cicero
Indie musically, my life lyrically...everything i am, want, don't have, wish was, love, hate, and happened to be on my mind.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
7 years ago I began as hiphop producer, then ended up the artist behind the mic and my own beats. I always liked making more creative and layered instrumentals, then i picked up the guitar and wanted to create more of a live sound. I started transition to rock, and ended up with a fusion on my albums somewhere between genres. 80s new wave and 70s rock became big influences helping to widen the scope of my sound and its everything and only me at once.
Your musical influences
I like to study music, what worked for thers or maybe did't work. I listen to the beatles trying to figure out what made an entire generation love them. Led Zeppelin for their musicianship. Pink floyd for their sonic journey. Duran Duran, Danger Mouse, Coldplay, Wu-tang, Slick Rick for his stories, Rakim for his wordsmithing, the Strokes, the Bravery, the Who, Gorillaz, Muse and others.
What equipment do you use?
Fantom, onyx mixer, live percussion, guitars and toys.
