experiences. I mean sometimes I go back and listen to my older stuff and be like man what was I talking about back then. My taste in beats have changed a little as well but not too drastically though, I still go for sounds that talks to me and I visualize a concept to the record. Sometimes, it may be mellow and slow, or hard hitting and fast just like keeping listeners on edge and have them wondering what the next track sounds like rather than it being predictable and similar.
What´s new right now?
Currently working with a artist from from California named "Q', we currently working on a joint project titled G.Q, and the collective name is "G.Q.", consisting of me, Juicy Beats (Producer of the whole project, and Q. We form the rap collective "G.Q" which the project dropping in mid February. Right now live gigs are coming very soon. Also, videos are in the works for a couple songs off my latest project "Belvedere", which is coming soon and will be released on Youtube in the spring time.
