Lauryn: How and when did
you first go about starting producing
Bigshot: I i was classically
trained at Piano from the age 7 till about
14.
At 16 i decided to put those skills to use
and got myself an Atari computer with Cubase
and started playing around on that and just
developed from there. I discovered garage
in 99/00.
Lauryn:
So musics always been a big part of your
life from a young age
Bigshot: Yup my Dad used
to play alot of reggae music so I was
always into that.
Lauryn:
Ccan you remember the first bit of music
you produced?
Bigshot: I can't remember
that far i remember certain beats because
I recorded them onto tapes
Lauryn:
Had it always been garage you made back
then?
Bigshot: Nah i started
with Rnb and HipHop and even Pop, dont know
if i should have said that haha!
Lauryn:
If you wasnt producing what do you think
you would be doing
Bigshot: On tour with the
chippendales ( so basically i have no idea!)
Lauryn:Where
do you get your inspiritation ? Or do any
artists inspire you ?
Bigshot: Right now, 'The
Neptunes' inspire me big time! They're the
hottest production duo in the world right

Lauryn:
If you could pick any artists to work with
who would it be? You can have more than
one!
Bigshot: I'd like to work
with Kele le Roc coz her voice is so sweet.
Also wouldnt mind working with MJ Cole on
Production
Lauryn:
Can you let us in on if youve had an offers
to work with any of the big names in the
industry....?
Bigshot: Right now, i mainly
been releasing instrumentals. I haven't
really shown people my full capabilities
when it comes to working with artists
Lauryn:
But something for the future?
Bigshot: Wait and see .....
Lauryn:
Your tunes so far have followed the same
sorta style.... is there any other direction
you going to take with the style of music
or stay as it is
Bigshot: I want to explore
the 4/4 sound a bit more as well more vocal
based stuff. I'll still do my dark beats.
Lauryn:

Bigshot: An important or
influential person , thats what i wanted
to be!

Lauryn:
Where do you see yourself with your producing
in say 5/10 years time?
Bigshot: I want to be hitting
the national charts on a regular basis regardless
of genre. I'm like a chameleon, always changing
colour.
