Boston Lo Fi Trap Artist: Miles Karter
Q: What do you like about being an up and coming artist in Boston?
A: I like the fact that the scene itself is still trying to find it's place in the overall market. I really think the collective of talent in the city is pushing forward to create something great and it’s dope to be a part of it.
Q: How would you describe your music in three ways?
A: “Lo Fi Trap”, lol I stole that from Tony Bodega but still it’s accurate.
Q: When performing, what do you think is the most important thing?A: Making sure I sound as clear on stage as I do on record and not being limited by space or stage design.
Q: What makes your music different?
A: Authenticity & intent. Music that’s true to myself and my experience with the world.
Q: Who is your biggest inspiration, this can be anybody in any industry, friends, or family?
A: Close family and friends obviously inspire me to succeed beyond just music but as far as musically NipseyHussle, Lupe Fiasco and Wiz Khalifa are definitely big influences.
Q: How do you find places to record your music? Where do you record your music?
A: It has been a law of attraction sort of thing when it comes to finding studios. Once people hear the music they always suggest places. I have one studio that’s been acting as a creative nucleus but I’m not tryna give the game away like that lol. Shoutout to Mertz tho, I’ll give that hint.
Q: What is the easiest and hardest part of your career?
A: The easiest part is the fact that I get to express unfiltered thought over music. The hardest part is that it’s not my career all the way yet. We’re working on that for 2020 though lol.
Q: How do you get the ideas for your music videos?
A: It is generally a meeting of the minds between my team, myself, and the videographer but I want to start fully fleshing out the way I want some of these new visuals to go.
Q: What is one goal you have set for 2020?
A: Solidify my brand and properly monetize it while empowering some of the artist and creators in my circle to do the same.
Q: What has changed the most since when you have started your career, about your music or your career in general?
A: Definitely the reception and support for the music. At first you send out links or show up to these events and they leave you on seen or act like they don’t know who you are. Those same people want a verse or hook or for me to show up to their events nowadays. I never take it personal though I feel like it means I have a lot more work to do on my end.
