WE INTERVIEW OXOMO!
What influenced the creative process of your ost recent single, The Way We’re Taught?
The Way We’re Taught’ was just made for fun to be honest, Chef Perrin (the producer) is a very old friend of mine and he had been wanting to work on something together for a while but he lives in Australia these days so when he was back over in the UK last year we jumped in the studio and made this! Was all done in one fluid session but just sat waiting for release for a while!
Has being an artist in the rap scene in Brighton had any influence in your music?
Being an artist in Brighton is kind of a double edged sword because there’s so many other creatives and rappers etc, on one hand it’s great because thre’s so many scene is very close-knit and everyone kind of does know everyone, which I guess can sometimes be a negative thing when dramas and disagreements come up but all in all I’d say Brighton is a great place to be starting out as an artist!
What influenced you in starting your own record label, Collective Mind Records?
I started Collective Mind Records when I was super young and naive, didn’t have any budget or really any connections to get things done but we somehow made it work, but to begin with the idea was to build something local that helped build the scene up a little bit, I wanted to put on shows and book artists that we wanted to see and release music we wanted to hear and it just snowballed from there really!
Whats your favourite venue to perform in Brighton and what makes it your favourite?
My favourite venue to perform at? That’s a tough one, every venue in Brighton has its own charm and vibe but I’d have to go with Chalk as the sound and atmosphere is always 10/10 but that would be closely followed by Green door store just because we’ve had so many memories there!
