We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Kamble a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Kamble, thanks for joining us today. Can you talk to us about how you learned to do what you do?
Learning the craft I feel is important more than anything as an artist.
There’s not a lot of artists that take the time to study or learn their craft.
Most artists just jump into the game without even knowing the basics of music or even knowing who came before them.
I feel it’s important to understand your craft and to study the ones that came before you. I learned more about the craft from taking notes from other artists and making it into my own. Starting from the basics of music and understanding the craft, to knowing my sound, studying what the listener wants, etc.
I’m still learning to this day and you never stop. It’s free and it’s easier than ever now to genuinely learn more about music. I feel it’s more than just melodies, instrumentals, and lyrics. I look at it as an art
Kamble, 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?
I’m an 18 year old artist from North Lauderdale, FL and I started rapping around 10. I got into music because of music was always a gene in my family.
What sets me apart is how many styles I bring, the melodies, the lyrics, the versatility, and my story in the music.
You could say a lot of artists do the same but they don’t show you how they’re versatile, they don’t show you their real story. They rap about what’s trending right now to hop on a wave but when I rap, I make songs that you can continually listen to. My discography and my music speaks for itself.
I’m proud about a lot of the things I’ve done especially at the age I’m at now still being in high school. I’ve accomplished a lot since I was 16 and I’ve only been going up ever since. I still have long ways ahead of me and I’ve been in that mindset of not being comfortable. I look at things like I have to do that not as an accomplishment.
Have you ever had to pivot?
It was around late last year like I would go to the studio but I wasn’t like for real in the studio. I mean that like I wasn’t going everyday and spending hours working.
Now I’m in the studio every night, everyday continually working. I jus recently transitioned from YouTube beats to actually using beats from actual hitmakers.
Like when I say big I mean like big producers. I’m still in that transition mode but I’ve been pivoting on consistency, shooting more videos, and just moving like an artist.
In your view, what can society to do to best support artists, creatives and a thriving creative ecosystem?
Support what’s real. Nowadays everybody just supports anything. It’s not a diss to anybody because if your music is good it’s good and people will gravitate towards it.
But I mean people will support anything that they see others supporting and I feel that’s fake. They watch you do it then they say “I knew he was gon blow”. I just feel that’s lame like people feel entitled or just feel too prideful to just share support.
People will support those they don’t even know before they support someone they know. It’s nothing wrong with supporting others you don’t know but if you all up in that person’s business and acting like that person knows you is crazy.
