Today, we have an inspiring and honest interview with one of the rockstars in our Audius community - smoovethegreat!
Making music makes me feel good, and I like how I can create something new every time!
My brother was the one who introduced me to Audius. I started using it and discovered so many different things that I loved about the platform. I then joined the Discord/Telegram chats and shared my first song “Rara.” What I love about the community is how engaging everyone is! The people are dope and it’s a good platform to build an authentic following.
Drake, Kanye West, The Notorious B.I.G and Bob Marley.
Yeah, it’s hard. Apple Music, Spotify, and a lot of the big streaming platforms don’t necessarily pay artists at all. The industry is broken because a lot of artists can’t make a living from their music. I think the solution largely depends on the existing contracts between artists, music companies, and streaming platforms.
When I first heard the beat, it connected with me. Before I went to the studio that day I was watching some world news and I’m just thinking how crazy the world is. For some reason that’s what popped up on my mind when I freestyled the hook and the verses of the song.
Drake, Post Malone, Travis Scott. All three of them are amazing and they are some of my favorites that I listen to everyday.
It’s heading somewhere for sure! Web 3 is slowly growing. I can see Audius becoming very big in the next few years taking over some of the traditional streaming platforms.
