Nathan Ryan Interview

I had the chance to chat with rapper Nathan Ryan to ask him A few questions, This is what he had to say.

At what age did you know you wanted to make music for A living?

Nathan Ryan: When I turned 18 and I went to a bunch of shows and when I went I loved the screaming crowds and the chills the performance gave me and that's when I realized I wanted to do that for people

 Very cool. Was there A particular artist that really inspired the decision?

NR:  I went to see gym class Heroes and The Roots live and it was just non-stop music for 4 hours and I had a really good time

Ok, I know you just released your "Top Shelf" mixtape and your currently getting ready for the "Smoke Loud Play Loud Tour" are their any other scheduled projects for you this year?

NR:  Bringing back all my YouTube parodies and YouTube channel. So I'm going back to doing parodies and music. I'm pretty much doing it all. Keeping my YouTube channel going with parodies when I'm not on the road doing shows and might be tagging along with some warped tour dates this summer.

 Awesome, Would this be your first time on warped tour?

NR: No I was on it in 2010

 Ok, so how was your first experience on warped? Did you get good reactions from the crowds?

NR:  I went along to do signings at a tent but I had anywhere from 50-100 kids come everyday for signings and pictures which was so awesome meeting everybody

 Very cool, So do you prefer performing live or recording in the studio more?

NR:  Live shows because I like the adrenaline rather than being in the studio because it's just me

 Awesome, Have fans reacted any different to your new music over your parodies?

NR:  Yes some people think my parodies are my actual music when really it's something I do in my spare time to keep new content up. I'm getting a really good reaction off of TopShelf since TopShelf is all me.

 Nice I really enjoyed Top Shelf I think it's some of the best work you've ever done what inspired you to give it away as A free download? I feel like it could have easily been an album also will there ever be hard copies made?

NR: I wanted to release something for free cause I have never had any of my music up for free and I just wanted people to hear it and tell all their friends. Nobody pays for music these days and the ones who do should be rewarded with some free tunes sometimes,And no hard copies or anything just free download on all my sites such as YouTube and soundcloud.

 My final question is where do you see yourself at 10 years from now?

NR: In 10 years I see myself helping others in music and I would like to be a host of an award show or hosting a tv show. I feel like it would be entertaining

I would like to thank Nathan Ryan for taking the time to talk to me and answer my questions. I suggest if you like him follow him on Facebook & Twitter for latest info. Nathan Ryan just released the Top Shelf mixtape which is up for free download on his Soundcloud. He is getting ready to hit the road for the Smoke Loud Play Loud Tour with Steez Click (Sev. & Rise of Brokencyde), Phat J (Formely of Brokencyde), JJ Demon & Potent Da Rockstar.
