Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to G R X Y. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

G R X Y, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Do you think your parents have had a meaningful impact on you and your journey?

I think the main thing my parents did right was definitely raise me with an ambitious mindset. Growing up when I did started out producing and even to this day trying to perfect my craft they’ve always reminded me if this is something I really want then I need to make it happen and go get it. That’s the main thing for me, they’ve pushed me to get out of my own creative box, go do shows all over the state, network with promoters and other upcoming artists, and honestly it’s helped me make steps I wouldn’t have been able to make on my own.

G R X Y, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

My name is “G R X Y” pronounced as grey and I’m a music recording artist and performer based in Central Texas. I’ve been making music going on I believe 5 or 6 years now since I was in high school. I started producing and just doing remixes of popular songs at the time around 2019 then I transitioned to recording my own content later that year. When I first started recording I didn’t really have an artist set up I was just using my phone and a pair of apple headphones just trying to get my voice heard. I feel like since then I’ve came a long way in my craft quality wise and as well with visual and the performance aspect of it for sure.There’s definitely a difference in when I’m performing now than when I first started I think it was nerves saying “oh crap we’re really doing this” and now It’s more of a “ok let’s go again” type energy I love to bring the hype and show it off. I think what sets me apart from a lot of other artists is how I go about the craft, I don’t try to stay in a specific genre I definitely try to experiment with new sounds and dabble in areas that a lot of people don’t really go in and still make something amazing to listen to and that even goes into producing I still produce to this day a lot of my own tracks are produced by myself and I’m surely into working with new artists as well. I’m big on energy now more than ever and I think that’s what makes me stand out a little more because you can hear it in the music but when I do shows and even when I finish them people always approach me and ask like how am I so energetic and how do I keep the momentum I have throughout a set. I think it’s amazing then there’s the ones who really listen to what I say and I appreciate that more than ever because I won’t just be saying anything random it all reflects how I feel and I think it’s awesome to see people feel and relate to it all. I’d have to say my proudest moment was shutting down an Afro Man show in Dallas and as crazy as it sounds I think it’s up there for me because when you have someone on that scale in the industry selling out hundreds of people and you open for him and people think you’re the main event and only twenty people stay, I really think that proved to myself on how far I can take this. I just want to make great music and with time I think a lot of people are going to catch on.

In your view, what can society to do to best support artists, creatives and a thriving creative ecosystem?

I think the best way people can support local artists is simply just listen to what they put out and tap in with their older projects. You know so many people love they ones that are already on top and it’s not to go at anyone at all but there’s so much over looked talent in the local community that people either won’t give a chance or genuinely have never heard about because everyone’s caught up with what so and so at the top is doing so yeah I really think at least just listening to what they got helps and means a lot for sure. If they have events or shows coming up go see them live and who knows you might actually like what you hear and get out on to even more artists you’d only hear about in such a fashion.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

I had this real bad in my earlier days I wanted everyone to like what I do from friends to family even new people and like I said I dabble in a lot of genres such as like the mainstream rap scene or alternative you know so I like to do everything but even with me doing so everyone has their own respective opinions and that’s absolutely fine. If you don’t have people that don’t like what you do then you’re doing something wrong in my opinion. My mom really shed light on that for me a while back because I’d get frustrated when people on social media would say I’m trash basically for not fitting in and sounding like everyone else in a sense but that’s cool because not everyone is going to like what you do and that’s just in life in general so I appreciate my mom for that and so much more as well as the fan base I have now for reminding me that it’s my life and I got to do it how I see fit in my creative journey.
