Pigeon Spins Hip Hop: Teled

(•)> Cru cru! What first got you into music?

When I was young I tried to produce electronic music, but I never could finish a song. I didn't know music theory, production technical stuff, arragement etc. I saw people who were playing on Launchpad on Youtube. I just literally sit and tried to make a music for hours and never finish nothing completely. I was about 11-14 years old. In that time I get into Dj-ing a little and tried to remix songs by ear, then I got into doing school parties with older schoolmates, then I saw microphones, cables, small PA system. After this time my older friends started to freestyle around me and that's how I got into writing songs and getting self-expression from it. After writing a lot of songs and being able to freestyle for minutes I bought my first microphone, It was 2017. This stepped up my game, then instead of using cheap headphone microphone set and Audacity I started using Reaper. Whole another world opened to me. Before that I used Ableton live, but did not know that I can even record in it. I did not know what the DAW or EQ is!

(•)> What's your favorite album of all time?

I don't know which one is most favorite. We have to many good albums here, but 3 most listened album of all time by me are Eminem - Relapse, 50 Cent - Get Rich or Die Tryin and Eminem - Recovery. Relapse was with me through my darkest time in life, Recovery gave me motivation to getting sober and keeping myself straight. I still run sometimes to this album! And GRODT keeps me hard and still winning. For me music was always like mood-altering drug, that's why I really cautiously select music that I listen. Best albums that I discovered in last time is definitely G-Unit, Lloyd Banks, Hopsin, Merkules, T.I. whole discography. I love Ryan Leslie, Ludacris, Yelawolf, Young Buck and Mindflip music too.

(•)> What record from the 2020's do you replay the most?

Oh man, I don't know. I'm a producer and studio engineer and I'm still searching for new good music and inspiration. In this week it is probably Merkules - Out Here. Now I'm slowly digging Lloyd Banks - A.O.N 3

(•)> What should the Pigeon listen to next?

Herbiarz - Łykaj Moją Pięść, definitely!

(•)> What memorable answers have you had to your work so far?

I remember that one time after concert, listener walked to me and said that he felt alive first time for so long. This happened couple of times I love it! I heard one time that young people who are in rehab listens to my music in one of rehab spots, because workers here point me as an example, that you can get out of addiction and reach for success.

(•)> Who is your inspiration when creating music?

People who tell me personal story, people who pour emotions into me. Whatever it is rage, sadness, happines or crazy vibe. I just observe my emotions, life, streets and people around me. Other artists are definitely big inspiration, I'm often inspired by their stories. Even my place in life inspires me. Books that I read, words that I write, instrumentals. Everything inspires me. One year I produced over 100 songs, because of that. My old music mentor told me that I'm crazy and It's impossible. I worked for 12-16 hours a day a lost 6 kg. I was skinny, extremly hungry and engaged

(•)> Which film do you rewatch the most?

Would I surprise you If I tell you that it is 8 Mile? I'm not movie freak, I watched it like 3 times, maybe. One of the most rewatched videos are concerts of rappers in their prime. I love to watch this hype! When I loose motivation I look on Youtube videos like Hopsin or Dr.Dre in the studio. Pure passion man!

(•)> How is your perfect day?

Close to "everday" is perfect now. Wake up, manage investments, some office work for an hour or two, breakfast, work till 2/3 P.M (producing in the studio, writing songs, promoting songs, writing emails, mixing etc.), going out to street workout park, practicing handstand and front lever for 2 hours, eat dinner at 6 P.M, chill for 30 minutes, get back to work. End at 9 P.M, spend some time with my family or read some books, go to sleep. I have problem with sleep sometimes. My head is full of thoughts and emotions. If I can't sleep I read or listen to albums. My days look like this like 95% of the time.

(•)> Will you tell us something embarassing about you?

I masturbate, even if this is considered as a sin. I'm healthy and strong man. I'm 23. My libido is crazy. Rather I would please myself with my hand than with some bitch who slept with 50 different men. I don't waste time on crazy bitches - for me It's more loser thing for people who don't know their value. I'm more into being alone that being surrounded by snakes. If I find wivey I will hop into this, but now It's time for business and money.

(•)> Do you sing in the shower? If yes, what's the setlist?

Most of the time I appreciate silence after whole day of hard work

(•)> What's your Hot Take - your most controversial music opinion?

Music business is perfect money laundering machine and artists who blew up are random exception of making profit
