HONK: Let’s kick things off by getting to know each other a bit better. Tell us your name, age, and where you’re from—as much or as little as you’re comfortable sharing.

jCrizzy: I go by jCrizzy, and I’m from the Bay (Northern California). I was born in Queens, NY, and spent some of my childhood overseas in the Philippines. I’ve been pursuing my passion for some time now, and I’m hoping to share my music with more and more people. Rapping, Singing, Production, engineering—I love every little step of the pursuit. I’m blessed to be able to create music and chase my dreams.

HONK: We all need good advice from time to time. What’s the best advice you’ve ever received about music?

jCrizzy: Be patient and lay the foundation brick by brick, layer by layer.

HONK: If you could go back in time, what would you do differently based on what you know now?

jCrizzy: I would probably not be so trusting and understand that not everyone is out there with your best interests in mind.

HONK: We all face challenges, but what’s your biggest one yet?

jCrizzy: I think my biggest challenge at this point is trying to position myself to be able to help those around me.

HONK: What keeps you motivated and moving forward when things get tough in the music industry?

jCrizzy: I think that when it comes down to it, I just love the whole process and everything that comes with it. Though expectations can get you down at times, love always gets me through.

HONK: If you had the chance to open a show for any artist, who would it be and why?

jCrizzy: I think an opening for someone like Ed Sheeran would be incredible. Just the experience alone of being on a tour of that magnitude would be everything!

HONK: Take us through your creative process. How do you come up with your excellent work?

jCrizzy: Creativity, for me, happens randomly. Thank God for voice memos and notes. Once I get into my creative space, I listen back or look at what I have and try to build something from there. When I have a lot of free time, I also like to just sit and let things go where they may.

HONK: We all struggle with productivity and scheduling at times. How do you tackle these issues and stay on top of things?

jCrizzy: I always make sure to save some time out of each day to focus on my passion, no matter how long it is. When I start to feel like I’m stuck creatively, I just go and live life for a bit, and life seems to keep inspiring me every time.

HONK: What are you currently focusing your time and energy on?

jCrizzy: Right now, I have a few songs I’ve been working on and chipping away at. I feel like music is somewhat like sculpting; you just keep refining and shaping the sound until it gets to where you want it to be.

HONK: What’s your take on the state of “Your genre” in the industry right now?

jCrizzy: Music is in a beautiful place. Making music is so accessible now that you can find magic everywhere you turn. People can now make hits on their phones!
