PBD Grey “Artist, Social Entrepreneur, and Father”
“I’m an Artist, Social Entrepreneur, and Father.”
Q: What inspired your project I Wish You Love? What is your favorite song off the record?
I felt like love was missing in music and I wanted to put out a project that embodied love in it’s entirety, not just the mushy love but tough love too. My favorite record off the project is “It’s Yourz (The World)”
Q: What made you want to make a physical record of your album?
I feel that as artists, we are being finessed out of our art. The streaming model is good and bad for us. You can reach more people, yet you are expected to upload your art for free. That is rape in my eyes. So I now encourage all Independent artists to create a unique physical experience for their fans in some shape and capacity. For me, I Set a goal to sell a certain amount of physical units to cover my costs of making the project and some. And then, only after I recouped what I spent to make the project and made a profit … then I released it to the streaming sites where they give you a percentage of pennies for a stream. Make sure you get yours first before they get theirs.
Q: What is Plant Base Drippin? What made you want to make clothing and get into that side of the industry?
Plant-Based Drippin is a healthy lifestyle brand. Eat healthy, be dope is our motto! I created the brand after a freestyle video I created went viral. (Vegan Thanksgiving) After the huge wave of support for the video and music I created, I decided I wanted to have the same impact with apparel and help people become more health-conscious. We have been Plant-Based Drippin ever since.
