Tierz

Hi Tierz, thanks for joining us! Let’s get into it:

Do you play solo only, or also in a group?

Solo

How old are you?

Where were you born?

South London

Where did you grow up?

Westerham

How did that place influence your music? (if at all!)

A bit but to be honest most of my music influence is from experiences of life.

Where are you based now, and why?

I am Based in Oxted Surrey as we moved here from Bro ley when my second child was born for a better quieter life.

What got you into making music in the first place?

My nan told me to write my feelings down on paper and the lyrics started to thyme and with my influences in the music I put them to a beat and now here we are

What instrument/s do you play?

Singing
Rapping

Who would be in your top 10 musical influences, and why?

I am influenced by musicians as a whole I think that everyone is an inspiration for having the craft and drive to perform and showcase their talent

Do you write your own songs?

Yes

How many years have you been writing songs for?

What process, or processes, do you often find yourself using when you write songs?

I hear an instrumental and just let the pen get to work

How long have you been playing open mic nights?

Why did you get into playing them in the first place?

I fond them a great way to network

What advice would you give new performers who are just starting out playing their first open mics?

Don’t be scared we have all done our dirt show.

What’s the hardest thing, for you, about playing open mics?

Not knowing what the crowd is like and if they will like your music

What’s the most bizarre, or fun, open mic, or gig, you’ve ever played, and why?

I played a show in Leamington spa and one of the ladies from the crowd became very forward with me and after a few drinks she got thrown out of the venue when she was out side she was waiting for me to go out their ( to my unknowing at the time) the wall to outside was made of glass and when she saw me coming after my set she started to dry hemp and lick the wall saying her and I should get jiggy ( which I didn’t ) with this I swiftly turned around and went to the V.I.P area to smoke a cigarette instead.

If it’s not already, are you hoping to make music your full-time career?

Yes

What do you currently find the hardest and biggest obstacles to moving your music career forward?

Financing the music as travel and even equipment is expensive.

What’s the one truth about you that people often find surprising?

Some of my jokes are funny

What’s the most exciting project you’re working on at the moment?

I am working on an EP with a producer that is going to be my demo for Sony Records and Last Ten Records and hopefully sign a record deal with them.
