Interview With Rising Indie Artist C.R.E. hosted by Qween$Ching

The name is Chris Roland and music is my life. I am originally from and represent Asheville, NC. I have lived all over the world and that is credited to my father serving in the United States Army for most of my youth. Every track I write and every freestyle I spit comes from my experiences and how my live has evolved. My style is unorthodox but without question is always based on my life experiences at every level because if music is life, then my life both past and present is key to what I rap about.

I want to promote personal growth through an understanding that success does not come without struggle and failure not is100 percent negative. On another note I want people to hear my music not just with their ears but to hear to hear me with their hearts and open their minds. I don’t want for the music to draw fans based on lies and the exploits of others but for the world to hear and feel my music as I know I am speaking the way many people feel but may not have the ability to express their opinions. 

My musical inspiration comes from classical music, funk, and hip hop legends. Some of those albums include All Eyes on Me, Ready to Die, The Chronic and The Black Album and timeless single hits such as Summertime, Juicy, and Rappers Delight.  influences everything I put into the music. Without the discipline to keep moving forward and hold the attributes Love, Loyalty, and Respect are key, C.R.E (Creative-Refined-Excellent) could not exist.
