You are from Boston..how did being from “Beantown” influence you and your music?

Cities like Boston have always inspired me to do something big. Just the vibe of the city can give me new ideas and help start my creative process. I’ve never been a fan of the fast living tho and growing up surrounded by “massholes” and constant swearing definitely rubbed off on me a bit.

How did you come up with the name, “Exentric?” What does it mean to you?

I never really fit into the crowd and back in school I was often bullied and called all sorts of things like “strange, weird, etc”. I was also very ODD and always felt very misunderstood so I picked the word “Eccentric” because it means unconventional and slightly strange. To me, Exentric means being yourself without even caring how other people will perceive you.

Your latest single is “Cake Boss.” Tell us about the song, the recording process, and what is your favorite flavor/type of cake?

CakeBoss originally started as a freestyle but I decided to make it a fun song filled with literary devices. My recording process was pretty straightforward, I would record take after take and experiment a lot with the flow, cadence, delivery etc until I liked it. And my favorite cake is Vanilla/chocolate ice cream cake and cheesecake 🍰

How do you feel about performing live? How often do you get to do it? Any memorable performances?

To be honest I’ve never had much desire to do live shows but I have done them. I could perform more often if I wanted but it would mostly be open mics, small venues etc and right now I’d rather stay focused on creating new music.

What’s next for you? Any plans for an album? Tour? Next single or video?

I’m working on some new songs now so my current plans are to just keep making music.
