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!
