In our latest interview, we had the chance to talk to the rising artist about gravitating towards music, her single “Body,” and much more. Check it out below.
For those who are unfamiliar with your music, walk us through your journey to becoming an artist?
I started making music in 2008. I started making rap music then jersey club music under the name Tokyo. As jersey club music is a big part of New Jersey’s music scene it took off faster. While releasing Jersey Club and rap music, I went viral on Youtube WorldStarHipHop for a video I made called Things People From Jersey Say”. Following the feedback from the video, my music became more known. I have multiple jersey club songs that have over a million views and streams and that are played globally. In most recent years, I am still making jersey club music and rap music but now under the name doubleCChanel.
Talk about your process of making songs, who and where do look to for inspiration, and how easy is it to translate your emotions into music?
All of my music is inspired through my life, anything I been through or experienced. It’s much easier for me to translate my emotions into my music than to express myself to other person. I don’t really talk to people about my feelings but music gives me that outlet.
What are some of the challenges you faced as a woman in music?
A challenge I faced in music as a woman is how I am perceived. Women are not treated he same as men in music when we speak sexually, how assertive we are or by what we wear. We are judged for all of these things. I learned to ignore the stereotypes.
You recently released the video for “Body,” what emotions or feelings do you look to elicit with that visual effort?
I feel like the video was done very well. It was executed it well by Film Mafia. I want women to look at this video and feel that they are a boss. That they can’t be touched, that they are that deal. For me seeing women in their bag, make me wanna get in mine.
With “Body” in the rearview, what’s next for you in regards to music?
Next up, I am releasing a jersey club single and more visuals. I am currently working on an EP as well.
Do you have any dream collaborations?
I would love to work with Nicki Minaj or Future for sure.
In terms of longevity, what are some of your short-term and long-term goals?
Short term goals – to expand my audience, increase my supporters and fan base. Every day me and my team are working to browse our reach. Long term goals – to acquire a deal, to put out an official album, secure Collabs.
