So im just going to ask you a couple of questions,its nothing crazy

What is it that made you decide you wanted to make music?

Robin HD 0:23

I really enjoyed, like listening to it initially with rap and UK rap, it's the accessibility of it. You know these people aren't like they're not in a million pound studio they're not even with a record label. A lot of them just, when I used to watch the interviews with them. They were like, Oh, I was doing it in my room. I was doing it in my mates house. We just sat on a computer and recorded it so it seemed accessible. It seemed easy enough. And so I thought if, if they could have done it in their rooms like that, why can't I? so I just thought it'd be fun to give it a go.

What was the hardest thing about making the choice to become a musician?

Robin HD 1:11

The hardest…. What was the hardest choice to become a musician is definitely how people would react is because everyone's gonna judge you because of where you're from, you know what you look like you versus what they already know about you.

People compare this to what people in the industry already are like so it's the biggest people like JME and Dave, and when you say, I want to do that. Everyone's gonna be like, Well, you're not similar to them as a person. So what aren't you like those people?

People thought they could just like, question. My reasons. I think that was the hardest thing. Was just people just said it was like a stupid idea and it was quite hurtful to my feelings.

What was the hardest obstacle when starting this sort of thing?

Robin HD 1:59

Yeah, like apart from like, obviously it's hard enough trying to like just finding the right music to make, recording it, like working out how to get it mixed and mastered properly. And not like trying to do it all for as little money as possible as well. Like try not to waste like my money that I had on it. And also like the actual physical process is hard. And then even after you've made the song the marketing and just trying to get it out there was also a struggle, but it was the more you did it, the easier it was.
