L04: Sub editing task

At 18 years young, Rapper K $torm has defied all the odds, and made a name for himself in the underground hip-hop scene. The rapper told us in a short interview, that he started producing beats at 12 years old, and that this was the foundation of his successful musical career. At age 14 years the musical artist started recording vocals over his beats, and stated "It was a great way to release all my anger and emotions". When we asked how he promoted his music in order to attain a target audience, he told us "Tumblr was the main platform I used to promote my music. I felt like it had a large audience of individuals, listening to the same music and having a similar artistic taste to me". After promoting his music this way, the artist started to attain a listening audience taking a liking to his music.  The artist also told us how he had offers from record labels, and stated that the management team of the  label, Lucid Records got in contact with him over a potential production, and recording deal. The artist however  stated “I opted to stay independent in order to give me the creative freedom that is highly expressed throughout my art”

The rapper also talked about the background he came from and told us that he came from a poor background, which he says inspired him to "go hard with his music". This therefore motivated him to put in the work he needed in order to get out of situation in order to become financially stable in life and for him to have a foundation in which he can support his family as well as himself
