To get better acquainted with ATM and his music, check out the Q&A we did with him, below.
(HNHH) Where are you from? How has your home influenced your sound/style?
(ATM) I’m from Queens, NYC. Of all the boroughs in NYC, Queens is the melting pot. Every neighborhood has a different culture. The lyricist that Queens has produced need no introduction. There are legacies to uphold coming from Queens, intentionally or not.
Describe your sound in three words.
Honest. Lyrical. Personal.
How old are you? Does age matter to music?
I’m 34. I think that age matters if you’re searching for the truth. My truth is different at 34, then it was at 21. My perspective of the world has changed. My experiences give me wisdom that I didn’t have in my youth.
What’s the last album you listened to?
Name your top 3 biggest influences.
- God
- Jay-z
- Muhammad Ali
Name your dream collaboration.
Produced by Kanye West.
If you could only listen to one album for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Victory Lap
What’s your favorite hip-hop sub-genre at the moment?
Gangster Rap is still my go-to sub genre. Those artists still speak most to my spirit. I can relate more to those emotions and stories, than in any other genre. I also search for the wisdom i can extract in the allegory, of any piece of art that was made honestly. I listen to artists who are honest with themselves and it come across when you hear it, you feel it.
Be sure you go check out ATM’s music in the HNHH x TuneCore “Heat Seekers” playlist, below. We also urge you to stay tuned to HNHH as we will be bringing you more TuneCore “Heat Seekers” winners soon.
