We sat down with inglewoodSiR to hear about the new album ChasingSummer, his touring experiences & more.
In 2011, a talented group of Inglewood brothers known as the WoodWorks excitedly opened up for TDE at the Whiskey a Go Go in West Hollywood, Calif. A youngFast forward seven years later, SiR would find himself opening for Kendrick Lamar again, this time, in front of nearly 20,000 screaming fans all the way across the globe in Seoul, South Korea.
So I used to work at a bank, that shit sucked. I had to work at LA Fitness, that was terrible. I always had a bad experience working for people. Then, I went to school for music, and that's when everything kind of shifted to where I was like, “Okay, I don't ever want to be in a situation where I have to like work for somebody in particular. I want to be my own boss. I want to work for myself.
It sure was. Oh my God. Honestly, I think it’s just Americans in general have a tough time realizing that motherfuckers have fun without us. People live life without us, and have cultures outside of this. We sat down, had some of the best Korean BBQ I’ve ever had in my life... and that was great. We performed at the Olympic Stadium. That was just such a crazy time. I opened up for Kendrick Lamar.
My biggest lesson is me. How do I keep myself sane? How do I stay faithful in a room full of hoes? I can't say that I was built for this, you know what I mean? I still can't say that I'm supposed to “be an artist.” I'm not that type of guy. I look like it now, because I’m playing these records. But at the end of the day, if I had to choose between my family and being an artist, there's no question, I'm going to choose my family 10 times out of 10.
Man, I really love my city. I could talk about it a lot because I think that's one thing that will never change. No matter if I change as a musician, or if I change as an artist, I'm still will be an Inglewood boy. Where you from is where you from.
