Today we’d like to introduce you to Norks, a rising young artist based in Nazareth, Palestine. Began producing at the age of sixteen because he was mind blown by Kanye West’s music and production. He hopes that his music can be of help and like therapy for his listeners, just like the songs that inspired Norks were for him. Norks is an artist to watch. His latest album called “IX・XXVI・MMXX” contains 7 solid songs which has received a lot of recognition from outlets following up with his recent album “God’s Work”, and the single “From New York To Nazareth” which is available on all digital streaming platforms.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, How did you come by your stage name?

I got my stage name from my homies back in high school. I started smoking from a young age and Nork in my city means a person who is a chain smoker I was like that from a young age and so the whole city started to call me that name and I just said ok I will go with that name screw it, and for the “S” it comes from my last name.

To what or whom do you accredit your sense of style?

To be honest, my music is mostly inspired by Kanye West but other things inspire me too, like our own lifestyle. BTW, that is what mostly inspires the album. but to who I give credit  I just accredit myself because I came up with my sound and my unique style.

On your current project, how did you come up with the concept?

Look, there are a lot of things that made me like oh, hold on, I wanna do that album in this concept, one of the things was the title of the album and it means 26.9.2020  and from there everything changed. some things for the better, and some things for the worst.

And actually what made everything change was a previous relationship that changed who I am as an artist, like who is Norks? You know what I mean and yeah that relationship ended during the making of the album but other things inspired the album too like the lifestyle that started after that exact date and my city of course.

At the end of the day, I just want to thank god because who knows, without that relationship we wouldn’t get this masterpiece.

Are you the best at what you do in your opinion?

I’m not the best, yet, but I’m getting there. I know I’m gonna be at some point, like sage said in Slow Down “I’m on my road I don’t need no Waze”.

What are your plans for the near future?

I’m gonna keep releasing singles for the near future and we got some joints coming this summer.

Is there anyone you’d like to thank, any shoutouts?

First of all, I want to thank god and I would like to thank my homies for believing in me and my fans for supporting me. Huge shoutout to all the people that helped build the album and for the great work that they put in.

Join us on a thrilling journey through Tarantino’s career, from his humble beginnings to the zenith of success, uncovering the milestones that have paved the way for his substantial wealth.

Tarantino’s love affair with cinema began in Los Angeles, where he nurtured his passion for storytelling while working at a video rental store. This early exposure laid the groundwork for his distinctive cinematic style, blending pop culture, dialogue-driven narratives, and a penchant for non-linear storytelling.

The turning point arrived with his debut film, “Reservoir Dogs” (1992). Despite controversies surrounding its violence, the crime thriller catapulted Tarantino into the spotlight, establishing him as a visionary director in Hollywood.

Post-“Reservoir Dogs,” Tarantino continued to make waves with critically acclaimed and commercially successful films like “Pulp Fiction” (1994), “Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2” (2003-2004), “Inglourious Basterds” (2009), and “Django Unchained” (2012). Each release not only garnered critical acclaim but also contributed significantly to Tarantino’s ever-growing net worth.

From humble beginnings fueled by a passion for cinema to groundbreaking directorial work, Tarantino has carved out a niche uniquely his own. As we witness the maestro’s influence in various mediums, one thing is certain – Quentin Tarantino’s legacy is not just in Hollywood history but also reflected in his substantial net worth.

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.
