Formula Indie Sessions _ Interview with Thawurdsmith
What is your earliest memory connected to music?
My mother, who used to sing opera humming to me a melody when I was 4 which I still remember to this day.
How did your passion for creating music begin?
After my father died when I was 11, it helped me deal with my depression.
What’s the story behind your current music project?
My current project E=MC Squared is based off of my birthday 0314, which of course is Einsteins birthday as well. Its to portray my lyrical depth or talent.
How would you describe your sound to someone who has never heard your music before?
Its a mix of old school 90s underground lyrical rap, mixed with triumph/gladiator type instrumentals.
What is one thing you’ve learned that completely changed the way you make music?
Working with Absoloot a mastermind and legend in this game, taught me how to push the boundaries of my music. Like being able to twist, and build on my music each bar.
What tools, instruments, or software are essential in your creative process?
I use mostly pro tools for my work I do my own creating, writing, recording, mix/mastering, releasing, and promoting.
Which indie artist or song are you loving right now?
Dark to Day by myself
How have your personal experiences influenced your music and artistic vision?
from loosing my father, to being homeless for years it helped me understand the world alot. I appreciate my journey Ive been going through so far, and how god has molded me into the artist I have become.
What emotions or messages do you hope listeners take from your work?
I hope they take away from my music, that being yourself is gold. That the only standard you have is that mirror reflection. That success is what you make of it, but to be honest with yourself in striving for those goals.
What’s the most important lesson music has taught you so far?
That discipline and persistence will always help you achieve what ever your after.
What is a dream venue or festival you would love to perform at?
Maybe a superbowl half time show.
If you could collaborate with any artist, past or present, who would it be and why?
Canibus his work is the foundation of my style. To me he is the greatest lyricist that has ever graced the mic.
Where can our listeners follow and support your music? (Website,Spotify, IG, links)

Looking toward the future, what’s your dream for the next chapter of your musical journey?
I have had a few labels reach out including Rocnation Management which we didnt agree on the terms of the contract. I myself would either like to sign with a major label, but with 100% creative control of my music, or a major backer to help me push my music to the next level.
What do you hope listeners will discover about you along the way?
That I am 1 of 1 I do not sound like anyone, and that is how real music from real artist is supposed to sound like.
