We caught up with QC to talk about his music. At Indiy we champion musicians.
Let's get to it...
The flexibility to create the music I want, how I want it, and when I want it.
As an independent artist, the control I have over the success or otherwise of my brand is motivation and spur and it definitely has a different sense of fulfilment when the rewards come i.e my songs being added to a playlist.
I have a mini studio that I work in at home.
My microphone is like my sword going to war, I take extra care of it and I perfect my songs with an in-studio engineer.
I enjoy all the faucets to being an artist. As a creative, watching an idea come to life physically is a testament to every human being's natural capabilities. I enjoy recording, producing, promoting my songs, and seeing people's reactions and I am most definitely looking forward to live performances.
Pac told me to Go, Nip told me to run...I am telling my stories on this mic, going for mine, no matter the obstacle!
I plan my releases and as an artist, I keep my projects thematic.
I am currently working on my first full body of work, a 6 track project and I am not disclosing the name yet hahaha!
And hopefully, gigs start again after this pandemic! I am so excited for my first gig (throwing it into the universe).
I have the video for Go in the pipelines and that should be dropping before the end of February.
I have a couple of producers like Mr Kevin and I have linked up with Strangerthings, a Canadian producer via soundcloud which was a humbling moment really.
Life generally, the things I have been through.
The greatest human act is to inspire!
All material I put out has its foundation based on deliberately touching a soul to go and do better for themselves, regardless of obstacles.
What are your top three favorite albums of all time?
Crenshaw - Nipsey Hussle
