1K, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?
When I recorded my first song and I felt relieved. I went back a few days later to see if I felt the same way and I did. I knew I needed to shift my focus to music and take it seriously once I seen the ones around me saw potential in my music.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
1KSpin is a musical artist originating from Birmingham, Alabama. His love for music came shortly after his collegiate basketball career where he was an All- American and Conference Player of the Year. Covid took a huge toll on Spin’s mental state. Spin was working at warehouse when one day he randomly freestyled Infront of friends at the time and his friends believed he had potential to actually make something of himself with music. Next day his friend took him to a studio where Spin recorded his first song and fell in love with everything about it. The writing, the recording, the finished product, the whole process he fell in love with it. From that point Spin took it upon his self to find himself in his music with certain melodies and emotional punchlines that fans could enjoy. He decided to pack up and move to Austin, Tx to chase his dream of being an successful artist. Spin has released an EP called Remorseful Heart to start off 2023 and has his first solo EP on the way in April called S.P.I.N (Sometimes. Pain. Is. Necessary). Fans are gravitating heavily towards the melodic, heartfelt Spin. He recently performed during the major SXSW Music Festival in Austin, Tx on the HipHopSince1987 which has created a great buzz him as a artist. Spin wants his supporters to know he is forever grateful for the support he is given as an artist and there are major things coming not just for him but his supporters as well!
