Diveyede​ – ​Interview and The Infinite EP @Diveyede

Tell us about yourself and your music?

Well were to begin haha. I'm kind of a old soul with a young heart. Through my life I've experienced different ventures and spent time in various places and gained an understanding and development of my own of what life has to offer based on your environment or lifestyle. Not only from my own view point, but from learning and listening to others around me in the same spectrum. One major common denominator regardless of where or how you live, is we're all looking for someone to share this rubrics cube called life with. That's how I began writing, was with poetry about love and girls. Though this started back in high school and I was more familiar with heartbreak and the friend-zone than the average popular square in class, my greatest therapy from rejection was writing. From being an introverted video game connoisseur and anime junky to a weight lifting, love ambitious ambivert, I have used everything I've been, experienced, witnessed and become as fuel in my music. My main goal is to create songs that people can relate too and can help them get through their own issues so they can mentally breath as I do through the music I create.

How would you describe your sound?

I consider myself as an Alternative Hiphop artist so I feel I provide my own unique musical resonance with my songs and production variety. I've been told my music sounds like "Emo/Grunge" haha but I'd definitely let my listeners decide. 

Talk about the experience making your single?

My newest single "Black Nimbus", I wrote in about 5 minutes. I heard the beat from my producer, Smoke M2D6, and I instantly started writing in my head the first verse, then the hook then the second verse. I then visualized how I wanted the outro to go also. It was a very "in the moment" creation, which is how I tend to organize which songs I write and record too. "Black Nimbus" is about that black cloud hovering over our head that no one seems to see but us, and how we use the rain from it in a positive nature rather than a negative one. I was partially inspired by Goku's flying nimbus in this one, and being a hardcore dragon ball z fan, I thought it fit perfectly.

What are you currently working on? Any new projects? Shows?

Currently I'm working on a few singles plus features and decided to put my 2nd album on hold for now and continue to finish my "Fallout" EP series. I have a show July 20th at the "nectar lounge" in Fremont, WA, a show on the 21st, at the "substation" in Ballard, WA, and I'm currently working on a double headliner for "The Airliner" in Los Angeles, CA.

What has been your biggest highlight in your music career this far?

My greatest highlight other than going on tour with Grayskul, who has been a group I've been listening to for years, is being able to to meet artists and musicians in the scene and calling them my friends and family. I never thought in my life I would be where I'm at right now and would have befriended artists I listened to or met at shows. The indie hiphop scene has a way of working out like that.

Name your ideal collaboration: mainstream or independent artist(s)?

My ideal collaboration would be to one day work with Aesop Rock. Either with production or as a feature or both. He is an all round musical genius, one of my greatest inspirations and just seems to be a genuine dude. I've met him twice shortly from a mutual friend and he just seems really laid back. 

Name something random that people do not know about you?

I collect Dragon Ball Z pop vinyls, I workout 6 days a week and I like pineapple on pizza. I guess that's 3 random things haha

What’s one thing you have learned or discovered while being in the indie music scene/industry?

I've learned that you're greatest support will be from complete strangers, your few closest friends, and fellow artists. On the opposite, greatest negativity will be from family and co-workers, because let's face it... "everyone's a rapper" nowadays, right? You discover who is serious about it and who is too relaxed about it. I have a lot of patience but there have been times I've waited months for features, artwork, mastering etc. From people who said "I'll have it done by Friday." and it turns to me asking them about it for 2-3 months down the road. Patience is definitely a virtue, but just stay positive.

What can we expect from you in the future?

You can expect me to continue to build and grow as much as I can. I always look out for fellow indie artists to put on shows because in the indie scene we have to start supporting and building with each other rather than see each other as competition. I'm always down to collaborate from all sorts of genre's. I just love music.
