What is your name and what city do you rep?
Big Sosa, and Las Vegas. But I was born on the island of Cuba.
Tell us about your latest releases, what inspired you to create them?
My recent release has been my r&b single “Hold Me Down” featuring Armani. The feedback has been great and soon we’ll be shooting a video to it. This song has been the first time I been on radio stations and so many opportunities have came because of it. It was supposed to be released months ago, but it was God’s plan to happen now.
What is unique about you and your music?
I feel with the mix of Spanish and my east coast flow, people that are being introduced to my music will feel like they are hearing something different and with so many different artist out ,
I want to make my presence felt and stand out from the pack.
What shaped your music?
Growing up my favorite artist’s were Biggie,
50 Cent, Future, Meek, Lil Wayne and recently MoneyBagYo. As far as the Spanish side that’ll be Annuel AA.
When did you realize you were going to make music professionally?
This time when I started recording again, I had support from Dj’s and radio in different cities.
It made me realize I could get to the next level.
My life completely changed from the last two years, and I feel it was all for a reason
What type of music do you listen to?
I listen to hip hop, reggaeton, Rock&Roll, and sometimes r&b when I’m with my shorty.
I’ve also been listening to Jamaican Dancehall and African music.
What inspires you to write music?
In high school I recorded my first song, but now it feels more like an art and I want to make songs that all types of people would enjoy. It starts with the instrumental. That’s always the most important part of the song to me .
When I like the beat and it it starts flowing, sometimes I could finish a song in 10-15minutes.
What do you do when you don’t do music (creative or otherwise) and that you are passionate about?
Recently I been teaching my son boxing, and
I been trying to get in a better place spiritually so I been learning more about the islands and Africa.
Happiness to you is…
Happiness is accomplishing the things in my life that I have wanted and dreamed of. I want to have
more kids and to watch them have kids of their own. I want to help my family like my dad helped me.
What do you wish you were told when you first started making music that you think would help artists just starting out?
Quality over quantity. Get your team together and work with people that want to work with you . There’s more than one way to reach the goal. Focus on making great music and staying true to your sound . I also think giving people something different to hear and collaborating with other artists is important
Tell us about your upcoming projects…
Within the next few months I want to release an official video for “Hold Me Down” and focus on a new single. There’s a Spanish song I been working on that I think will be a club banger.
After the next 2-3 singles I’ll finally release my first project. Most of the songs will be co-produced by my homie ScoreYee from Kansas City. We definitely got some heat coming soon for the streets.
