Which genre of music do you make (rap, country, pop, e.t.c)?
Mainly hip-hop but it’s fluid. I float between sounds—psychedelic hip-hop, soul, R&B,
experimental vibes, some funk, some trap, a little EDM. I don’t do boxes but you it’s gotta
transport you somewhere; you gotta be able to feel it and vibe to it, smoke to it.
Are you signed to a Label ? (If yes, what label)
Nope. I’m independent. Everything flows through BLZRS and BLZRS Ent.—that’s the brand, the
label, the movement. BLZRS Ent. is the vehicle, but it’s also a mindset: Blisscipline.
When did you start making music ?
I started making music at a really young age. Dropped my first mixtape in 2012 when I was 14.
Started to really catch the bigger vision and evolve around 2018 and been locked in ever since.
What profession do you assume (singer, rapper, producer, song writer)?
Rapper, songwriter, sound designer, engineer, creative director… I’m a full-spectrum artist. I mix
and master my own work too, so everything you hear is from my world.
Where are you from?
I’m from outer space but I claim the DMV. That’s the soil, the roots, the family. I’ve stayed and
visited all over—London, NYC Japan, Spain, Amsterdam—but the DMV has my heart.
When was your first song released?
I dropped my first mixtape at 14 back in 2012. The early days were all about experimenting and
finding myself but a lot of that early work is gone now.
Around 2018 is when I really started catching the vision and evolving into what I’m doing now.
How Would you describe your music?
Trippy, honest, cinematic, and soulful. It’s real life through a psychedelic lens. There’s always
duality—light and shadow, peace and chaos. It’s spiritual and steezy at the same time. There’s
music for the seekers, the stoners, the dreamers, the ones going through it but still flying high.
What’s your creative process like?
Very vibe-based; It changes depending on the moment. Sometimes I freestyle and let the
energy lead, other times I write down full songs or in my head before I touch the mic. I’m really
visual—so I usually see scenes, colors, or feelings first, then build the world sonically. Weed
helps me tap in too, it’s part of the ritual.
What is your come up story?
I came up in the underground scene, DIY everything.
I built a rep early in the DMV and London then started traveling and expanding the vision—
Stayed, visited, and did work in places like NYC, Japan, Australia, Spain, Amsterdam. Those
chapters gave me global perspective and growth. Some moments were quiet, others loud. Every
city added something new to the sound and the vision. There were chapters where I had to fall
back, get sharper, and move in silence, but I’ve always stayed tapped in creatively. The return’s
already in motion—you’ll see it when you see it.
I like to be in the cut doing and building my own thing until its time to pop out.
What was your inspiration to make music?
Music was always a way to make sense of the world. It helped me understand myself and
process life. I was inspired by artists who made their pain and dreams into something
transcendent—Cudi, Outkast, Wayne, Badu, Kanye, Pharrell. But honestly, just being alive and
feeling everything deeply was the main spark.
Wiz Khalifa, A$AP Rocky and Tyler The Creator showed me it’s okay and cool to be different.
Music was always the one thing that made sense.
What can we expect from you?
A new era..
I’ve got a project called SPACE TOURIST—fully produced by the dope producer Space Tourist and
mixed & mastered by me. It’s a psychedelic voyage through sound and self. Singles like “On The
Moon” and “SPACE STORY” capture that trippy, interstellar vibe.
Me and my brother Fabz Pi—he stays out in Rotterdam—got a collab tape on the way too. He’s a
an amazing artist and our visions and vibes just perfectly align. It’s gonna be raw.
And then there’s my long-awaited double album BLZRS BLVD: A Psychedelic Sanctuary. I’ve been
crafting it for 5 years.
I dropped singles like “Strange Change” (2021) and “WAVEZ” (2022), and instead of traditional
singles I also dropped three-track EPs—Pariah (2021) and The Party Pack EP (2023)—to keep
listeners fed while I was in the cut working on the bigger projects, getting inspired, innovating,
tweaking sound, and tightening up business. The response’s been real. WAVEZ is sittin’ around
322K and Party Til We Fall is at 330K on Spotify. Nothing crazy, just real energy behind it—
people finding it, vibin’ with it, and passing it along. It’s taken some time I know some people
been waiting but it’s been good steady growth over that period though and I’m happy about
that.
The vision’s matured. And now it’s time.
