We recently connected with INTERNET FAMOUS and have shared our conversation below.

Hi INTERNET, thanks for joining us today. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?

I didn’t know it as a kid but there was always visions I had growing up over the years that seem to have turned into a reality. Not having much most of my life other than my imagination & the will to create something from the tiniest amounts of resources I could gather had played a major role in my creative/artistic path in general, but definitely for making & playing music. Sound was one thing I could find at all times of the day or night. Learning how to make a simple beat using my knuckles my older brother showed me to writing rhymes influenced from music videos, and then to eventually picking up instruments as they appeared in my life such as trumpet in middle school, getting my hands on a keyboard, harmonica literally any instrument you could think of since then. Eventually this led to me recording my own vocals (Still haven’t given this to the world but we’ll circle back to that in the future). It wasn’t until I was graduating high school I was able to save up enough to get my first set of speakers & DJ gear. This was a huge deal for me because I had always asked for equipment for Christmas or my birthday since I was around 12 years old. It just wasn’t something my family could afford nor do I think they understood how serious I wanted it at the time. I went off to college for a semester at Texas A&M in College Station, TX in 2012 knowing DJing was the one shot I had to make a little income off of something I loved… MUSIC. With a blend of my overall taste in sound mixed with my growing love for Electronic Dance Music specifically during its energetic bubble that was soon to pop in modern time for the U.S. while living in a college town that was outdated a solid 20 years as far as music goes it was a perfect storm for INTERNET FAMOUS to be born as a brand in a world where media was to be the break for EDM producers. I started playing more parties, eventually frat parties, & then actual shows & clubs. It was during my second semester when I knew I wasn’t learning anything from the professors/system, my school debt was increasing, & we still couldn’t truly afford for me to make it an additional 3 more years with the cost of living. It was at this moment I knew I wanted to go 1,000,000% into making music my full time profession & everything else was just a side hustle to make that happen along the way. After all it felt destined to take this path from dreams at an early age so I have no regrets.

INTERNET, 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?

I provide DJ/Emcee Services for any type of event you could imagine! For starters I’m always extremely honored when someone requests/offers the opportunity to provide entertainment for their special occasion especially when it’s a referral because that lets me know someone was extremely happy with my work previously to suggest me to the next business or person. What I love about playing all types of events is being able to be versatile & fluid yet endlessly creative in curating the perfect set for any occasion or setting. As much as I feel I have it all down I love a good challenge in making my next set my best one yet. I see it this way, every set is special & when people are booking me for the BIGGEST day of their life such as couples who are getting married, New establishments having me for their Grand Opening setting the tone for the future of their business, known clubs are having me for their anniversary parties (the biggest bash of the year celebrating success) or even company holiday events where everyone should go home having the time of their life, to the festivals where my fans really get to hear my original music & other cooked up goodies play out on a massive system yet potential new supporters get to hear a fresh set no one in the world could replicate even if they tried. People book INTERNET FAMOUS for the experience & I’ll always do my best to provide them with the best I can do & beyond, even with situations like technical issues I’ll find a way to get the music going, chaos leading to the event such as a blown out tire I’ll find a way there, I might have a last minute booking cause a bar was struggling with their DJ situation if I’m available I make my way there even with the bartenders expecting to not make money that night I’m going to give their customers the best set they ever heard & make sure I did my best for those staff to have a chance at paying their bills. People’s lives depend on what I can provide whether they know it or not & for me I treat every situation as my life depends on it as well.

What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?

Overall my goal is to help as many people as possible in communities everywhere such as my hometown of San Antonio through Texas, The U.S., & World via my journey as a musician while applying entrepreneurship along the way. As mentioned before growing up I didn’t have a lot to survive on & have found myself in that situation countless times keeping the beat going for myself & others. However, the more I am blessed with the more I find myself to be able to give to others or create sustainable solutions for them to survive & have a shot at life, and hopefully find happiness which I feel has always been a goal for myself & for that to happen it is for others to find happiness. I believe music can provide that for them, I believe my music can make that happen for them. I know there are millions of children out there who are wearing the shoes I once wore (lack of shoes I should say) or even in worse situations, parents, grandparents even & anything I can do to work with others to provide a better life Im happy to put our newfound resources to use. It all starts with the music, it truly is a universal language!

Can you share your view on NFTs? (Note: this is for education/entertainment purposes only, readers should not construe this as advice)

I find it very interesting this question was brought up! Recently some people have put a negative stigma on the topic of NFTs However, I believe the technology behind it is very advanced. I actually have an unreleased INTERNET FAMOUS project that I’ve been sitting on since 2021 that I had collaborated with PixelWave out of Las Vegas, NV. I held back on releasing them because I didn’t believe people were using NFTs for the right reasons on majority of the launches. So many people were just looking to buy & sell NFTs as an investment I didn’t see them as such. In 2020 I started dabbling into the stock/crypto sectors & that is something I consider an investment, I saw NFTs as ART! As much as people might associate INTERNET FAMOUS with the thought of what is “hype” or “trendy” it is actually not. My brand is one of the most underground projects out there because of still how undiscovered it is. I would of hated to have released my NFT collection & people have lost out on a lot of money because they thought they could resell it to make profits, I didn’t care for it to ride some sort of “wave” that was going to crash. Since it is a way for me to present my project in a unique way to someone who might support my collection or my mission it is best I waited it out to avoid a hype beast phenomena. Pixelwave is no longer producing any more NFTs so once I release them it will be a very rare collection . I’m currently the sole owner of the INTERNET FAMOUS x Pixelwave Collaborative collection & one day it will be be passed off to true connoisseurs of the Art, Meaning, and Technology behind it. Even better news though, both the projects I DJ as just had a meeting with Derrrty NFTs out of Seattle, WA who may very well be using their technology to get a new set of NFTs symbolizing the new music for both “INTERNET FAMOUS” & “RADDIX” to our supporters world wide! Everyone may already be familiar with Raddix, but if this is your first time hearing then my suggestion to you is do some research after this interview! (:
