I've been a fan of
Count Bass D since I was first introduced to his work back in 1998. His first album,
Pre-Life Crisis, is delightful but I got
really hooked with the release of
Art for Sale; a unique blend of hip-hop, R&B, soul, jazz, DIY, beatmaking and delightful vibes start to finish. Honestly, "
Beno" is a song that will be in my regular rotation until the end of time.
I've always admired Count's take on the music industry, his efforts to be self-sustaining and focus on his craft. He's been making music for over thirty years and has some great insights on existing as an independent artist.
So, when I saw that he did a two part interview with
Sounds Visual Radio,* I was very intrigued! I've just finished up
Part 1 and am diving into
Part 2 now. I'm happy to report it's as insightful as I'd hoped.
I suggest letting yourself take the deep dive into both Count Bass D and the Sounds Visual Radio archive.
