Diving Deeper w/ Innocent
1. What originally made you want to pursue music full time? Was there any moment in your life that made you stop and realize that this was something you wanted to be serious about?
I think back to the time when I was 12 years old backstage at fozzyfest with my parents. That’s when I was like, I want to be that guy. My 13th birthday was a month away at the time, sure enough I opened my presents and there was a set of turntables with a mixer. I had lessons from the homies and start learning on my own. I played my first couple festivals that same year and just fell in love ever since. Shortly after the summer of 2017 my father put me into some Ableton lessons. And even linked me up with one of my best friends today “JustJust”. With the help from lessons, and John to get into production after I had been mixing for a year. I thought to myself wow I don’t think there’s anything else I’d want to do in life but music!! And I’ve been working hard on my brand ever since.
2. What is your biggest inspiration to this day that has helped shape your style of music and why?
Honestly I think growing up in my early teens getting to play alongside, and hangout with “JustJohn”, “Abstrakt Sonance”, “ColtCuts”, “Perkulat0r”, “JellyNote”, and “Kimati”. Those homies really guided me into bass music today. As when I first started I liked House, Funk, and GlitchHop with a bit of Dubstep because that’s what my dad liked. So after like my 3rd year of raving is when I knew what i liked and wanted to play.
3. What has been the biggest lesson you’ve learned since you started making music? Do you have any words of wisdom for aspiring producers hoping to follow in your footsteps?
Just keep to yourself and keep creating every day, begin developing a solid brand. Also self release, self release, self release. And most importantly there’s literally no rules to this production thing anymore. Do what lights your heart on fire, and stay humble.
4. What’s next for INNOCENT? What are some goals you’re trying to hit for your project?
As INNOCENT begins to wrap up this year. He has plans to release more music, including a mix before January. With his 19th birthday around the corner, Tyrell is looking forward to playing the legendary “Bloom Nightclub”. This coming winter, with the whole “DoYu Digital” Crew. With INNOCENT recently smashing it, Tyrell as well as his peers, are really excited to start watching his music career blossom. And he hopes that this interview & release will help him as well.
