ARTISTS ON THE WATCH: VISIONZ2TURNT & BIGMOSHAWTY

Tell us some more about how you first got into music.

BigMoShawty -


Coming from a place in Henderson, NC where there wasn’t much to do as kid but go outside and make the best of it.


All I saw was the older crowd doing what they do.


Selling dope, fighting, drinking, you know the usual activities in the projects.


Living under those circumstances as a kid, you tend to think it’s the best way to live.


I actually had more good times growing up in CedarHurst.


That’s the name of the place that made me.

Music always been a part of me.


I never took it serious though.


I would just play around with it.


Like, writing down the lyrics to a song and studying it until I knew the words.


I would perform in my room in front of a mirror.


Around the age 17, I started taking it more serious; writing music on my own and making my own beats.


Me and a few partners of mine use to stand under the street lights at night and rap.


I wanted to follow in the footsteps of my family Small World, Brolic D aka Poppa Bandz, and Perfect Harmany.


They go by the name of NorfClk.


At that time they had a record deal with Ludacris's label DTP.


I always felt that one day I would be somebody in the music industry.


Don’t know where I’ll end up but I know it will be somewhere.


Visionz2Turnt -


I started making music because its soothing and calmed me down as a kid.


It gave me a gateway away from the violence and the crimes I seen everyday growing up in Washington, DC.


I started off writing poetry and then freestyling in the hallways at school before I was able to write a full song.


I don’t have a creative process like most artist do.


I write my lyrics, but it’s a new process called freewrite.

It sounds crazy but I freestyle and write it down as I freestyle so I don’t forget it.


When I hear a beat I immediately write a verse in less than 5 minutes full 16 bars.
