State your (real) name.
· Malcolm Isaiah Dowthard
When did first 'become' an artist .
[ do you recall the day , you said -- ' this is what i wanna do , make music '?]
· Although I have been producing music since I was 15 going into the eleventh grade, I decided to become an artist after leaving Noitavoni Records and moving to Washington D.C to complete a semester abroad at another college. Prior to my switch to American University in D.C I attended Loyola University New Orleans.
Where, Why and How did you come up with your stage name?
· I named myself. In choosing a name, I sought a name/tittle that embodied a consensus of my productions. If anything, I would like to be recognized for my concepts; from subject matter though instrumental arrangement and choice.
Are you a member of a music organization (label) , if so name?
· Indeed. I am a member of Made iN Space Productions and Publishing, which is an element of a Secret Music Group composed of other affiliate organizations.
Who are your musical influences?
· In no particular order, the following are my musical influences. . . . all other good music, life, arbitrary things i fathom, love, hate, the cosmos, astronomy, controversy, history, the future yet to come, my dreams, family, friends.
Who are your favorite groups? cd ? ( list 3 a piece please)
· Jay-Z - "The Blueprint III" , Kanye WesT - "The Graduation", Pharell - "Seeing Sounds"
I take it your write your own music , but what gives you the inspiration ?
· The moment at hand is primarily my inspiration. Often, already complete visions sprout into my head then I record them into my phones notepad if I am unable to manifest them on the spot.
What’s more intriguing and creative writing lyrics or the actual singing creating melodies?
· Indeed by 1% I would say that the creating of the melodies/beats is the most intriguing element of the creative process of manifesting a song.
What image do you think your music conveys ?
· I think my songs convey vivid images of the vocal lyrics and the emotional image of the instrument arrangement.
What do you want from your fans ?
· I want participation and love from my fans. I create in hopes others will empathize with my production. Most people have a song they love working out to, love listening to when they get off work, love playing at weddings, love playing at the club, love playing when life puts them in a bad mood. I hope my song completes a void. I hope my creations to deliver happiness and fulfillment to a given occasion. If 96% of Earth did not like my music, I would only be concerned with the 4% who did. And I would appreciate them. .
What are your immediate music career goals?
· My immediate career goals are to advance my art and promote my art, and expand and consolidate my network. Through these things others come into fruition.
What has been your biggest challenge has a unsigned artist?
· Myself. I am vice president of the record label I am signed to. Other than the other executives, there is no one else I report to.
What do you want to accomplish with your music this year (2010) ?
· I plan promote content from my latest project, “FOREVER and BEYOND mixtape” which released November 10th 2009. In the mean time I am also working on my next mixtape, “Welcome to FuturE” which will be a collision of Trance Electronic Energy and Hip Hop Energy. Later in 2010 look to hear my Hip Hop project “*The KUSH 2010*”.
Out of all the songs you have recorded , what is your favorite ? , what is your least favorite?
· My Favorite Song Recorded thus far is Space For A While , because it is the most abstract but concrete thing I have architected thus far.
· My least favorite is the first song and beat I ever created simply because they are the oldest and youngest representations of my creative capabilities.
Could you briefly describe your music- making process .
· Create a brand new beat (or) Vibe to an already created beat. Write or Freestyle Vocals/Record Them. Mix & Master the product. Then vwala!
Do you have any upcoming shows ?
· Indeed, I have a listening party with Brother Hood ENT in Los Angeles, January 19th.
· Others to be announced. . . . .
· I am shooting a music video for my song “Im So TurnT” produced by J Hawk, details also to be announced.
