Q: So, Ce-ILLA?, where were you born and raised?
A: I was born and raised in the city of North Long Beach, CA.
Q: Ah, representing the West Coast! What style or types of music do you listen to?
A: I have a pretty eclectic taste in music, but my main focus is on hip hop. I like that old-school boom bap sound, as well as G-funk and funk. I also have a soft spot for jazz.
Q: Nice, sounds like you have a lot of influences in your music. Who are some of your biggest influences?
A: Definitely J Dilla, RZA, and Dr. Dre are three of my biggest inspirations in terms of production. As a rapper, I really look up to artists like Nas Chino XL and Ras Kass for their ability to tell stories through their lyrics. DJing has also always been a big influence, as I started out as a DJ before getting into rapping and producing.
Q: That's a solid lineup of influences, for sure. But who really inspired you to make music in the first place?
A: Growing up in Long Beach, I was exposed to a lot of different types of music, but it was really the local scene that inspired me to get into making music. I was always amazed by the talent of the rappers and producers in my community, and I wanted to be a part of that. It wasn't until later on that I really started to find my own voice and develop my own style of music.
