Interview: Pop Singer-Songwriter Ecstasy Talks About His New Song "Drunken Company"
/
“I get inspired by any and everything, my mind is like the stars in space.. kind of infinite in a way. It’s kind of a “you’re either blessed with it or you’re not” type of thing.”
We're huge fans of your new song "Drunken Company". Tell us about your creative process for its development and how you connected with its producer, Treymxn?
It wasn’t much, I just think about what I want to hear on the instrumental. The instrumental usually gives me the vibe I want to set for the song. Sometimes I will write out stories and what I want to go down in the song, sometimes I mix personal experiences with it. I just like to give the listener something to visualize. Relatability but yet dream-like.
I found Trey on YouTube searching for beats, I found his beats pretty nice. I was looking for pop like beats and fell into his page, along with few others. I actually showed him this song in his dm several months ago and he ignored me.
You mentioned that you started creating music last year; what motivated you to start songwriting and who are some artists that have influenced you?
I went a very long time hiding my voice when I was younger .. all throughout high school but I never hid my talent of dance. I don’t understand how I got so good at songwriting to be honest, I just kept writing for a year straight making music in my room.
I also mix and master everything from my computer and write my own music. No co-writers around me now and for so on. No artists really influenced my sound if I’m being honest, I started music based off of me being afraid of being myself musically in front of people. Sharing my voice and all.
Even in the future when I’m considered the biggest pop artist in the world I’ll still want to make music in the comfort of my own room. Here are some dancing videos of mine.
Tell us about your 4 song EP "Ecstasy's Song Compilations"; along with yourself, who else produced on it, and how did you decide which songs would be featured on it?
That song compilation EP is made from just a few of the good songs I made. I have a LOT more ideas that I plan on getting out. I produced “Tokyo Drift” which is a dark, alternative pop song with a banging 808. Donnie Katana produced “Pain In the Warzone 02’” and that is a R&B and Hip Hop type of song, “Angel Numbers”, which is an uptempo pop song.. you should hear a lot of bible like references in that song. It’s just speaking on falling in lust with a beautiful woman you know is no good for you. Last but not least “YNOBE’S LOVE”, a full on soul song I made thinking about my race of women basically how much they are will to love a man. How a lot of the times they are willing to do anything to keep him happy and end up loosing themselves in the process a lot of the time. That process helps them learn who they really are and helps them find the woman they truly are. No longer willing to take bs.
How I decide which songs would be on the compilation EP? Well that was a long process; before the EP wasn’t even named that… I was something a bit more serious.. but I think I want to wait until I get signed to make something serious.. I have A LOT of ideas to offer.
What are some things that inspire your creativity when developing new music?
I get inspired by any and everything, my mind is like the stars in space.. kind of infinite in a way. It’s kind of a “your either blessed with it or your not” type of thing.
What do you look for in the instrumentals that you decide to write to?
I like everything really, I like for the genres of the instrumentals to mix with each other very well.
With 2020 winding down, what are some of your goals musically for 2021?
Let’s just say awards… A LOT of awards and world acknowledgement. I want to have blown up going into 2021.
