We were lucky to catch up with Lync Lone recently and have shared our conversation below.
Lync, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?
I’ve been recording albums ever since I was first exposed to hip-hop music around 10 years old. I used to listen to the local hip-hop station on the radio religiously and memorized dozens of verses from the likes of Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Eminem, etc. I started writing my own raps and recording songs on the voice memos app on my iPod, most of them without any beat. I would burn the tracks to a CD and design my own CD jackets out of paper. I’ve always been infatuated with recording music and all the unique ways in which you can create your own world when making an album. I feel like that fascination has carried me until this point, where I’m now able to freely express myself through albums and concepts.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I like to world-build and express myself through conceptual albums and day-in-the-life type songs. Being able to relate to the listener without trying to put myself on a pedestal is key for me. One of my favorite abilities to possess is being able to synthesize all my life experiences into song or idea form.
In your view, what can society to do to best support artists, creatives and a thriving creative ecosystem?
Stop comparing everyone to each other. Comparison is the thief of joy. All music has something beautiful to be discovered if you listen closely enough and have an open mind. Times are rapidly changing and things will never be the same as they once were, so don’t let nostalgia pilot your taste in art or music. Try to find a way to enjoy all the new trends, creativity and art that’s out in the world. It’s incredible how many people are able to express themselves through art or music nowadays and it should be embraced.
Any resources you can share with us that might be helpful to other creatives?
Do everything yourself until you make enough money to begin outsourcing things to the right people. If you teach yourself various skills and wear all the hats, it teaches you an incredible amount of perseverance and gives you tons of experience that you otherwise wouldn’t get. Don’t be lazy because there’s always someone working harder than you who wants it more.
