Welcome to our redaction Calvin. First of all, could you introduce yourself to our audience and tell us how you started to rap?
My name is Calvin. I started doing music at the age of 9 just making beats on tables and recording on cassette tapes.
What inspires you to write and make music?
Just the love of music inspires me. And also artists like Kanye West, Twista, Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes, Drake, J cole.
Do you have a specific creative process?
My process is pretty easy. As soon as I hear a beat I can visualise how the song should go. Or just come up with the lyrics first then the beat. It takes me about 30-45mins to complete a song
