We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Michael Robinson. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Michael below.

Michael , appreciate you joining us today. What’s been the most meaningful project you’ve worked on?

PINKMOON a conceptual mixtape made when I was 18 years old I am 19 now.
It’s not my best sounding project but it’s my favorite. this mixtape is as SoundCloud as it gets but still sounds so mature gluing the whole concept and world together. What really makes this project my favorite is all the emotions, time, work, and pain into it (again emotions). But if it wasn’t for a girl I was loved with but hated at the same time the project wouldn’t be a thing so I thank her.

Pinkmoon is a world. A colorful dark world everyone is cool, everyone knows each other but doesn’t know each other at all. That’s the perfect way to explain my generation and the people that’s in my world. Everyone is themselves but labels are still a thing.
You have your thugs, gang members, goth hoes even city girls, drug dealers, even druggies, stripper/groupie hoes, even good girls,geeks/nerds all in there own world but all together at the same time. That’s how my life was in the making of this project, every single thing I named off was in my life at the time. It was like an opposite for everything but they all had the same thing in common.
That was my world so I wanted people to hear it. See what the fuck I was seeing becuz it wasn’t normal lol. But it was cool. Like I said there was an opposite to everything in my life. Positives/Negatives. Love/heartbroken. Surrounded/lonely. Had money/hand no funds lol. It was weird but again I loved it
So I mixed two things I loved the most. Music/Life and I opened a world no one had entered and everyone enjoyed it everyone had fun. That’s why it’s the most important to me. I had fun with it and it was the most stressful thing in my life but again, I loved it.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

I am a artist that cares about my craft I don’t ever want to half ass it I wanted in to motivate, relate and flip peoples downs up, I want it to be fun while also giving people a story and advice.

It all stems from since I was a baby. I still remember my full drum set I couldn’t have been more then 3 years old. It was my mom’s worst and best investment.
Music runs deep in my family line. My grandma still tells be about relatives music they had on vinyl she wished she could recover.
My dukes was really into music since she was youngin. She used to tell me about how she used to write music and my late grandpa would tell her to send it to the music banks yes a music bank which was a place you would submit songs to be used and if it was good enough it would be used and so on.
But she regrets never doing it. She put the music aside to take care of her 4 kids. So I owe her the sacrifice and live out her dreams of music through her.
My uncle made music he showed me on a CD he had a few years ago he made some years ago. It was hard enough to make a name out it like not even being biased it was good.
It’s a long list of artist and former artist in my family and the one making the most noise at the moment is my cousin, Joe Maynor out of Bakersfield California.
My family is full of talent that never had the resources or just never had the chance to use them. So it’s my goal and dream to give them the resources for all the talent and in honor of former talent.
What sets me apart is I’m genuine. I’m myself and I’ve never made music for anyone only for myself and what I believe they need to hear. It’s different I pull in so much inspiration, and different parts of everything in out it into my music and it sounds different and I’m proud of that.
I just want all supporters and listeners is to take it in as heart and not the hype you’re expecting to hear. Treat every song as a art piece as you’re walking through a semi noisy art museum but also warp it into your own world and meaning to you.

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

Your head work being seen. It’s the best feeling to look back on the art YOU made and see other people enjoy it and take from it. Nobody likes putting blood sweat tears into something for it to not be seen no matter what anyone tells you. Imagine putting some much time and effort into something you care so much about and it not being appreciated the right way? Every artist has felt that feeling at least once before no matter how self conscious and confident and appreciating of you work you want it to be worth your time and have others take from it. It’s the best feeling that’s not a drug

Have any books or other resources had a big impact on you?

Jean Michel Basquiat he has books, videos (interviews) out there that I take from he’s an inspiration in everything I do. I want to live through my music like he did with his art. He’s no philosopher but you can definitely take from his words to grow and find your meaning in your craft
