The Golden Rule: Make the music You Wish to HearBand/artist history
Who Is Polaris InI? Born in Gastonia, NC, Polaris InI is the epitome of a southern lyricist. On the level of other versatile emcees like Talib Kweli and Nas, Polaris portrays the realities of his existence through articulate, thought provoking lyrics that manage to meld the life of the artist w/ the life of the listener. Polaris was introduced to Hip-Hop culture at a very young age. His ability to freestyle effortlessly set him apart from his peers giving him the opportunity to perform locally. At age 15, Polaris, then Lord Adagio, made his first professional recording, "The Phunkadelic Mizfit." After graduating from high school, Polaris enrolled at The University of North Carolina at Charlotte. While at UNCC, Polaris, then known by his attribute Universal, performed with notable stars and battled all comers while amassing a solid fan base and numerous flawless victories. In 1998, Polaris graduated from UNCC with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and a rekindled love for music. The battle tested emcee began to hone his warrior-like, freestyle technique into songs overflowing with intelligence, humor, fact and fiction. In the winter of 2000, this became the foundation for Polaris' debut album "Great Expectations Vol. 1 My Pain, My Heart, My Pen..." His amazing ability to create vivid pictures of a phenomenally wide range of subject matter is quickly spreading his name in musical circles throughout the country. With lyrics that are the equivalent of a constant news report on the human race, Polaris is poised to etch his name into the annals of Hip-Hop history.Have you performed in front of an audience?Yes. Well I'm starting to sharpen the balde and do more. Just did my first one in three plus years. When I do perform it's locally in N.C. And my special moment happened so long ago that I just focus on making each opportunity in the future a special one.
Your musical influences
I'm often compared to Nas, Rakim, Common, Talib Kweli, Sadat X and Tupac. Life and family are my inspirations for creating music.What equipment do you use?
A door which I leaved crack to let the Most High enter. :-) I record on Pro Tools. My producers use a variety of equipment to create the landscaped they provide for me. To write, I use black lead pencils an kill a lot of trees.Anything else?
Support the type of music you want to hear or don't complain about the music that surfaces as the face of your culture yet remain open to all. Good music comes in many forms.
