MelissaBeckyLeah: ilikemusic because... itz frikin amazing mann!

Alistair: ilikemusic because... you can relate to the lyrics and through music you can express your emotions and feelings.
Cesar Sangwa: ilikemusic because... it's there for me through thick and thin, highs and lows. I think about it when I wake up, and when I close my eyes to sleep. I like music because I'm in love with it!
Robyn: ilikemusic because... It’s the way I want to express myself. It’s not a choice. It’s just always been there. It’s just what I do.
RejinaReclusive: ilikemusic because... it helps me remember. It helps me forget. It helps me be strong and it makes me cry. Music screams the words I can't say, the feelings I can't express. It makes my heart feel alive.
Dave: ilikemusic because... Without it there wouldnt be a Global Gathering
cherylyn emery: ilikemusic because... it makes me happy even when im sad
Master Gee: ilikemusic because... It gives me an opportunity to truly express myself, unlike what happens in an everyday living situation where there are restrictions on you and limitations on you and demands on you and bills to pay, through music I can truly be comfortable with who I am, and do what I really want to do and say what I really want to say.
Ryan, OneRepublic: ilikemusic because... It is the soundtrack to my life every day.

Blak Twang Chats To ilikemusic

You are here: I Like Music > hiphop > Blak Twang Chats To ilikemusic

Blak Twang: A track with Nas and Rakim, they were my two favourite artists growing up. So yeah, Nas and Rakim, and a chorus sung by Anita Baker.

ILM: What do you look forward to most about playing live?

Blak Twang: The crowd. Their buzz and their reaction. Being able to put across my records. You are able to take it to the crowd and really explain it. Why you wrote this particular song. Sometimes people mis-interpret your work, or read reviews that have not understood it.

ILM: You're able to look into peoples eyes?

Blak Twang: Absolutley. I try not to wear sunglasses on stage. I like to connect with people. I love to see them enjoying themselves, watch the people that know the tunes rapping along, that's a really great buzz for me.

ILM: What is the most memorable live gig that you've ever been to?

Blak Twang: Man, so many! So so many! I remeber seeing Biggie Smalls, that was quite amazing. There is just so many! Snoop Dogg at Brixton Academy, that was incredible as well! Other ones would be Big L at Subterannea which was mind blowing. I never got to see Tupac, which was quite upsetting. MCD was was quite amazing.

ILM: What are your future plans?

Blak Twang: I've already started writing new material.

ILM: What is inspiring you at the moment?

Blak Twang: Some of the responses to my records. I'm trying to do something different. I hate repitition. I don't want to write another Speaking From Xperience. I'm conciously trying not to repeat myself. In terms of what is inspiring me, I suppose it is other artists. We have so many coming out at the moment. You can have one or two coming out a year and say that the scene seems strong, but we have one or two coming out a month, which is impressive. People like Sway, Kano, Dizzee, Estelle, Chipmunk, they are all doing so well and they inspire me to keep on doing what I do.page << 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 >>
