Shizanami
I'm an 18 year old producer from Dubai
I fell in love with hiphop at a very young age
And once I started listening to more underground tapes, I became a fan of the production style of the genre.
J Dilla and Alchemist are huge inspirations to me, they're the reason I started music.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Was introduced to hiphop back in 08/09 by my older brother. Always liked the genre but never rapped or produced anything. Until it was 2018 when I discovered Westside Gunn and Conway the Machine. They're music in particular along with J Dilla pushed me towards a career in music.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
A few times when I was younger, was pretty good.
Your musical influences
My biggest influence is J Dilla. I love chopping up samples, I love the lofi sound but I also love a dark sound, and that comes from The Alchemist.
Apart from them 2, Eminem and Westside Gunn
Unreal MCs, prolly my 2 fav rappers ever
What equipment do you use?
It's just my mind and my laptop.
