Interview With London-Based Australian Producer Seekay

We had the chance to chat with London-based Australian producer Seekay, who recently released several singles, all home to incredibly beautiful soundscapes, vibes, vocals, and arrangements. He talked to us about his work, the artists that inspire him, as well as his unique mindset when it comes to the meaning of art and music.
Hi Seekay, hope you are well and healthy! How are you handling the second lockdown? How are you spending your time?
Lockdown is OK for me. I tend to spend a lot of my time alone. I like a good party as much as the next guy but It’s a choice, it lets me think. Sometimes I feel I’ve lived huge tracts of my life locked down emotionally so I’m match-fit for a pandemic. Let others decide on my course. Don’t do it.
We fell in love with “Wiser,” as well as with your previous releases. Please tell us more on the meaning behind your new song, “Wiser”?
“Wiser” is a song about abuse and also when we are young or scared, how we endure It’s a song about how when we are young we often mistake abuse for “cool” and allow ourselves to be treated horrendously because of that. We meekly surrender our sense of self to others. It’s about naivety and growing. It’s about pain, lots of pain. Someone once said the only question you need to ask the other person before you getting into a relationship is “how mad are you?”. Wiser suggests you also ask “Is this person helping me be the best that I can be and am I reciprocating?” If you are being abused in any way – GET OUT NOW.
We are curious to understand the way your collaboration with Chloe works out, could you share with us some of your secrets for such a powerful chemistry?
No. I write ‘em, she sings ‘em. We go on with our lives. We have not met or spoken. I heard her voice on the internet and sent her some songs. She was gracious enough to sing on them. We go on with our lives. Like I said I’m pretty much a loner….who knows maybe she is too. Maybe there’s a connection, maybe not. It’s a song, a microscopic imprint in the fullness of time.
What is the main difference in your approach to composing the melodies on “Wiser,” “Fall,” and “Hold”?
I write thematically – “Hold” is about loneliness, “Fall” is about depression and “Wiser” is about abuse and growth. They’re an emotional trilogy. I can’t write songs without elements of relevance and authenticity to me in them. I’m patient with songs. Start and return to the same song again and again. Sometimes its days sometimes weeks or months until I feel it’s right….sometimes never.
We have read that you don’t like speaking much about your personal story but you could tell us a little bit more about how you came to produce music?
Pain. Lots and lots of it. Life. Hindsight. An inability to do anything else I consider even remotely worthwhile.
Which artists inspire you?
All of them. Musically when I’m high I’m partial to Satie’s “gymnopedie 1” on repeat with loads of compression, distortion, delay and reverb added to the basic melody. I might follow that up with some EDM or psychedelia. I usually always finish with “Gimme Shelter” by the Stones….just the intro…..the way Keith Richard weaves the instruments and vocals through the arrangement are magical. My favourite poem is “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” by T.S. Eliot . My favourite more recent poets are Galway Kinnell and Ted Hughes “Crow” even though Ted doesn’t seem to be the nicest of people. My favourite play is “Oleanna” by David Mamet and I also like Edward Albee and painters Rashid Johnson, Edward Hopper and when I’m high, Jackson Pollock and Australian First Nations painters – 60,000 years of continuous history. I used to like Lucien Freud and Francis bacon but now they just depress me. My favorite author is Patrick White and his book The Vivisector….it’s a tough read but the final third is beyond words incredible. It would never have survived the Spotify world.
Well…….you asked!
What are you currently working on? Any new projects?
I write. I think an EP soon. Who really gives a shit? If not me, someone else. People will always connect with good lyrics and music irrespective of who fronts the circus act. I write to heal (myself mainly) if it helps even one other person it’s all worth it. The Cosmic Dao is an indeterminate force or principle that latently contains all things and spontaneously generates the universe through its constant rhythmic fluctuations. Humanity will flourish only if its day, or “way,” is attuned with this. The wise is so attuned to the Dao that his actions leave no traces of themselves and so pass completely unnoticed. That’s my goal musically – for the songs to join the flow. Me, completely. Unnoticed.
Thank You Seekay!

Playboi Carti Feels “Like Weezy” as MUSIC Dominates the Streets

Playboi Carti is known for his unique style and unpredictable nature, but when he celebrates his achievements, he compares himself to one of the biggest names in hip-hop: Lil Wayne. Recently, his album MUSIC sold an impressive 500,000 copies in just two weeks, leading Carti to proclaim on social media, “FEELING LIKE WEEZY WE ALREADY PLATINUM N DA STREETS,” which means he feels as successful as Lil Wayne. Lil Wayne has greatly impacted hip-hop, and Carti has always admired him. You can see this influence in Carti’s music and style.
For example, Carti’s latest release is named after Wayne’s famous mixtape, showing just how much he looks up to the rap legend. Like Wayne, who built a massive following of loyal fans, Carti has also captivated the music scene. Interestingly, the success of MUSIC coincided with the ten-year anniversary of Carti’s first big hit, Broke Boi. A decade ago, he was just starting out, but now he is a well-established artist whose music releases are highly anticipated events. Fans are now looking forward to his upcoming album, BABY BOI. Given Carti’s history of surprising fans, it might take a while before the album drops.

But that excitement is part of what makes being a fan enjoyable. Like his promotional strategies, his previous album, Whole Lotta Red, was filled with surprises. At the same time, Lil Wayne is set to release his new album, Tha Carter VI, this year, creating an interesting parallel between the two artists. While one hip-hop icon continues his legacy, the other is making a name for himself while paying homage to the past. Regardless of when BABY BOI is released, Carti’s influence shows no signs of slowing down, and if he truly is “like Weezy,” the best is yet to come.

Quavo Sparks Excitement for Possible “Huncho Jack 2” with Travis Scott

Could 2024 be the year that Quavo and Travis Scott bring back their popular collaboration, Huncho Jack? Fans are buzzing with excitement after Quavo shared a mysterious teaser that has everyone talking. While enjoying a ride on a speedboat in Miami, Quavo played a snippet of a new song featuring Travis Scott. He hinted that a sequel to their earlier project might be on the way by posting, “Thinkin HJ2? Tag Jack.” This has sparked a lot of speculation about whether the duo is working on new music together. Fans reacted enthusiastically, flooding the comments with hope for the sequel.
One fan expressed their desire for a follow-up after seven years, while another called the original album an “underrated classic.” The first Huncho Jack project, released in December 2017, stood out with its catchy tunes and the natural chemistry between Quavo and Travis Scott. It debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, selling 90,000 copies in its first week and topping the R&B/Hip-Hop and Rap charts. The project also included contributions from Quavo’s Migos bandmates, Offset and Takeoff, adding even more depth to the collaboration. With Takeoff’s passing in 2022, revisiting Huncho Jack feels both poignant and a way to honor his legacy.

Now, seven years later, fans feel that a sequel is more important than ever. Both Quavo and Travis have grown as artists, Quavo is adapting to life after Migos, while Travis continues to break new musical ground with his latest work, Utopia. A second Huncho Jack album could blend their personal growth with their skills in making exciting and innovative music. The ball is now in Travis Scott’s court. Quavo has clarified that he’s ready to roll, but will Travis join him? Fans are eagerly waiting and won’t stop until these two come together to deliver the sequel they’ve been dreaming of for years.
