King Skrilla has started the new year off with a leap.
1. What is the meaning behind calling your new project The Leap?
My project is called “The Leap” because it’s a short story about a young man taking a huge risk by leaving his current job to pursue his dream full time. I had to take a leap of faith. It was very uncomfortable, as you will hear in the music, but it was worth it. I wanted to tell my story in hopes of inspiring people to take leaps in their lives too. I wanted to let them know that taking that leap doesn’t mean everything’s gonna work out the way you intended it to, but it will work out. It has to.
2. What makes this project different from the others?
This project is different because it’s probably the most organic one I’ve done to date. I produced every record, which was a challenge for me. I didn’t want it to sound like anything out right now. I stuck to my gut feeling. Also, this process was crazy man. Like, it literally took me like 7 months to complete these 5 songs because as I was going through these different emotions, I would get inspired to write these songs. So what you hear is literally all me. Raw and unfiltered. A sonic documentation of the process.
3. How can fans connect with you and become Royal Supporters?
Fans of my music can easily subscribe to my email list by simply emailing me at [email protected] or texting me at 618-223-5415. You can hit me on any of my social media accounts and I’ll plug you in that way.
4. What are the benefits of beings a Royal Supporter?
My Royal Supporters receive motivational quotes at random and they get the info FIRST. Like as soon as I decide what content I want to release, they get notified first before anyone else. They also receive music first too.. Like I have a few Royal Supporters that’s bumping the EP already. I randomly selected them. I wanna look out for the people that support me and stay connected to them. The love is real.
5. What are you goals in this year of 2016?
My goals for 2016 are simple. Aside from growing as a human being, I wanna focus on getting my music heard by more people. Not because I wanna “get on”.. I mean, that would be awesome! But so that I can reach more people. Music is powerful and I have to focus on using my gift instead of just trying to be the next big thing in the game. I’m not downplaying success at all, but for 2016, my focus is the people and whatever happens from there will happen.
"Only thing left .. my EP comes on out February 8, 2016 via Sound Cloud and Audiomack. Check it out, share it if you love it. And in 2016, take that Leap toward your goals. The bigger the risk, the bigger the reward. One love."
