Read the Taylor Wright Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
My name is Belmin Halilovic. I was born and raised in Norway, but my parents are from Bosnia. I go by the artist and producer name "Taylor Wright". I have previously gone by the names "Kid Fresh", "Junyor" and "Skylark Beats".
I have always loved music, especially rap and I grew up listening to Eminem, 50 Cent and Lil Wayne. I wasn't inspired to do music until I was 11 years old when I fell in love with producing after I heard about DJ Mustard, specifically the track "My nigga" by YG. I started producing on a software I can't remember the name of, but I eventually switched over to FL Studio 11. My music as an artist is a mix between trap and chill vibes, but I can produce pretty much anything.
My whole family has a singing voice except me. Like naturally, but I of course use Auto Tune, just like everybody else, and I make it work.
My main goal is to just get my name out there. To let people know who I am and where I come from. I want to live that lifestyle where I don't have to worry about much. Just live my life with a lot of money and love.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
Like I said previously, my main influence would be DJ Mustard. At least to start making music.
I have been inspired by a lot of great artists and producers. Such as, Kid Ink, Chris Brown, mjNichols, Travis Scott and ASAP Rocky, just to name a few.
I would say that I just evolved instead of saying that I took time to change my style and taste. I used to follow the mainstream stuff, but now I just make whatever comes to my mind. My music really depends on what mood I am in.
What´s new right now?
I have recently released a few songs on Spotify, iTunes etc. I have two tapes on the way. One with my good friend and who I've been working with for a while, Jakob Leichtman. The tape is called "Brainstorm". I also have my own tape which will be released soon called "Expensive Dreams". I still upload beats from time to time on YouTube and Soundcloud.
