What artists made you want to make music?

I started out making singer-songwriter music inspired by Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie alongside contemporary artists such as Field Medic. I was also into rap music at the time and made alternative cloud rap you could call it within a collective of friends. However my music truly became me when I started completely producing for myself and the sounds are just an evocation of my feelings through the medium of post-industrial horrorcore rap or outsider music.

I have come to find my music aligns with that which is inspired by Current 93 and Death in June as I take similar folk and horror references to create purely these emotions most try to keep hidden.

How did that collaboration with Bassvictim come about?

I have known them since before they existed, Maria showed me on her phone the blueprints of this idea “bassvictim” or “basspunk” Idk. I booked them for a show in Berlin and pulled up to this dingy old art studio space, recorded my verse off a yerc onto whoever’s laptop. I can’t remember the order of things but Ike spliced it together into “Canary Wharf Freestyle.”

Tell us about the history of Swagchella.

It did its thing, shone a light onto a lot of talented artists and their work.

What’s the scene like in London right now?

There’s more than one scene going on at the moment I kinda just want to see them all meet. I find it hard to keep up with everything though these days.

Do you like to make music in an altered state?
