Akil B. Strange Interview With Colby

American rapper, Akil B. Strange stopped by for a chat!

Colby: What Do You Enjoy Most About Being A Musician?

Akil: The transmutation of human emotion into the language of nature.

Colby: Which Track Of Yours Means The Most To You?

Akil: Pavement. It encapsulates the spiritual path I have been on as an artist and a human being. When I lose sight of my purposes that song reminds me.

Colby: The First-Ever Gig You Played, Can You Remember It? How Was It?

Akil: Not really. It was at Vassar. I was a student. And most likely wasted. It was definitely fire tho.

Colby: What Do You Think Is The Key To Success As A Musician?

Akil: An impenetrable work ethic. Thick skinned perseverance. Some degree of passion.

Colby: If You Wasn’t A Musician, What Job Would You Be Doing?

Akil: F**k a job and the industrial system. I’d be deep in the woods eating mushrooms, talking to trees, and taking care of my Mother Earth. And training my son to be a young shaman. That’s my job.

George Millington is a music journalist and reviewer situated in central London. He does not write about a single genre but rather the commercial music industry as a whole. His first album was by The Beatles, which he purchased secondhand from a charity shop in his neighbourhood.

He discovered the gem when he was 12 years old and still has it now, claiming it to be why he fell in love with music. He likes to play disc golf when he's not writing about music. He is a one-of-a-kind individual who is always the first to bust out his air guitar on the dance-floor.

George graduated with first-class honours in music journalism in 2012 and promptly found work in the music industry. Also, he has written about some of the world's most famous musical stories throughout his time at GSGM, which he joined in 2016.
