Eric6ray – I don’t describe it. I leave it to the listeners experience to describe it

2. What is the first album you ever listen to? Who are the artists you look up to past and present?

Advertisement

Eric6ray – First album I ever hear was Nas. The one with “one mic” and “if I ruled the world”

And I don’t look up or down on any artist. Everybody is creating art and telling their experiences . I pull from within myself, my life, and my own issues for inspiration.

3. Where do you find your inspiration?

Eric6ray –  I get inspiration from everything . especially from issues I overcome or going through. Depression, breakup, drug abuse, confusion, love, war, family.

4. What is one experience in life that, without it, you wouldn’t be the artist you are today?

Eric6ray – Substance use. If I didn’t use so much in my past I don’t think I would of seen things the way I do or have had to overcome anything. Overcoming is a huge part of the process and art.

5 Please tell us more about your experience in the music industry, how it affected your life and art?

Eric6ray – I learned from a lot of artist , producers, managers, and labels in the industry. From distribution deals to management deals, to features getting cleared. After going through and using the beast for awhile I decided to stay independent until the right partnership came along. This decision gave me more time to focus on myself and my life and my art . I don’t have to please anybody with my art other then myself.

6. How does your creative process differ now compare to when you started?

Eric6ray – Now I create my own beats, I write my own lyrics, i have a lot more of a unique and different sound. I found my voice now a days. When I first started I used a lot of YouTube beats and I didn’t have my own sound or really any consistent process . Most of the creative side I do on my own. Then I leave the science and promotions up to my team.

7. If you could take anyone in the world dead or alive for dinner who would it be?

Eric6ray – Id take 2pac to dinner. I would want to talk to him 1 on 1 because everything you see in the media could of been twisted to portray something they wanted us to see. I want to see what really drove the greatest rapper on earth. Or bob marley and I’d have the same questions. Or Kurt cobain.

8. Do you prefer recording or performing Live? And Why?

That’s the hardest question. I love recording because you’re mind can wonder to anywhere and you can say anything and it can become ANYTHING you feel or want it to be.

But I love performing because the energy the crowd gives you makes you feel like you could Float straight through the ceiling.

If I had to choose though… man I don’t even know what I’d choose! I’d probably record right on stage 😂.

Artist Spotlight

HeIsTheArtist Opens Up about New EP, Faith and more!

Can you tell us a little about your musical background and how you got started in the industry?

Growing up, I was always in some type of choir and band. I didn’t take music seriously, however, until I was an adult, when a music producer from my hometown discovered me online singing covers for fun on my Instagram page. He loved what he heard and invited me to his studio to record a single (now titled “Honey”). The rest is history.

Your new EP, “Dreaming In Emerald City (Wicked Deluxe Edition),” is a tribute to two iconic films. What inspired you to create this project?

In recent years, musical movies have grown in popularity. That alone inspired me to create this project, which mixed the essence of my favorite two musical movies with R&B.

How do you infuse elements of Broadway and neo-soul into your music? 

I was deliberate with the nostalgic instrumentation to give an old-school Broadway sound. I mixed in the Neo-Soul element with my soulful vocal delivery.

The theme of empathy and self-love is prominent in this EP. Can you speak more on the messages you hope to convey through your music?

This EP is about self-discovery (which is the theme of “The Wizard of Oz” as well). The EP takes you on a journey, from love of others to self-love. By the end of the EP, I hope listeners have a little more love to give in their hearts.

Your cover of Minnie Riperton’s “Lovin’ You” has gained a lot of attention. What made you choose this song and how did you put your own spin on it?

I chose “Lovin’ You” because it’s the epitome of earthy love songs. I put a spin on it by just being myself while still honoring the original.

The EP also includes a remix of your original song “Mi Amor.” Can you talk about the inspiration behind this song and its remixes?

The song itself was inspired by “The West Side Story” (which is why the lyrics are mostly in Spanish). The song is about falling in love in a world that often times breaks lovers apart.

The retro remixes were inspired by the 1989 musical movie “Teen Witch” where the main character had trouble finding love until she realized she always had the power to find love, she just had to find love within herself.

Your music has reached international success, particularly in the UK. How does it feel to have such a wide audience for your music?

Advertisement

It feels great that my music is reaching larger audiences. It shows that my God-fearing music is being embraced in a world that can be so heartless at times.

You have been described as a Christian R&B artist. Can you tell us about the role of faith in your music?

Advertisement

God is everything in my music. God is love, which is why every song I sing is about love.

Can fans expect any live performances or tours in support of this EP?

Advertisement

Yes, towards the summer, I will be doing various live performances. Stay posted to my social media for performance dates!

What can we expect from HeIsTheArtist in the future? Any upcoming projects or collaborations to look out for?

On May 10th I will be releasing a cover of “(At Your Best) You Are Love” by The Isley Brothers paired with a cinematic music video. I call this project “Dreaming In Emerald City 1.5” because it expands on the concepts that my EP “Dreaming In Emerald City” touched on.
