exclusive interview on georgia based artist “linko” - linko lyrics
what was your inspiration to start making music ?
* being able to express myself in a creative way is a big thing for me . so when i found an outlet via music , it took over and i never looked back
when did you start making music how old are you and where are you based ?
*i was 17 recording in a closet ,i just turned 22 a week ago and i’m based in atlanta , georgia
what are 3 tips you have for upcoming artist that wanna get into music ?
* just knowing you were created equal with every other human is reassuring because if i can do it , or anyone else can * you can as wеll
also just put the time in man , you have to rеally love this to consistently work everyday and be okay with seeing no gain. do it for the love. if you love it that’s your super power , use your love to develop consistency and never look back
what is it about you that is different from other artist ?
i’ve just always stayed true to myself and i feel like my style and sound is unorthodox in comparison to what’s been trending . i know my time is coming as a creative and soon i’ll be on the forefront of curating what’s popular
what are your goals with being an artist ?
making an impact on people’s life by showing them you can achieve and be anything you want to be
if you told me i’d be here a 2 years ago i would’ve never believed it . i want people to know anything is possible regardless of what societal norms are. be you to your fullest extent
where do you see yourself 5 years from now
selling out arenas with everyone i love healthy and happy * everyone i came into the game with successful in their own life and just enjoying the fruits of my labor . making my permanent mark on the world. it’s coming
how did you come up with your name ?
friends of mine would play 2k with each other often and i’d pick the all time jazz * on that team they had a player by the name of kirilenko
i needed a rap name one day and i just had the name on my mind . used the back end of his last name because it sounded cool * i wanted something with 2 syllables that was unheard of * yet still a name
what’s your message to the youth ?
*do whatever you want because you can . you get one life , don’t live it abiding by societal norms . you are powerful enough to build your human character into anything. life is just a realistic rpg video game with endless possibilities. you only get one so why waste it away with mediocrity . do what makes you happy
what are some challenges you’ve faced as an artist and how did you overcome them
* growing pains have been very difficult to work thru at times . mentally you have grow just as much and at the same rate your music does . it’s a dog eat dog world where everyone claims they do this music stuff when there’s few who really live it . the things i’ve had to sacrifice to keep this dream going have been the hardest from relationships to potential future opportunities turned down due to music
what style would you consider your music to be ?
*alternative rap
to upcoming artists that are afraid to take a loss what’s 5 pieces of advice you’d like to give them
* 1. losses are learning experiences* it’s not a loss because you learn valuable information that’s necessary to take the next step
2. invest in yourself * if you know you’d do anything to make it * you know that all the time and money invested will pay off
3. don’t be afraid to take risks , risks are necessary for growth* and 1 big win will make up for 1000 losses i promise
4. find a team * if you don’t have one that’s okay * focus on yoruself and build yourself up to a point to where you can become an asset to other creatives and you’ll attract tons of people . pick who fits your style and form a relationship with them . plus you get life long friends with similar interests and visions for themselves. helps with overall manifestation to have a common trend / theme of beliefs within your circle
5. be yourself . stay true to yourself . it may not be hot now but when it’s trending in 5 years it could be your time to take that lane over if you stuck to your roots and gut and practiced your raw sound . don’t copy others just do what you like . you can be inspired of course but add your own taste . don’t recycle an already existing product
