We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Haze Savage. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Haze below.
Haze, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Do you wish you had started sooner?
I started making music when I was 13 years old and it wasn’t something I took seriously for the most part is was just for fun I used to walk around showing off the music I made I’ve had very bad feedback at first it almost made me wanna stop . Then one day I went to the park and continued showing people I knew there the songs I’ve made out of 30 people 1 person in his late 40 told me you’ll always have more critics than supporters and it really stuck with me . Later that day I went home and practiced until I felt it was good enough to show I noticed that when I would freestyle if the song was a hit my homies would really jump out of they’re seats so my main focus was rhythm, melody, harmonizing and lyrics but if I knew how to control my vocal range how I do now back then it would have been an easier start for me . Where was I at I was just the ghetto young bul from the block hanging with the 60’s catching reck and making money I wasn’t even aloud at some of the other kids my age house because of my lifestyle choice in and out of juvenile lock up. I probably would have been signed if I knew everything I know now then
Haze, 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?
My Name is Shawn Anderson I’m 26 years old and I’m 6’4 and I’m a Trap Singer from Norristown Pa but I moved a lot as a child so it’s more back and forth from cities but I’ll always claim Norristown/ Philadelphia and I started making music at 13 years old as a Rapper now I’m currently developing my own sound signed with Gutta Mouth ENT . And I started my own label/ brand in 2015 Savage Muzik Productions and what set me apart from others is my ability to be versatile through different genres and my ability to switch flows and im most proud of the amount of disbelievers I’ve turned into believers and I try to make my music as relatable as possible even tho I know we don’t all life the same life I have all types of music that I think a lot of yall can relate to.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
Being able to do something that makes my daughter and siblings and nieces and nephews proud as well as being able to relate to most in the inconvenience of growing up struggling and striving for better
Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
Not everyone will support your dreams !
And I used to show my parents my music my mother wasn’t the biggest supporter in the beginning she would tell me off about it in the worst of ways and my father was a Muslim and didn’t really listen to my music but jokingly say his son / ibn was a rapper
