DJ Interviews: Lord Vynil

Here's my interview with singer.gamer Lord Vynil who sat down with me to share his musical beginnings, enjoy,


My name is Lord Vryll, hailing from the Bronx,NY but now in Watertown,NY so i guess i hail from there now. My music is definitely somewhere around Hyperpop,Hyperrap,Rap,Trap,Rock, somewhere there i’d like to think. I got started with music in 2019, Juice Wrld, my biggest inspiration and the reason i got started at the time had just passed and i was simply only messing with the idea with a friend, playing in a makeshift band i was tryna get started in college and really exploring options as school wasn’t for me, i was holding up a promise i knew i didn’t wanna keep, and then shortly after that my great aunt passed, devastating everyone in my family and being the source to my very first song. From there i just kept making music.

My main inspirations? Kinda change depending on my situation, my main inspiration are Juice Wrld, Ericdoa, MGK, Avenged Sevenfold with some like random inspirations throughout like the month or something, like my own “flavor of the month” type deal. Those would be people like Skaiwater, Riovaz, Glaive, Ken Carson, Uzi, Eminem (kinds flip flops with him he’s my number one favorite artist) and others. 

Advice i’d give is 3 pieces a friend gave me whom i just met recently and i got from Bryson Tiller. The first is “Just Poop it out”, whether you like it or not, just put it out. Don’t wait for it to be “perfect” or whatever, just put it out, see where it goes, it never hurts to see, if it goes no where, oh well you got another try, if it does go somewhere then capitalize on that, its your moment! The second is don’t rely on those close to you heavily cause chances are they care, just not on the level you will or ever will. That random one person or friend or time anyone speaks up and says something, go for it, “Don’t” got uploaded, taken down cause it got no traction and Bryson’s friend instantly asked what happened to is cause he was showing it to some people and they were loving the song, don’t block yourself from possible blessings. The last is from myself, the internet is not real, people are bitter 25/8, don’t take nothing said bad personal, the average attention span is shortening faster and faster so its easier to be quickly negative cause something hasn’t hooked someone. “Never judge a book by it’s cover” lost it’s meaning years ago, now your cover has to be your climax essentially, ruining the book, don’t give in. Be you.

How do i set myself apart? By never releasing music lol. No but in all seriousness that’s a problem i have myself where since i put something out and “it goes nowhere” because i didn’t tell people, i didn’t promo, whatever my case or excuse i pull out may be, thats my biggest issue, i’m waiting for a miracle i need to make happen, not just life. Other than that, i feel as if my cadence is what sets me apart, i may end up using the same flow but my vocal inflections for certain beats and vibes i think are un-matched. My favorite story to tell is a time i recorded a song that wont ever come out with my brothers and his ex at the time, and i had no idea what my verse was gunna be as i was going next. So i used a scraped Ski-Mask like song, mind you this song is a drill song damn near, a category i’ve never dabbled in, changed my delivery and voice a bit and it was the hardest verse on the song according to everyone, all because i basically yelled on the mic causing my brother wanting to go in after me, and finish out the song in the same way. Now a-lot of his songs including some form of yelling in his own variation of course, but that’s thanks to me (i’m claiming all that credit idgaf) (shout out Plutooo @Just.Plutooo on instagram) .

Any new gigs or albums? Songs coming yes, albums? I don’t know about that, at-least not yet. Gigs? I wanna get back into doing more open mics to get my name bigger and go from there, but we’ll see. I just had my first child so time’s a bit limited but we’ll see!

DJ Interviews: DK (Diamond King)

Here's my interview with singer/music producer Diamond King


-Ive been doing music all my life.Growing up at age 9 watching my Pops and uncles do they thang caught my attention.I Write,Mix,Master,& Make my own beats.


-Lil wayne is my inspiration because he reaches out to everybody in his music nomatter what TOPIC the song is about.Wayne motivates me to the fact that only you are in control of how far your music goes in the game,If anyone as a artist today have the patience to create a song and record it,then He or Her gotta want to become somebody enough to put a lil tlc behind that track and promote it Dedicationis the Key to alot of upcoming artist today.

Advice for other performers, Rehearsal as much as possible. Always pray before you go on stage and always keep the energy level as litt as possible.The crowd is your everything once infront of them lights.

Me myself i always keep me some headphones with my music only! I'll never rent space in my head for another artist to take me off track.I't took me a while to find myself as of who ive become today. Either I was to nervouse thinking my music not good enough or will i get booed off stage,
Quote:Always give 110% fuck what anybody else think of me or have to say because doing good or bad youll always get talked about.

Rite now far as DK ima continue flooding the web and streets with the Hottest shit. No i dont want to sighn to anybody,Im trying to make this Diamond King label Grow Bigger. Independent artist like BIG X THE PLUG,
RIP Take-Off But Migos,Young Thug,gucci,Tpain,TI & So many more Is winnin the long way. I want that whole 100% check.

I was born in a small town called Fort White fl only 1 traffic light in it. To make it out of that place doing something major in life is abnormal. Im doin this for my SON, MY MOMMA, BROTHERmy Pops and all my day ones who kept it real when i was fucked up,They kno who they are.

DJ Interviews: FirexNight

Hey there guys  DJ Dizzy here & here's my interview with the band FirexNight


How'd you get started in music?

- my dad was big into music and it was always a pretty big deal
To me but really started to get into writing in high school playing music with friends

- funny story, I am very into classic rock as you’ll see below, when I was growing my dad would let me choose the radio station but I could only pick between Christian music and classic rock radio so I would pick classic rock every time so that’s where my love of older rock music started 

Who are your inspirations or influences?

- I really like all flavors of rock music to some extent, love pop and hip hop too but some big influences for me are:

- Van Halen
- Blink-182
- Fleetwood Mac
- the Beatles 
- the killers 
- 1975
- Def Leppard 

And then some more non rock acts I like to throw flavors of in there to spice things up:
- Carley Rae Jensen
- Charlie XcX
- Nelly 
- Lil Jon/Dr Dre from a production standpoint cause they do great work
- lady Gaga/ Taylor swift 

Really if I had to condense my music down I’d say it’s 70s-80s popular rock bands + 2000s pop punk + a pinch of 2010s girl pop are the primary eras I’m gunning for 

What advice would you offer aspiring performers?

- I’m actually working on a YouTube series sort of about making music at home and tips and tricks for beginners —- 

- I would say though “music production is songwriting” is the biggest thing, your music is only as good as the final mix so getting comfortable mixing and mastering is big, and also once you get better at that stuff it can elevate your song writing game. I’m still not amazing at producing my own music but took some time to learn how to do it better and it’s made a world of difference so that would be my top option. you don’t have to wait around for someone to notice your talent and produce songs for you if you can do it yourself! 

How do you set yourselves apart from other bands or singers?

- I think I have an ear for fun catchy music - it’s a lot to ask people to try a new band out I know that myself so I try to make music that leaves you in a good mood and is memorable, I try to put a lot of easily memorable parts for audience so they can pick up on the songs quick etc 

Any new gigs or albums in the future?

- working on a full Album! “Dive Bar” planning 10-12 songs for it and hope to be done in 2024! Will be on Spotify and SoundCloud and apple etc!
