We recently connected with Marley Wolf and have shared our conversation below.

Marley , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We’d love to hear about a project that you’ve worked on that’s meant a lot to you.

I’m very into alchemy so I’m proud to be apart of a lot of collaborative projects but personally it would be by first fully distributed album. It’s titled “Black Tempest Wolf County”. I’ve progressed so much since its release but it’s sentimental to me. I had to do it all myself because I couldn’t afford to delegate. I was okay with that though because I was proud of my knowledge of recording at the time. I did everything accept one beat that I was given by a fellow artist. It was tough but super fun & I learned a lot about where I wanted my sound to go.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I’m a vocalist by trade but I’m really a “Jack Of All Trades”. I’ve always been a fan of the idea of art so it came natural to fall into it. I started singing & reading music at about 5 years old. My music theory became proficient & I got the opportunity to play the harp in middle school. I kept studying until I graduated high school. I went to college for a little while then came back home & started recording. I couldn’t keep denying how much I wanted to be an artist. I didn’t wanna have the typical Atlanta artist story so I ran from it for a while. When I came home, however, I started performing & meeting other creatives. I built a decent network that took me into music consultation. My opinion was respected after I proved myself to have valuable information. Now I’ve become more than a Singer/Songwriter. Most times I’ll sit in on studio sessions & they ask me what I think. Sometimes I find myself featuring on the music but that’s never the intention. They bring me in for my knowledge as an artist & a fan. If you call me in I’ll help you clarify your recording process & you’re sound!

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

I never claimed to be “naturally gifted”. I really believe I learned how to do what I do. I put the work in & the people can see it now. I mean I did come from a space where music was omnipresent but that could’ve manifested itself a different way. I could’ve been just a real music nerd but I trained & learned about all the mechanics of music. It trickled down to the way I view business, ultimately. I say all that to say I just want people to understand the value of passion & work ethic. I’m a product of hard work & keeping my blinders on.

What can society do to ensure an environment that’s helpful to artists and creatives?

I’m from Atlanta so I see the machine working pretty well. I think there has to be a sense of pride where you are. Atliens love being from Atlanta so we’re going to support a lot of what our artists produce.
