\n
When did you first get into music?<\/b><\/div>\n
J Carlyle<\/b><\/div>\n
I’ve always loved music from a child, learning the dances and stuff but didn’t start writing myself until I was like 14\/15, that’s when I started out as a Grime MC, but just grew my<\/div>\n
skills over the years, then I started teaching writing workshops for local youths.<\/div>\n
Great Adamz<\/b><\/div>\n
I got into music when I was 9 years old in the choir singing with my mother however, professionally, I started releasing music when I was 16 years old but I did stop for a while to go to the university which I finished and graduated from University of Northampton with a B.Sc in Human Resource.<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What has influenced you and your music?<\/b><\/div>\n
J. Carlyle<\/b><\/div>\n
My parents and family; I grew up on MTV and old school dub as well. Lovers Rock, which led to understanding the different emotions behind different genres.<\/i><\/div>\n
Great Adamz<\/b><\/div>\n
Well, my biggest influence is the Nigerian culture; Afrobeats is a way of life and melody comes from local traditional elements mixed together with language and old sound so I have to say my biggest influence is the Nigerian culture and of course, my mother, as she was the first to introduce me to the African sound.<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What was the inspiration behind “Forever Girl?”<\/b><\/div>\n
J. Carlyle<\/b><\/div>\n
As an artiste, my ethos is “making music that I like to listen to.” I heard the instrumental and was inspired straight away; it has a Caribbean\/Afrobeat vibe, which also made me think that getting Great Adamz to feature would work – evidently, it’s worked out beautifully – I believe it’s a song for everyone to enjoy.<\/i><\/div>\n
Great Adamz<\/b><\/div>\n
When I heard the song, it was half way done already and it was very Bashment Jamaican; I didn’t want to bring in anything to it if it won’t be different or special so I decided to take a different direction and take the sound to West Africa – the inspiration was to create music that appreciates women with an African melody as well as a Caribbean melody too.<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Who are your musical inspirations?<\/b><\/div>\n
J. Carlyle<\/b><\/div>\n
My musical inspiration is the world, whether it’s songs\/quotes from conversations or watching\/experiencing life; artistes I listen to or look up to vary – I love Vybz Kartel as much as I love System Of A Down – I can appreciate all good music as a work of art but Reggae\/Dancehall and R&B is where the heart is.<\/i><\/div>\n
Great Adamz<\/b><\/div>\n
Lucky Dube and Grace Lori.<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What can we expect from you in the future?<\/b><\/div>\n
J. Carlyle<\/b><\/div>\n
More music. Different genres. Collaborations with different artistes. I’m gonna leave a positive impact in the world.<\/i><\/div>\n
Great Adamz<\/b><\/div>\n
More music and a couple of new music videos from my EP titled “This Is ME,” which is out now on all digital platforms.<\/i><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
