The Blast Spotlight: Jessi Jae Joplin

Check out our Blast one one one interview with Blast featured artist Jessi Jae Joplin.

 

The Giant Blast:  How would you describe yourself as an artist?  

Jessi Jae Joplin:  Indescribable.    

The Giant Blast:  What does Jessi Jae Joplin get into outside of music?

Jessi Jae Joplin:  Besides music, I am extremely passionate about fashion.  I’ve worked in fashion here in LA and also when I lived in New York City for fashion designers and magazines.  I definitely have a few fashion “projects” in the works that I’m very excited about!  

The Giant Blast:  Who do you listen to in your spare time?  

Jessi Jae Joplin:  I listen to a lot of “oldies” like The Beatles, The Doors, The Beach Boys, Simon & Garfunkel and Queen.  The contemporary music I listen to mostly consists of Phoenix, Miike Snow, Empire of the Sun, Spoon, Passion Pit, MGMT, Daft Punk, Calvin Harris, Gorillaz and Justice.  That is just a small portion though.  I’m constantly going to festivals and concert and discovering new bands.  

The Giant Blast:  What type of beats bring out the best in what you do?  

Jessie Jae Joplin:  I’ve always been really into electronic beats with an 80s flare.  

The Giant Blast:  Who would you like to work with in the future?  

Jessi Jae Joplin:  I would absolutely LOVE to work with Calvin Harris.  I am such an admirer of his work.  Miike Snow (also known as the crazy/amazing production team Bloodshy & Avant) would also be pretty dope to work with.  I’m a huge fan of the songs they’ve produced for other artists, not to mention their own band is one of my all time favorites.  

The Giant Blast:  Speaking of the future, where do you see yourself as an artist in 5 years?

Jessi Jae Joplin: I still want to be heavily involved in music and the arts.  Just on a larger scale.   A few records under my belt and being involved in fashion design and magazines.  

 

The Giant Blast:  Getting back to the present, what are you working on right now?  

Jessi Jae Joplin:  Right now I’m writing and recording new music, filming a webisode series which will air online this month and also planning a tour! 

 

The Giant Blast:  For those that haven't seen you perform live, how would you describe a Jessi Jae Joplin show?  

Jessi Jae Joplin:  Well every show is different, but what remains constant is the energy we bring to the stage.  Our shows are not only fun for the audience, but we have a great time too!  We try to interact with the crowd and I definitely bring my wild and crazy personality to the stage :)
The Giant Blast:  Anything else you would like to plug, any shouts?  

Jessi Jae Joplin:  Everyone stay tuned for new, original music coming soon!  Also subscribe to http://www.youtube.com/jessijaejoplin, to tune into our webisodes airing later this month!

The Blast Interview With Model Shawna-Michelle
The Giant Blast: How would you define beauty?Shawna-Michelle: Beauty comes naturally. It's noticed once people approach and communicate with one another. Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. Beauty can be physical, mental, or emotional.  Someone's personality can make them beautiful.

The Giant Blast: How would you describe yourself... without mentioning anything physical?
Shawna-Michelle: As a realistic human that is very ambitious. I care about people that take care of me. Down to earth, but I speak my mind when need be. I love food. I love to cook it also. I love taking care of a good man in more ways than just good sex.

The Giant Blast: So far what has been the highlight of your modeling career?
Shawna-Michelle: Appearing on the cover of Straight Stuntin' Magazine. Shouts to Kay Slay! Much Love!

The Giant Blast: Who is your favorite designer and why?Shawna-Michelle: I admire Kimora Lee. Some of her clothes need a little work, but I admire her ambition and drive. I want to achieve her success and more.

The Giant Blast: What's in the future for Shawna-Michelle?Shawna-Michelle: Right now I'm working on my website that will include products such as posters, calendars, and DVDs. I will also have a members section that will feature web cam and video footage, all in a classy, but sexy manor. I'm also looking to appear in some films and host more parties. After I achieve success with my name I want to have my own clothing/lingerie/accessories/perfume line.

The Giant Blast: Is there anything else you would like to plug?Shawna-Michelle: Shouts to everyone that has supported my career thus far. I owe everything to you! Much love to Beaufort, SC and Charlotte, NC!!!

The Blast Spotlight: Da Kaptain AKA Yatta

This week's Blast featured artist is Da Kaptain AKA Yatta.  

The Giant Blast:  How long have you been rhyming?
Da Kaptain AKA  Yatta:  I have been rhyming for around 15 years now.

What inspired you to  rhyme?
Watching dudes freestyle in the staircase of my building in  Bronx New York.

How would you describe  your style?
Lyrical word play with a bit of Southern  Swag.

You also have a label,  Race City Records, could you tell us a little bit about that and the artists you  have signed?
Race City Records provides musical support for local  artists, Dj's and Producers in my area. This includes studio time, photo shoots,  Videos, Demos, etc. Right now we are working with Slick Da Prince, J Simi  Smooth, Ty Cross, Big Grip, and other independent labels in the  area.

What projects are you all  working on?

The Race City Compilation Welcome to Race  City is available. Email bigyatta@aol.com.  Slick Da Prince Walking on Water mixtape coming this fall.  Our work with smokehouse music group for J-simi smooth 1st and 10 is  available. Mixtape from Da Kaptain coming this fall.

What's in the future for Race City Records?

 Its hard to  say what the future holds for us. I will be satisfied with still being able to  make music for our fans and continue to help artists grow.

Speaking of Race City, you  also Race... would you tell the fans a little about that?
Yes I do. I  am a tire changer for Kevin Harvick Inc in all three Nascar series. The #2  Craftsman truck, the #33 Nationwide car, and the #78 Sprint cup  car.

Besides that, what does Da  Kaptain get into outside of music?
Not much my time is used up  throughout race season. Might find me on the PS3 playing call of duty when I  have free time.

Getting back to the music, where  do you see yourself as an artist in 5 years?

In 5 years I can see myself running the label full  time with a few top ten billboard hits under the belt.

Is there anything else you  would like to plug, any shout outs?

Yeah you can check out our first video at  youtube.com/racecityrecords
Shout out to Big Grip, Slick Da Prince, J-Simi  Smooth, R-sin flame, first capital management, Smokehouse music group, and Made  MenEnt.
