Creeze: I’m originally from Louisville, KY but I currently live Phoenix, AZ

IndiePulse – What inspired you to become a musical Artist?

Creeze: As a child I played the trumpet in grade school and that grew into production. I always had an ear for it, in class I would be in space thinking of drum patterns, etc instead of paying attention to my teacher. But Naude and Lucky 7, my childhood friends were actually the ones that broke me out of shell.

IndiePulse – Can you describe your creative process for writing new material?

Creeze: It can happen at any time but normally I take notes of the song and when the right track presents itself, I’ll write the hook and add verses later. When I got a beat, someone has sent and I’m feeling that shit, I’ll write the hook, verses and record that shit the same day. I’ve got a studio at the crib I like recording on the late-night hours don’t know why just do. Then I sent it over to my engineer to bring to life.

IndiePulse – How do you handle creative blocks?

Creeze: I might smoke, walk away give it a break and spend time with the family or with my boys to reset the process.
