Young Miz is an artists and Cleveland native holding it down in the ATL right now. I am personally a fan. The quality and creativity in his music is something the midwest needs right now. Check him out. 216 is in the building!
Who are your musical infuences?
MY MAJOR INFLUENCES IN THE INDUSTRY OF MUSIC CHANGES AS I EVOLVE AS AN ARTIST BUT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ALWAYS GOING TO HAVE THE BIGGEST INLUENCES IS JAY-Z, KANYE, PHARRELL, SADE, ANITA BAKER, TONI BRAXTON, NOTORIOUS BIG, 2PAC, LUPE FIASCO, LILY ALLEN, MGMT & THE KILLERS

What are your opinions on the midwest rap movement, Cleveland especially?
I REALLY LIKE WHAT THE MID-WEST HAS OFFERED THE INDUSTRY OF MUSIC. I FEEL AS THE THE MID-WEST HAS OFFERED SOME OF THE MOST CREATIVE AND INNOVATIVE ARTISTS OF OUR GENERATION >> KANYE, COMMON, LUPE, EMINEM, KID CUDI, BONE, TWISTA, NELLY AS FAR AS A MAINSTREAM LEVEL. THERE ARE DEFINITELY ARTISTS FROM CLEVELAND THAT I CAN SAY THAT I APPRECIATE BUT BESIDES MYSELF AND MY TEAM (DREEM PRODUCTIONS) I WOULD HAVE TO SAY BEFORE CUDI >> CHIP THA RIPPER HAS MADE THE HUGEST IMPACT ON THE WHOLE STATE OF OHIO BUT DEFINITELY THE TOP OF OHIO. I ALSO REALLY LIKE YOUNG SHANK AND FOR SOME TIME I WAS ROCKIN WITH COREY BAPES. I FEEL THERE IS INNOVATION THAT VARIES FROM ACT 2 ACT BUT IM VERY CONFIDENT IN SAYING THAT I WILL BE THE TYPE OF ARTIST TO NOT ONLY PLEASE YOUR EAR BUT MAKE YOU THINK AND RE-EVALUATE HOW YOU LISTEN TO MUSIC AND WHAT TYPE OF MUSIC YOU SHOULD EXPECT/ACCEPT.
If you could only choose one CD to have with u for the rest of your Life, what would it be and why?
IF I COULD CHOOSE 1 PIECE OF WORK TO HAVE RIGHT NOW, THE 1ST THING THAT WOULD COME TO MY MIND IS >> DRAKES "SO FAR GONE" MIXTAPE. I SAY THIS RIGHT NOW BECAUSE KID CUDI'S DEBUT ALBUM COMES OUT IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND I HAVENT HEARD IT TO RUN WITH THAT BUT DRAKE BROUGHT A GREAT COLLECTION OF SONGS WITH THAT PROJECT. ITS NOT A SOLID RAP PROJECT THERE IS A GREAT FUSION OF ALOTTA DIFFERENT TYPES OF GENRE AND I THINK HIS ABILITY TO EXECUTE THE SONGS HE WRITES ARE PHENOMENA

As far as fashion goes, what item or clothing brand is a must have in your wardrobe right now?
AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE IM STILL JUST A YOUNG ARTIST TRYING TO BE HEARD SO IM PUTTING MORE FINANCIAL FOCUS ON MYSELF AS A BRAND THAN BLOWING ALOT OF MONEY ON CERTAIN ACCESSORIES AND ARTICLES OF CLOTHING BUT, I WOULD HAVE 2 SAY I SPENT A COUPLE OF DAYS IN NEW YORK LAST WEEK AND I SAW THIS LEATHER JACKET THAT I INTEND ON GETTING WHEN I GO BACK FOR FASHION WEEK. IT WAS NOTHING SUPER EXPENSIVE IT WAS A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS. MY 2ND CHOICE WOULD BE LOUIS VUITTON ZIPPER WALLET.

How do you stand out musically from everyone else in the game right now? What is your specialty?
I WOULD SAY THE WAY THAT I STAND OUT FROM OTHER ARTISTS IS MY ABILITY TO BE FEARLESS OF CHALLENGE AND TRY NEW THINGS. BEFORE THERE WAS EVER AN 808'S & HEARTBREAK OR A DAY'N'NITE I WAS EXPERIMENTING WITH MY RANGE OF VOCAL. I WANT TO INVEST IN A VOCAL COACH BUT EVEN BEYOND MELODY I WANT TO DELVE DEEPER INTO OTHER GENRES SUCH AS ALTERNATIVE, POP AND MAYBE EVEN SOME SOFT ROCK. I MAKE ALOTTA HEARTFELT HONEST MUSIC FROM PAST EXPERIENCE AND PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY BUT I ALSO MAKE MUSIC THAT JUST FEELS AND SEEMS FUN OR CREATIVE TO ME. I THINK THAT IS THE BIGGEST SEPARATION OF MY MUSIC.
