Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Hoodoo Jim. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hoodoo, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. What’s been the most meaningful project you’ve worked on?
My most meaningful project so far has to be Lazer Planet. I was getting over a break up; I had a lot of things to say that I didn’t have the chance to, so I wrote some of them down. The production on the project is also super tight. It’s definitely some of the best music I’ve made.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I’m a Producer and Vocalist from Savannah, GA. I’ve been in NYC for the past few years and recently, I’ve started a collective of different artists and visionaries who collaborate with each other for events, music videos, photoshoots, promotions, things like that. The brand is called HoodooCentral. On our website you can find our merchandise, and soon you will be able to access community forums for our users to chat and hang out.
My music is characterized by swirling electronics, hard hitting bass lines, and memorable melodies. I produce almost every song I release, so I have complete control over the sound. That’s why I believe you wont be able to find an artist that sounds like me.
I’m proud of how far I’ve come and I’m excited to get to the point where I’m able to give back.
How can we best help foster a strong, supportive environment for artists and creatives?
We can create spaces where artists feel safe to express themselves, that’s something I think New York does well. I think some artists struggle with either finding a place to perform their craft, or finding other like minded people to connect with.
We’d love to hear your thoughts on NFTs. (Note: this is for education/entertainment purposes only, readers should not construe this as advice)
I don’t know if they will stick around but I like the idea. It’s a interesting way for independent artists to claim ownership over their work.
