What do you think of when you hear the name Quasje? You probably think of a young, talented, up and coming artist that resides in Palm Springs, California.I sing, rap, write, and I'm currently learning how to produce. I am 17 years old and I am also a SENIOR in high school. Anyway, I have been through many difficult obstacles in my time of being on this earth. When I was faced with harsh and cruel decisions, I'd think of a song to help me get through it. During long car rides, all I can remember when I look back is the song that was playing in the background. I never really understood why music had such an enormous impact in my life until last year in November. Growing up in the desert basically made me enjoy and embrace music even more because that's all we got out here. I've always wanted to find something that defines me. Like, I play basketball and everything but that's not guaranteed that I'll make a lot of money doing that in the future. All I ever wanted to do is show my talents to the world and become the best person I can be, both mentally and psychically. I guess you can call me a trendsetter, but I'm not cocky so you can be the judge of that. Anyway, I have been writing songs for 3 years now and I didn't start recording until November 2008. Trust me, I know people probably don't like me because of my personality or basically jealousy. But it's cool because I'm gonna prove them wrong and show them that I am gonna make it in this music stuff with or without them by my side. I've ran across my fair share of fake people in my life as well. They think all because I'm actually starting to get recognized by some record companies that I'm going to be their best friend while they sit back and enjoy the ride. Shoot, I don't think so! Some people recently decided to attempt to be my "friend" ,"buddy", or whatever...but I know who's really been here for me and who hasn't. So to get off of that note, please enjoy the songs on my page and let me know exactly what you think. And if you ever wanna collab write me in a message and we can go from there.
Why this name?
Well its my birth name plus it's unique so I called it a day, haha.
Do you play live?
I haven't had the opportunity to have an actual performance yet but I'm planning on doing so soon.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It changes the industry alot. Now artists have to put 200% more effort into what they do in order to get noticed due to illegal downloading of music. So the only way you can get full recognition for what you do is by writing and producing your own music and perform live for public audiences.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Heck yeah! lol Why not? I'd love to sign to a major label but you have to make sure your gonna get something out of it as well as feel comfortable with where you at.
Band History:
40+ Songs
Produced 10+ songs
Make Beats from [jerk to slow melodies]
Your influences?
Keri Hilson is a big influence on my music. She is my idol. Her style is very unique and her voice is distinct from other artists. Another influence of mine is Ciara. From her dancing to her voice, nobody can top her stage presence she brings to her fans. Both of these artists have a heavy impact on my music and I look forward to what they have in store for the rest of their career.
Favorite spot?
Palm Springs even though it's boring there lol I love the scenery.
