What city are you from/ Where are you based now?
I’m from Corona, CA, but I moved around The Inland Empire my whole life, I was never really in one spot for that long, but as of now I live in Riverside, CA.
What is your artist name? What is your real name? How did you get your artist name?
Sky Hendrix is my artist name, as well as my real name. My mom named me it and I was always subconscious around my name. I use to go by MYHM, towards last year I realized I wanted to make the switch.
How would you describe your sound to readers who may not be familiar with you?
It’s hard to explain, I really hop on everything, I can go from some hella west coast stuff or some boom bap to pop. Most of my music has a pop/R&B influence to it though forsure, I be singing but I make it fly.
What’s one reason you are passionate about music and what inspires you?
Music was just one of those things I was born to do, I was a young kid dancing and singing to MTV when it was at its Music Prime, I really was just in my own world with it, and it just eventually became my reality.
Seeing things I’ve never seen before or just life best influences me I realized, I kinda just let life happen around me and I let it influence my vibe when I’m making music.. I don’t like forcing it.
Who are some of your main musical influences?
I loved listening to Timbaland, Outkast, Pharrell, Pac, Em, 50 as a kid that forsure made a huge impact on me today, I’m always listening to some YE, Kendrick or Cole, or like some Tory Lanez a lot though, I love the way they structure they albums and I wanna do the same.
Tell us the name of the project you are currently promoting? What inspired this project?
I got a project on the way called, “SWITCH,” a 5 track EP, I haven’t dropped the title yet so I’m saying it first on REMIXD MAGAZINE.
I guess what inspired the name was SWITCHing my approach all around ya know? like I recorded every song on the project during a crazy time in my life, I ended up doing music full time, and switching my name… My life isn’t even the same any more from before this project was made… just a whole new person FR
Date that this project dropped or is set to drop?
I’m in the process of getting it mastered as of now and figuring out the perfect day for it but as of now late September forsure.
What is this project about in your own words?
This project is actually a project based on writer’s block… I was working on my “now next project” and I suddenly just lost inspiration early 2021.. Later 2021, I got out of my rut and the tape started just coming together naturally but, I had to take a step back and SWITCH my approach with music. I ended up really getting into depth with engineering the music with not just me but other people, which ended up helping me a whole lot in the long run. I made hella songs and I really just liked the 5, I think they really explained, myself as the project was being made.
What’s next for you? Are you working on any upcoming projects we should be on the lookout for? Include some dates if you have them.
Yea I got a whole lot coming, I got an album dropping January its music from 2020 & 2022 pretty much done, too. As of now, I’m working on singles, and possibly an R&B album as well once I get the right production on it.
Also like what I said earlier, I’ve been engineering as well, so I been working and recording other artist’s projects as well that are goin crazy right now too just tryna be that guy, all around everything fire. Cant wait till even that comes out, I started making beats too so hopefully one day you’ll see some production from me.
What message do you hope fans take away from your music and from this project?
Truly I hope, y’all take this project into consideration, like if y’all goin through tough time and you wanna quit — don’t. Because your own doubts get the best of you and your own potential. You never know when you’re gonna see the light, if you really passionate about something you’ll make it happen.
