HomeCookingShare: To begin, who are you?

Big Crease: I am Big Crease from Los Angeles, i think of myself as a creative person. I love to draw, paint, tattoo, anything to express myself really. I am a single father to my daughter, so everything im striving for is for her. I’m someone who cares a lot about others well being. The name Big Crease came from me ironing my pants from middle school to the end of high school. It was the way I dressed, not for attention or nothing, just my pops wouldn’t let me leave the house without ironing. My friends noticed and that is what they called me, I then wrote it everywhere.

HCS: How would you define your music?

BC: My music comes in different varieties. I find myself in a position where I’m able to speak about experiences of growing up in rougher neighborhoods. I am also able to speak on the world, because i truly live in it and i personally go through this economic struggle as well. I can also speak on experiences of being a parent, and the beginnings of starting a family. I only speak on things that i truly believe in and what actually affects me. I make Jazz, Blues, Hip Hop, Lo-Fi, Rap, and even Trap music. I like being able to get on any beat.

HCS: What made you decide one day to embark on this musical adventure?

BC: I had started working on music in 2015, just making music for myself I didn’t think I would still be doing this in 2019 with a whole different vibe and flow.

HCS: Your influences?

BC: Growing up I would always hear Oldies but Goodies around my house and neighborhood, I would listen to a bit of everything in middle school from, Alternative Rock, to Tupac. High School days I would listen to SPM, Phora, and Chicano Rap. Now I listen to 03 Greedo, Cuco, Rebelution, and chill music.

HCS: If you had to leave on a desert island with 3 discs: which ones?

BC: Art Laboes Dedicated to you Volume 3, Tupac’s Greatest Hits and Brenton Woods 18 Best

HCS: The perfect track to cook?

BC: A jazzy sample with a mix of trap drums and regular drums, with a deep bass.. I like making songs about reality, something that when you hear a certain thing, you will have a relation to it.

HCS: Small technical point: with what material do you work?

BC: I have a “Blue” microphone, with MacBook using GarageBand.

HCS: Not easy to break into the musical jungle, even with talent ... what do you think about it?

BC: It's a very steep hill headed upwards. A lot of support is what I’ve felt so far. There is always someone who doesn’t like the way you do. I feel if you don’t do it first people are going to say you are jocking someone else’s style/flow. The best thing I believe is to make as much music as you can and drop it as soon as it’s perfect.
