SXSW is perhaps my favorite part of the year. There’s a certain amount of craziness that goes into covering the festival. But in the midst of all the madness, I have the unique privilege of getting to make connections with artists I respect. Despite mutual hectic schedules, HiphopKR got the opportunity to send some questions to R&B/hip-hop artist COLDE.

Tyno was raised in London and brings a unique flavor to hip-hop by incorporating aspects of music he was influenced by growing up in England as well as experiences he has had in Korea.
Enthusiastic Ambition: An Interview with Core.Low
One of the more satisfying aspects of what I do is being able to talk to an artist just as he’s getting his feet wet in the industry. Oftentimes, there’s a bit of reluctance to be too forward or open. They are, after all, just now stepping into an industry that can be quite unforgiving to those who make a little too much noise. However, many artists are just eager to get themselves heard. More, still, are willing to open themselves up to scrutiny for the sake of appealing to an audience who really doesn’t know who they are. Thus is the case with Core.Low. This young man has a heart for his music that is obvious in the way he talks about it and himself as an artist.
