Why this name?
I've started using the name Barbarossa lately because it means red beard......and I have one, plus it sounds cool.
Do you play live?
Nope. I don't rap and don't own any turn tables, so playing live is out of the question.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It gives EVERYBODY an opportunity to be heard, when before, getting your name out there depended on who you knew. It's both good and bad. Quality music has become harder to find, because a lot of people are watering down the market with their shitty songs...... But, it has raised the competition and has allowed no names with no contacts (like me) to have a chance to be heard.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
There are certain labels that I'd be reluctant to sign with no matter how much $ they were offering, but that's easy to say when I'm sitting on my ass writing this.. I guess I wouldn't know the answer to that question until a check and contract was in front of me. Ideally though, I'd love to sign with a indie label that's putting out good music and gives their artists freedom to make the music they want to make.
Band History:
Not much history.. I started making beats when I was 16. I'm 20 now.
Your influences?
Dilla, Dangermouse, Prince Paul, 9th Wonder, Kanye, too many
Favorite spot? Venice Beach, NYC (never been), ATX, Houston
Equipment used: FL Studio 9.. that's it
