AMERICAN RAPPER TREY DAY IS MORE THAN A VIRAL SENSATION

My main focus though is making my life stories come to life. Give the world my stories through music to let everyone know they are not alone. Whether it’s heartbreak, love, death, partying or smoking you’re not alone. Everyone goes through hard aches and good times, it’s called Life.

Hello Trey Day, Thanks for coming to Honk Magazine to talk about your career.

Tell us a little more about when you first got into music?

Trey Day : That’s a funny story, I didn’t even wanna be a rapper/artist. I was going to college at Columbia in Chicago as a photographer until I met a life long friend Dennis Caravello. He told me I should try making music, just on the fact that I wrote a lot of poetry in my phone and in books. He took me to the studio and at the time he was recording he told me just jump in and next thing you know I love it. Changed my whole Maher to music business and Audio production,Once u start it’s like u cants stop

If you could describe your sound/style in one word, what would it be and why?

Trey Day: I would say RAGE. I say this because my music is sad boy. I talk about my life, what’s going on in it and what I’m actually doing between heartbreaks, party, love, traveling, the hood aspects of my life and friends. Just got a lot of pain behind me so that influences the rap singing combo.

What would you say to any aspiring recording artists who look up to your work?

Trey Day: That’s what’s up, send me some music and let’s work. I believe in helping other artists but it’s also a business but if they go hard I got up, let’s work.

What quote or mantra do you live by?

Trey Day : “Life is A Mess” – Juice Wrld

What is your hobby outside of music?

Trey Day: I’m really into watching Anime, smoking a lot of buds and skateboarding. If I had a perfect day it would include all of these things during the day and then to cap it off a night studio session making bangers. Also only smoke backwoods period, I hate games and all that other shit only leafs for me.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Trey Day : Not in pa no more that’s for sure def still making music and touring prob own my own label and just living life to the best as possible see the world a bit.

What are your “5 things I wish someone told me when I first started” and why.

Trey Day: stack your bread to at least 10 racks to get all ur shit in order llc for your brand and you for promotion by ur self a laptop to keep all ur shit in order, and mass use for recording and promotion and go in on one song at a time instead of just throwing a whole project out with no plan. Deff gotta have a plan. And most def release a music video with the single and drop it on the same day as u you do all platforms.

Which tips would you recommend to your colleagues in your industry to help them to thrive and not “burn out”?

Trey Day: have some days just for yourself take days for You and do more for yourself. Take care of yourself number one rule to succeed

Do you have anything new or upcoming we can expect to see from you?

Trey Day: yeah I got “Rose Wrld” Ep dropping October 31st and then My Second studio Album “Broken Rose 2” drops 2022 summer at the beginning of it. Then that leads into my very own anime series called Broken Rose dropping 2022 December. You’re going to see me a lot more. I’m going to be hype. I’m going to be doing shows I wanna rage with you guys and get turnt with a backwood blowing gas in the air with a henny bottle in my hand taking over the industry independently.

What is the inspiration behind your latest song?

Remy Reilly Brings Soulful Fire in New Anthem ‘Dirty Work’

With every notice she sings, Remy Reilly makes you experience like she’s lived one hundred lives, and her ultra-modern launch, “Dirty Work,” isn’t any exception. Reilly’s one-of-a-kind pop-rock sound paired with her uncooked, soulful vocals makes “Dirty Work” an emotional rollercoaster that doesn’t let you off till you’ve confronted every bit of ache from past relationships—and come out more potent on the other facet.

“Dirty Work” is a candid confessional, deepening into the aftermath of betrayal. Reilly’s lyrics, steeped in vulnerability and self-reflection, explore the fear of intimacy and the relentless questions we ask ourselves after being harmed: “Am I enough?” “Will I ever be enough?” Her honesty creates a poignant reference to anybody who has discovered themselves lost in self-doubt and insecurity. But it’s now not all bleak—Reilly crafts an anthem of resilience, showcasing her journey to reclaim her self-confidence after heartbreak.

The effective manufacturing from John Pedigo at Modern Electric Sound Recorders enhances Reilly’s narrative superbly, enveloping her raspy, emotional delivery with a soundscape that propels her message forward. Each notice appears like a step taken towards the last purpose of self-attractiveness and personal empowerment. Todd Pipes’ studying of “Dirty Work” is the final contact that gives this tune its polished side, making it now not just a tune but an experience.

Whether you’re restoring from a past date or, in reality, want a reminder of your very own strength, “Dirty Work” hits its subjects. Remy Reilly’s honesty, vulnerability, and unapologetic resilience are precisely what we need to close out the 12 months—proof that even if others fail us, the work we do on ourselves is never in vain.
