Tastee

Story

My name is Tastee, and i’m a producer. I specialize in dubstep, riddim, and trap. I’m from Georgia and I draw a lot of inspiration from the Atlanta hip hop scene as well as classic exploitation/ grindhouse style films. I like to think of my music as an expression of the cartoon that lives inside of me. Stop taking everything so seriously, have a laugh, and bang your head through the wall.

What inspires you to make music?

Grindhouse/exploitation style films is my second hobby, so they definitely do. Just the every day grind man....

What is the message you want to send with your music?

Everyones taking something that was supposed to be fun so seriously these days. I just want to get back to throwing down and having fun with it.

How do you feel when you perform in front of an audience?

Depends on the audience. Nervous? For sure, but if they are dancing, laughing, or in any way having a good time, then it's a job well done. Even if I mess up terribly and they find it hilarious, I can play the clown for a minute before I melt their faces again.

How do you see the musicians’ reality nowadays? What could be improved?

The gatekeeping can come down a bit.

What do you think of Drooble?

Just checking out, not sure yet.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

over saturation. I hate when everyone is trying to sound the same. you gotta stick out man.

Do you support your local scene as a fan? How?

For sure, I try to give more attention to underground locals more than someone coming from out of state on a national tour.

What qualities should a musician nowadays have in order to get their music heard by a larger audience?

Persistence and humility

Share some awesome artists that we’ve never heard of.

Evolutions Decay is a dope artist out of California, then there's Exille from Atlanta. Man, there's tons of underground people creating some of the sickest stuff i've ever heard, just trying to catch their break.
