during quarantine.
Interviewer: How did you get your Artist name?
Interviewee: My real name is Jacob Graves. At first I wanted to call myself 541Scotty, because Scott is my middle name and 541 is my town's area code, but I didn't feel that really represented me, so I dropped that and one day decided that I was going by my last name, Graves. I feel like that emulates who I am more than anything.
Interviewer: How would describe your musical style?
Interviewee: My music sounds like the end of the world. From the future, yet reminiscent. It's really a trip.
Interviewer: What inspired the record?
Interviewee: I just wanted to show people what I could really create. I wanted to lock in and produce my own sound after being inspired from many works of music and art at the time. [hadn't really had access to good equipment before the album, and I was just getting really bored of rapping on type beats. So I saved up money and got a new recording setup and I kinda just felt something click and I ran with it.
Once that happened, I couldn't wait to share my "dystopia" sound with the world.
Interviewer: What makes this body of work different than others?
Interviewee: It's something new and refreshing.
I don't think anyone is really creating what I'm creating and that's what makes it stand out to me.
Interviewer: What message do you want fans to walk away with after listening to your music?
Interviewee: I just want the next generation to stray away from what's popular and do something different. I want people to feel refreshed and empowered listening to my music, and I also want to make art that people can relate to.
Interviewer: What's next for you?
Interviewee: I have an album called "Art Music" coming out later this year, it's my realest body of work yet. Definitely a culture shock. And then who knows, I'll figure it out once I get there.
Interviewer: Is there anything else you want to say?
