Interview: New Jersey Based Artist Sean Roane Talks About His Single "2 Step"
/
“I started writing songs when I was 10-11 years old. I gave up my music dreams in high school and rediscovered my passion for writing music when I was in college.”
Salute to you on the release of your new single "2 Step"; what inspired you to write it and how did you connect with its producer BlakKat206?
THANK YOU! I actually wrote “2 Step” while vacationing in Los Angeles. I listen to a lot of 70s and 80s R&B and BlakKat is really good at sampling old hits. I don't know BlakKat personally yet because he lives in California, but I have been writing to his beats that he has on YouTube since 2018.
With "2 Step" now released, what can we expect next from you musically, and will this track be appearing on an upcoming EP or album?
I have a new song out now called “Straight Tomorrow”. I just plan to release more singles and put out more music videos. Singles is where it's at now.
Tell us about how you got started writing rhymes and what you remember about the first few tracks you recorded; also when did you realize that you were gifted musically?
I started writing songs when I was 10-11 years old. I gave up my music dreams in high school and rediscovered my passion for writing music when I was in college.
The first few songs that I recorded were catchy, but trash in my opinion. I hadn't found my sound yet and my delivery was horrible. I knew I was good by the positive feedback that I would get from most people.
Your debut project “Affordable Excellence” was released in 2013; what are you most proud of with this album?
I was just happy to finish the project. It basically took me 6 months to complete that album. I recorded a bunch of rough drafts in my bedroom and then I rerecorded all those records at an actual studio.
I had never been in a real studio before so it was a great experience. I have very fond memories of that whole time period.
If you had to describe your music to a stranger in three words, which ones would you choose?
Smooth Playa Shit.
There's no other way to describe my music lol
