FreeSol Interview

Tell us about yourselves. What are your names? Where are you guys from?
FreeSol Anderson - the creator and mc of the band from Memphis TN.
E. Ives - The guiatarist and vocals from Memphis by way of Alabama.
Kickman - drums and vocals from West Memphis Arkansas.
Mo Danger - Keys and Bass from Germany, Alaska, & South Carolina.
Dj. Charlie White - Dj from Virginia.

How did you guys get your start in the music industry? What or who inspired all of you?
-We all have spent our lives both in love and involved in music. We met each other with the same goal, to start a rap band, almost 9 years ago in Memphis, TN. There was no one inspiration for all of us. Its 5 of us, so obviously, our horizon of music streches wide and far. Examples would be Prince, U2, Police, TuPac, MJ, ColdPlay, Sade, Kanye West, Jay-Z, and so on.

What upcoming projects are you guys working on? Anything something special coming up?
-We are dropping our Interscope LP, debut "No Rules" this fall. We worked with producers/writers from Timbaland, Jim Jonsin, Cool and Dre, Dave Tozer, Angie and Janae, Rob Knox and Justin Timberlake. One of our favorites, "Audition" is featuring our hometown legend, 8 Ball from the space age pimps 8 Ball and MJG. Make sure you check it out here for tour dates to see when we will be in your area

If you could describe the music of FreeSol in a few adjectives what would they be?
-I can't. Ill let you try!

Are there any artists out there you guys would like to have the chance to work with? If so who?
-Personally, I would like to work with Kanye, Nikki Minaj, and 30 seconds from Mars.


What does the word "based" mean to you? and if you didn't know what it meant until now what do you think of it?
-I wasn't familar with the term but after hearing your definition I would say it sounds a lot like FreeSol. I definitely do what I want when I want. I've never been lead by anyone's opinion over my own.

Who are your favorite artists right now? Who's playing through your speakers?
-We all have different favorite artists but right now mine would be Kanye West, 30 seconds from Mars, Big Sean, Miguel, and Rick Ross.

What’s some advice you guys can give to everyone that you have learned so far in your journey that could come in handy to someone else?
-My advice to someone trying to get a break in the music business or just achieve any dream, period would be to make sure its really your number one dream. If your not committed then you have to be really lucky. Nothing major is going to fall in your lap. It takes hard work, focus, sacrifice, sweat, blood on top of luck, knowing the right people, and fate. Just make sure you are listening to the voice inside of us all with a pure heart and not with greed or selfishness.
