    Interview with Sincurr

    By: Where It Begins

    Q. Tell everyone who you are and what you do?

    A. First, thank you for having me. Who I am is a complicated question, but I’m an entrepreneur, a musician and an audio engineer amongst other things.

    Q. How would you define the music you create?

    A. I would describe my music as real Hip-Hip. I’m from New York and I grew up in the 90s and the 2000s. I feel like, at that time, we had a lot lyricism. The people coming out then had a good time, but they were also still actual artists. Some would call what I do conscious hip-hop, but I just consider myself a hip-hop artist.

    Q. What has been your greatest accomplishment you’ve received in your career?

    A. When someone tells me they can relate to my song and it gave them a different perspective, or made them feel like they weren’t alone, that’s what really makes me feel accomplished. As an artist, that is all that I can ask for if my music actually helps and changes lives.

    Interview with Vincent Ingala

    By: Where It Begins

    Q. Tell everyone who you are and what you do?

    A. My pleasure! My name is Vincent Ingala, and I am an urban jazz multi instrumentalist. I enjoy producing music in the studio and going on the road to perform and entertain.

    Q. What made you want to pursue a career in Jazz?

    A. I have been surrounded by music and have been playing music since as far back as I can remember. I was playing on the local scene all through high school and paying dues. Overtime, things started to progress on a more national level where I would get requests for appearances at jazz festivals all over the country, and things then progressed from there. It was a slow gradual process that took time, but my strong passion for music made it easy to enjoy each step of the process.

    Q. Let’s talk about “Fire & Desire” and the motivation behind the album?

    A. This album was recorded in 2020, when most musicians had nothing but time to create and write music since touring was not possible. As a result, I was able to pour all of my time and energy into this project without any distractions and bring some fresh new creations and ideas to life.
