We recently connected with K-Quick and have shared our conversation below.

K-Quick, appreciate you joining us today. We’d love to hear the backstory behind a risk you’ve taken – whether big or small, walk us through what it was like and how it ultimately turned out.

The music industry has changed drastically. It used to be that if you had the talent, a major label would sign you, take the risk and invest in you and your talent. Today, its the artist’s job to take the risk and invest in themselves; and thats what I did. It’s more than just being the artist. As an independent artist, you are the entire label. I had to learn how the business and the industry worked as a whole and I had to take the chance on myself. Because the fact of the matter is, no one was going to just GIVE me the opportunity, so I had to make the opportunity. It took alot of time, learning and investing. But I knew what I had to offer the music industry and I knew that I was an investment that I could count on. So I bet on myself. And since then, my brand has been continuously growing and I have estblished myself as a figure in the industry. No matter what field you are in, you have to be your biggest risk and investment.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

My name is K-Quick. I am a rapper, singer, songwriter, audio engineer and actor from Maryland. I have been singing for as long as I can remember, but I wrote my first rap when I was about 7-years-old. I knew for sure that It was my passion and it wasvwhat I wanted to by the time I was 10. By that age I was writing all the time and learning how to freestyle and trying to find ways to get into the industry. By age 11 I started participating in freestyle battles. I always had leverage because I was great freestyler, which I am till this day. The better I got at freestyling the better I got at writing. At first I was just writing long verses; they would literally be 100 bars long until my father, who is also a phenomenal singer as well, helped me learn song structure at a young age too. So from there I began writing full songs. Some of my other musical influences are Michael Jackson, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Eminem, Big Proof, Three Days Grace, Tech N9ne, Beres Hammond and Sam Cooke.

Is there something you think non-creatives will struggle to understand about your journey as a creative?

The main thing would probably be is that for us creatives, our creativity is our therapy. Its our medicine. It is our peace. And the reason for that is it is a pure way to project our inner pain and our inner feelings and emotion. This is the reason why artists are so sensitive about their creations. We look at our creations like our children, they come from us, and we cherish them. And to be truthfully honest as I mentioned before it is our therapy and medicine, And I will speak for myself when I say this, without being able to express myself through art and creativity I more than likely wouldn’t be here. And a lot of creatives will echo the same sentiments. So for the non-creatives, I would just like them to understand what our art truly does for us as well as other people who can relate to our art.

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

The most rewarding Thing about being an artist is being able to help and inspire others through my art. Whenever I receive a comment, a message or an email from somebody expressing how much my creations helped them or inspired them, that is bigger than any award I can recieve in this industry. It is the most humbling feeling anyone could have.
