We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful El Tayepac. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with El below.
El, 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.
To be honest my most meaningful project would have to be a toss up between either “WLWU” or “DTOT”. Why Lie We UNDRRTD was my 1st project and I was pushing a narrative of “we on the way to the game”. Now Different Type of Time was more of my way of letting the industry know “I was here and in a Different space. Ready for everything that comes with the game.”
El, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
Wassup world I’m an artists but I ain’t sensitive about my sh*t. I go by “El Tayepac” you can find my music & videos on all DSPs (Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube etc). I got into the music industry independently by just constantly working and providing my point of view on beats. Simple Right? Kind of but it’s been one hell of a journey. One that I’m still trekking. I’m most proud of seeing how much my brand “UNDRRTD Records and El Tayepac” has grown from it’s original inception. Being a creative is a driving force in my life and my style of creation gives me a chance to be heard and hopefully understood.
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
Literally seeing how the music affects my listeners! No matter how much it gets downplayed, I enjoy shaping a mood. If even for 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
Have any books or other resources had a big impact on you?
Most Definitely! Books like “The Alchemist” “Makes Me Wanna Holler” “The Art of War” and other books that made me pivot my mindset. Basically change my outlook on a moments notice.
