N.B. Interview with #Lilbo561 on #Globalhiphopevents ::::: #ArtistInterviews

(Lilbo561)Tell Me about yourself?

(N.B.)I’m N.B short for Norris Bennett, aka N.B the Rapper/Sanger Dude, I was born in Douglas, Ga. My father was in the military so our family moved around a lot, so I was constantly traveling so I had the opportunity to discover different cultures and environments, which would eventually open doors to many things.

Starting around age four, I would sing and perform for family, friends, neighbors, and anyone that was around and willing to listen. Whenever or wherever there was music, I was there. That was the start of my passion of music, singing, and performing. As I got older I strayed away from music and performing and became more interested in other things like girls, clubs, and drinking. But no matter how hard I fought, the passion to sing and perform was still in my heart.

While working extremely hard on my music career I felt as though no one in my hometown was making any progress or better yet any "major moves", so I decided to make it happen on my own. I became a man on a mission; a mission to be heard, seen and taken seriously in the music industry, so I set out to master my singing voice, and shortly after mastering my singing voice I began to rap. In 2006 I decided quit my job to pursue his music full time.

(N.B.)
I am and have always been my favorite manager, because no one will believe in you like you believe in yourself.

(lilbo561)Where would you like to be in your career five years from now?

(N.B.)
To be a CEO of my own independent record label, find and develop talented artist and give them the knowledge that I didn’t have about this music game.

(Lilbo561)What are strengths? and What Are your Weakness?

(N.B.)
It depends if we’re talking as an artist or personally, if we’re talking personally, we don’t have enough paper for that! But as an artist, I feel I was blessed to understand the arrangement of a song

and what the beat tells me to write on paper, having the ability to be versatile with music with regards to singing and rapping, and just being able to understand how a song is made. My weakness is being able to rap and sing, because each one of those gifts I’m only putting 50% in it, if you don’t put 100% you don’t get the full effect, but it’s balancing out for me, so far.

(Lilbo561)What do you enjoy about this industry?

(Lilbo561)Give me an example of when you have felt anger? how did you cope　　and　 you still perform your work?

(N.B.)
When a club promoter booked me to perform and told me he had a couple of bottles but, ended up not having any, and I ended up buying my own, I got angry and then left, then came back the next night and performed like nothing ever happened.

Ive been dealing with that part of my life and it hasn’t been easy, because I wear my emotions on my sleeves, sometime it can be interpret the wrong way though I mean well. At the end of the day I need people around that understand me and wont provoke me, once I get provoked all gets loosed.

(N.B.)
My mom is my hero, its hard being a single mother raising two bad boys.(shout out to all the single mothers)
