Interview with Rising Indie Artist Suave Hosted by Qween$Ching

Born Oct 2nd at the height of the 90’s, Suave entered the world along with the new voice of rap music which set the tone for a life aligned with his style of delivery: raw, stylized and unapologetic. Having grown up all over the popularly coined DMV (D.C., Maryland & Virginia) area, the young artist began to explore his wild side as a youth which included playing sports and getting into mischief like most children, watching cartoons and acting out some of his favorite martial arts films. For the amount of time spent “discovering” the world, Suave spent a great deal of time alone. During this period, he began to embrace his true passion for music and began singing in the choir at Rehobeth Baptist Church in Washington, DC.

However, the choir life didn’t withstand the calling for the streets  as the unorthodox Suave took to the streets as a teenager and started becoming involved with the go-go bands who’ve influenced the nation with the renowned sound of snares and bass mixed with a little conga drums and hi-hat instrumentation. For all that DC represented at the turn of the century, Suave was right there to capture it in his youth as his influences included a blend of old soul from the likes of Stevie Wonder & Donnie Hathaway to the funk and synths of Jimi Hendrix and Prince to the unforgettable and game changing lyrics of his favorite Andre 3000, Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. One night on the highway created a sense of invincibility like none other as the sounds of UGK’s “Get Throwed” made him hit the highway at 100mph, stamping that it was rap music that he wanted to pursue and he wasn’t going to stop until he reached the height of success like those featured on the track that played every morning for three years straight.

Suave's managers Swagg Money and Pop J have both been in the industry 20 years!
