"Yeah ya know I'm the Rap Attack, the woman thats got tha real thang hapnin all the time, you'll only eva be searching hi and low. Up down, round n round, what's mine is mine!"
Why this name?
Well I didn't choose the name. My sister saw me on top of a table Popping and locking to a Whodini song, "Mr Magic's Wand". There are words in the song that go "She's not havin a heart attack man, she's havin a Rap Attack". So the name stuck!
Do you play live?
Yes, wherever and whenever I get a chance in Sydney!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Yes it has. At least now I have a wider contact with people on the other side of the world where Hip Hop is more popular than here in Sydney.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes if I could still have control over the whole process.
Band History:
Well I started rapping in 1985(on the mic) but was freestyling out in the open for years before that. We didn't know what we were doing back then. I really was focused on my bgirling and popping(and other Funk Styles) back then. Age set in and I can't break like I used to so rapping is the main focus now. Getting that demo done so I can upload some songs with my lyrics and approach record companies.
Your influences?
Hardcore Hip Hop, Jazz, Funk. Mc Lyte, Erik B & Rakim, Lord Finesse etc
Favorite spot?
Sydney....MMMmmm maybe Bronte for late night swims with my friend!
Equipment used:
Well the programs I use to make music are Protools, Acid Pro 4, Hip Hop 2&4, Audacity, Cool Edit 2000. Trying out Linux stuff these days as that is the OS I use now. So it's Audacity, Hydrogen, Ardour etc. Would love to have someone tell me how to get Jack happening in Linux. Yes I have tried all the forums, help pages and lists.
Anything else...?
Well I always have something to say. You will hear it in the songs!
