Kamil) Hey Ozzient, super nice to have the chance to chat with you. What first got you into music?
What first got me into music was the different combinations of sounds that can be blended together to make entire new ones and the feeling of making music has always been very exciting to me since I was a little kid.
Describe your favorite and least favorite part about being a musician.
Favorite part about being a musician is the process of getting from one sound or simple instrumentation to whole track, mixing different sounds & instruments. The least favorite part about being a musician would have to be the time being spent outside of the studio, haha
Your latest song is 'Feelin' A Vibe'. Can you share with us the background of its creation and did any unusual things happen during its creation?
When creating "Feelin' A Vibe" I went with a goal of making a track that could potentially be played at bars, nightclubs, events, parties, etc. To make a song that can potentially start to make the people dance, enjoy the music & have fun.
How do you differ from most other artists?
I differ from other artists in the way that I just produce the tracks & I gather the artists together on the same track. I want my musical talents to be heard as well as also helping out up-and-coming artists with their vision.
Where are you from and do you have a stable home or do you prefer travelling?
I'm from the Chicago area & I have a steady home at the moment but I'd like to travel a lot more frequently in the future!
How would you describe the music that you typically create?
I usually tend to make beats/instrumentals for rappers, singers in a variety of genres; mostly pertaining to Hip-Hop, Rap, Trap, R&B, EDM, Pop, & Lo-Fi. I love to challenge myself to make other types of genres as well as also mixing & blending different genres together.
How do you nurture your own creativity?
I nurture my own creativity by making sure that all the sounds in the track have been properly taken care off when it comes to adding texture to the sound itself as well as also making sure the sound design is unique and not overbearing the rest of it.
If you could go open a show for any artist who would it be?
I honestly don't know who I would open for since I don't do any of the singing nor rapping, I just produce the tracks, haha
Who's your ideal musician to collaborate with and why?
My ideal musicians to collaborate would have to be Eminem, Jack Harlow, KSI, Bad Bunny, J Balvin, Kendrick Lamar, Wiz Khalifa, J Cole, Snow Da Product plus a few more. As to why it would have to be because of their sound & style. I've been listening to them and they always put out great tracks, their punchlines and rhyme schemes are always on point.
What are your plans for the future?
My plans for the future I guess would have to have my brand & sound out there & make it more reachable to a larger audience. To be able to work with a lot more rappers & singers.
