Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to RICKAY. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
RICKAY, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Learning the craft is often a unique journey from every creative – we’d love to hear about your journey and if knowing what you know now, you would have done anything differently to speed up the learning process.
I like peeping how other artists make their music, and figuring out why a specific part of a chorus hits people a certain way. I heard Andre 3000 used to scan the room at parties, checking out how people reacted to the music. So, I started doing that too. The obstacles? Dealing with peers who didn’t think I had it in me. Had to cut them off, to be around people who got my back and believe in what I’m doing the most.
RICKAY, 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?
My name is Rickay. I’m a rapper and actor. I started in the industry just doing shows in musical theatre, but I’ve always had a passion for creating my own music. I’ve been heavily inspired by Jack Harlow’s smooth flow, Kanye West’s soulful/gospel feelings, and Drake’s versatility in every genre. My goal is to create a fan base that is open to every genre of music, with a firm foundation of rap integrated into my songs
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
I just want to create a song that’s better than my last, and I want to be able to successfully create a song in every genre. My goal is to change the narrative that you have to stick to one genre and that it doesn’t define you. Make what you feel.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
I’m doing what I love, and I believe that my music can positively impact people because I have a positive intent with my music. I create every song for a reason, whether it’s to help you cope with your pain, get hyped up, or have calming music on the road. To me that’s rewarding.
