What Sort of Inspiration Got you Started in Writing Music at 11 ?

"Well I've always had this hobby where I make up tunes and freestyle choruses even before I knew I was doing it. I remember this one time I was hanging out with my older cousin and his friends, they started freestyling and just having this fun rap session so I joined them and realized I'm actually not bad at this. As soon as I got home I wrote my first song. "-A2

As of now he has around 30 new songs he plans on dropping some of them sometime in July 2017. Whether a full EP or steady Singles? Only time will tell.. The singles however are legit.

We think that AceQuared has a unique style of music that is more New School which is great because music is starting to have substance. The New School Wave has raw talent w/ lyrics and solid sounding beats. We asked him about his thoughts on the current state of hip-hop as well as about music marketing-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Personally I think there are ups and downs to where music is right now especially rap music. The down side is the unfortunate truth. I will not generalize, but most people would rather listen to a song about money and women with lyrics that don't even make sense instead of deep meaningful lyrics. On the other hand I also believe that rappers who do know about the consequences of their words and are students of the game have progressed and made rap much more powerful than previous generations of rappers. "

"... We are not only what we eat, we're what we listen to as well...I also rap about money and women it's part of the culture, but that doesn't mean I should only do that. (as for question on marketing)--- I do have my music on Spotify, iTunes and other sources. With consistency, marketing my music naturally taught me a lot about the industry and how it works like the do's and dont's but I'm still a student learning and I hope to learn much more with time."

We asked him some personal questions about his creative process and you can see on his Youtube Channel he will get out of his comfort zone to write and record. Recording out the house etc. Many artists have problems writing music and can get writer's block. He explained to us the importance of having a special place to be at when you write, but to get out of your comfort zone as well. We find everyday we can get stuck into routines, the best way to gain control sometimes is to let it go and try something else.

All of us can use some consistency and persistence in our lives. Also to get over what people think of us. Caring too much about what people think will only lead to people w/ that same feeling. AceQuared told us that a factor in his own persistence is to get over caring what people think. That can be one of the biggest hurdles in life or as an artist. When you have a clear vision and knowing what you want to do overcoming that hurdle. Jump over that hurdle to keep moving and building.
