An Exclusive Interview With Juno Central AKA Mazi

Industry need artists like JUNO CENTRAL with good sounds, lyrics etc. We got a chance to talk with the Rap & RnB artist from Decatur, Ga known as Juno Central.

Tell us who you are, where you’re from and what you do for a living?

I go by Juno Central but my friends call me Mazi. Raised in Decatur, Ga but I’ve been living in the Stockbridge-Conyers area for about ten years now. I’m a full time artist with a day job to help invest back into music.

Tell us your story from before the music, when did it all start?

All I knew was jazz and gospel from my parents growing up. When I was 10 my aunt was the pastor at our family church and she wanted to get the kids more involved so five of my cousins & I made a gospel rap group lol. That was my first time even hearing anything hip hop & I instantly caught on. My older cousin started showing me videos, taught me how to make beats, and really put me on to everything. I just got better and the rest was history.

What were the struggles you faced trying to get your music out there in the beginning?

Trying to find my sound, definitely. I love all music like my playlist can go from Chief Keef to Coldplay really fast. So me wanting to test different sounds/images was sort of stopping me from creating a solid fan base at first because my content was inconsistent. I had to find out what main lane I wanted to be in and then I could branch off.

Which song was that one?

“Drippy”. That song was a whole vibe and everybody loved it.

When it blew up what was the first thing you thought?

I told my friend Terrian (who is featured on the song) that it could really do numbers but I had some life stuff going on around that time so we couldn’t push it financially like we wanted to. But people have made videos, added to playlists and all that and it was a great feeling.People still sing it til this day lol. Its cool but it’s way more heat on the way.

Do you collaborate with artists that you listen to?

Yes I have to enjoy your music to work with you for real. I feel like the best product comes when you have good chemistry with another artist & I vibe with talent. It’s way too many that’s on my list mainstream but as far as locally of course.

How many artists have you collaborated with so far?

Kid Jemini, Tray Bills, RioSavv, Slxmm, King Nuu, and Cvlii are the most common but it’s way more. Probably over 20 including paid features.

How big is your team?

BGM (my team) just started rebranding this year so everything is changing right now but I’m always with the same 8 main people. From our photographer KicksOnWater to my engineer Cept, it’s all family.

What is the best part of doing what you’re doing and what’s the part you hate most?

I do this for Of course I want to be rich but I do it for the thrill of the chase. The performances, late night sessions, the culture , I love it all. But the one thing I could say I hate is how shady it can be. A lot of people don’t want to see you win so you just have to watch how you move. It’s a part of the game though.

Are you addicted to something? And what would that be?

Music and anything related to Atlanta, thats my passion. But my friends would probably say I’m addicted to wrestling and adidas lol. Can’t argue about it though.

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.
