Today we’d like to introduce you to Great Bastard
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
My HS English teacher Ms Dupas saw a light in me and asked if I would come to one of the poetry club meetings at the school. She heard me share a poem in class and was really impressed by it. Until that point I had kept all my words and creativity to myself but once I went to our first meeting I was hooked. Hearing other people finding themselves through their writing gave me the courage to keep getting familiar with my voice. Music came a few years later but I credit poetry as the foundation that my creative expression is built upon.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I wouldn’t say anything in my life has been smooth. I’ve been robbed by people I thought I could trust and abandoned by people that were supposed to be supporting me. A “manager” of mine literally told me my music wasn’t good after managing me for a year. None of these setbacks have stopped me but my life has been anything but smooth sailing. It’s mostly been navigating terrifying waves and finding my footing in the chaos.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I’m a rapper and spoken word artist in the DMV area. Whenever I’m not rocking a stage I’m also teaching playwriting to youth all over the area of all ages. I specialize in making music that’s conscious but relatable to people across multiple walks of life. Witty metaphors and polarizing beats are what I specialize in. No two songs sound the same from me and I pride myself on being versatile and unpredictable.
Alright, so to wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
I’m making my modeling debut this month at NYFW and I’m pumped to add modeling to my many talents!
