DJ Duce interviews recording artist Pasty James on his influence and motivation in music.
DJ Duce: Share some insight on how the streets reflected in your music and what was one experience that changed you?
Pasty James: I grew up seeing a lot as a kid. I grew with my cousins who were gang banging, plus my daddy and grandfather sold drugs but I got involved at a young age trying to get in the streets. it just taught me to struggle hard and I always wanted more.
DJ Duce: You were born in Paducah, KY but were back and forth between Missouri and Illinois. How did this constant change of states & environment impact your music? Did you find it harder or easier?
Pasty James: I don't know what it was like to be in Kentucky, but in and out of Missouri and Illinois only made me feel like the country mouse and city mouse. I got both sides in me but I also have different personalities.
DJ Duce: Your most recent single "Starvin" shed some light on the overall concept of that track?
Pasty James: It’s just how I felt at the time. I was going through something at the time when I dropped that song. I had a baby on the way.
DJ Duce: What is one piece of music advice you could give an upcoming artist that you may have experienced?
Pasty James: Don’t stop doing you, go hard!
DJ Duce: In 5 years, where do you want to be in music? Where do you see your music career in 5 years?
Pasty James: Signed to a major label. Doing good, making videos and in a real studio.
