We recently connected with Slab Osiris and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Slab, thanks for joining us today. Do you wish you had waited to pursue your creative career or do you wish you had started sooner?

I would actually say it’s not about when I started, since I began officially recording in 2012-2013, but actually how consistent I could’ve been when I started. Thats the thing I wish I did earlier in my career so far. I was too busy hung up on trying to develop my own while counterproductively rapping over flying lotus beats then I would constantly change my alias thinking I need to go in this direction as an artist or in another direction but truth is because I didn’t put my focus on one direction I’ve created inconsistency in my path and though I do not regret it, it’s just one of those things where if I could talk to my “16 year old self” I would be sure to tell him to focus on consistency instead of trying to display yourself in a way that you feel would make people care about what you’re doing when in reality they don’t.

Slab, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

As far as me getting into the music industry it all started as a kid honestly most of my inspiration came from what my father was playing in the car plus he played drums. I feel like a good song giving you goosebumps is a scientific proof that music dictates how you feel. When I started writing and recording I knew this is what I wanted to do more than anything so I just started. That’s how get in you just start and don’t be hung up on what you create in the beginning because it’s only the beginning and overtime as long as you stick to it you will develop the skills YOU WANT TO OBTAIN to be better than how you started but it’s constant work. That constant work helped me learn how to produce my own music because most songs start off with the instrumental 99% of the time, then helped me to be able to produce for others when I was working at recording studio in Seagoville, TX. I also happen do a little bit of graphic design and I actually created the cover art for my projects as well as creating cover art for an artist named Kreepaleeks. Also, something I’ve helped other artist do when I was engineering with smokeinstruments at the time is we help them to create a structural song and we were honest when we felt like they can provide a better take because the goal is to help them produce the best product that they like themselves. The main thing I want anybody to take away from this article is no matter what learn your craft, find ways to do it effectively and efficiently and be consistent.

What can society do to ensure an environment that’s helpful to artists and creatives?

I think society can be more open-minded to newer artists. At one point the artist people choose to listen to were newer artists themselves and those same people probably didn’t listen to their music until later down the line. Because the truth is people believe in the outcome, the end goal, the results. But if people treated newer artist like trying a new restaurant they never tried before I think it could  be a fun experience.

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

It’s knowing that you have the ability to create something out of nothing. Music is alchemy. And if you don’t limit yourself or put yourself in a box your creative potential will ultimately be limitless.
