G.Pari$ – Computed Emotions [Interview]

Computed Emotions’ instrumental sounds very original indeed. Tell us a few things about your creative process. How many beats do you listen to before deciding to actually use one?

When it comes to picking beats I go by vibes. I have to love the beat as soon as I hear it that’s when I know that the song will be great. I usually just look up some beats and if I love it I use that one right then in there.

Where did you draw inspiration from?

From my every day life. I try to talk about what I’m dealing with at that moment in my music. That way it feels more authentic and that’s just my way of being honest.

What is the story behind your name?

To make a long story short I used to go by Goyard Marley I changed it to G.Pari$ because it just easier to say. it’s also very similar to my original. I just took the G from Goyard and changed the Marley to Pari$.

Artists and people who have influenced and inspired you?

As for people that inspired me it would be my little brother first of all he really pushes me to become a better artist. Overall I just have a very supportive family and I’m blessed to have them. As for artists Kanye, Tyler the creator, Kendrick Lamar, J.Cole

Trap music came to rule the world, but at the moment the genre feels stagnant. What does the future hold for hip hop in general?

I feel like it’s just getting started. Things are going to change and fast. if you look around now a lot of the music scenes have changed over the past couple years and it’s only gonna grow. You may feel stagnant now but soon there’s going to be a big change.

When not writing music, how do you spend your time?

Working man. when I’m not making music I’m working. I work 12 hour shifts at a behavioral health center. so whenever I get a chance to create I take that chance. Most of my day is me working on something whether it’s music or at work

What would you say is your biggest vice?

I would say getting out of my head. I’m in my head a lot I’m learning how to deal with it and not second-guess myself. I’m growing to trust my intuition.

Thank you!

G.Pari$ – Patterns [Interview]

Describe your sound in 3 words

Melodic, Catchy, and Honesty

In the end, is it easy to recognize the patterns and change for the better?Tell us a few things about Patterns and the main idea behind it.

It’s never easy when it comes to self reflection. It takes a lot of discipline. When I created patterns I was at a time where I felt that I needed to make a change in my life. I began to notice the loop that I was in and the patterns that I stuck with out of comfort. So I decided to make a change and love myself more. There are so many issues that I’m still dealing with but I learned to take it one step at a time.

Which is your most personal and honest lyric?

Definitely from patterns it was “I’m always stressing thinkin bout life and sh*t my job don’t work for me I think it’s time to quit.”

Favourite rapper, lyricist and producer?

I have so many but my top three in no order would be Kendrick Lamar, Kanye, and Tyler, The Creator

What does hip hop symbolize in your opinion?

Symbolizes the art of expression. Some people see it differently I look at it as an art form and people just expressing their lives. There’s so many artists that are putting these bodies of work out. Most People don’t understand that as an artist to put a song out is probably one of the most vulnerable things that we can do because that song is a piece of us that were showing the world.

In which state of mind do you imagine people might listen to your music?

When they need a little bit of motivation and just knowing that there’s someone else out there that understands how they feel when it comes to certain issues or situations. Maybe the listener is needing that extra reassurance about life. That’s where my music comes in.

One last thing we should know about you?

i’m someone who loves learning and creating. i’m not a big fan of school. Not saying that school isn’t beneficial for others it’s just not for me. what I mean by learning is learning new skills whether it’s learning how to mix & master music, graphic design, or even learning color palettes.

Thank you!
