Q&A WITH MASTA EDGE OF SOUL
What is your Name? Where are you from and what first got you interested in the entertainment industry?
My name is “Masta Edge of Soul” and I was raised in Suffolk Va. and Queens New York .
I guess my first interest in entertainment came at an early age. In my life I have known not singing. A song and music is who and what I am. I would say that my creativity and inspiration comes from the beautiful tones and the rhythm of music.
Who and/or what inspires you to create?
I can’t pick any one particular artist. It expands from James Brown, Nat Cole, Frank Sinatra, Frank Zappa! The Delfonics (my all time favorite group!) Motown , Phill International, Stax, The Beatles and many others.
THE CREATIVE PROCESS
How would you describe your sound?
I would describe my sound as soulful, edgy, tender, caring and rhythmic. I love all colors of music
What is your creative process like?
My creative process is in the fact that it flows through in every moment! I believe the music is continuously flowing through me.
I truly love making music! I love performing for fans. I feel that I have a message that needs to be heard.
