Explain who you are for those who don’t know
I’m Cliff aka Summit a Rap/Hiphop artist from Washington WV. I also enjoy playing Guitar, and piano. Music is my life.
Where are you from?
I was born in Fort Stewart GA, but was raised in Washington WV. Its not my favorite place, but im currently working towards moving to SC.
Whats it like growing up where your from?
Life in the beginning wasn’t easy for me. I got mixed up in the wrong crowd at a young age, and started doing at lot of drugs which put me down a path I hope I never see again. I knew I needed to clean myself up and enrolled in a military school back in 2011 which probably saved my life.
How did you get into music?
There wasn’t much to do around here when I was younger, and after listening to my favorite artist Eminem I knew right then I had the music bug. So I downloaded Fruity Loops on my mothers computer at age 12 and when my parents would go to bed i’d get on my mothers laptop so i could figure out how to use the software. After I became in-tune with Fruity Loops I started making beats then id go to my room and write lyrics to them. Shorty after my buddy Ryan and I would sit in my car and record songs together on our phones, and every night we also free styled over multiple tracks to get better at our craft. Now I have a studio set up in my walk-in closet and spend most my time recording my music using Ableton Live 9 Standard. Funny how one artist can influence your life.
What is it that you do?
Honestly i spend most my time playing different instruments, and writing/recording music.
What are your goals?
My goals are to create music people of all backgrounds can vibe to. Some of my music can be pretty vulgar, and others tell stories about my life growing up. Ultimately I wanna break into the industry and do what I love to do. Make Music
What are you currently working on?
I’m currently working on my mix-tape, “From nothing to something”
How do you feel about the current state of HipHop?
I feel people these days care more about a catchy hook than the stories they tell, and alot of what I hear today is very repetitive. Some of the music I hear i’m like how the h*** did this make it on the radio.
