I believe the art is really coming up with the idea yourself and sharing a creative energy with another artist

Yo p-rallel, what’s good? Can you give us a little introduction as to who you are and where you’re from?

I’m a 17 year-old musician from London, UK who creates sound waves to put your mind in a better place and just make you feel good. That's the most ’simplified’ explanation of me that I can give, I can go on for days if you want lmao.

Explain your sound to us? How would you describe it?

Soul + Rnb + Electronic + Psychedelic. I mean, I’m here to communicate with your soul with these vibrations, but at the same time have your body grooving to the track using electronic instruments that may or may not trip you out - depending on the environment you're in. I don’t like to call myself a producer simply because I’m here to do more than make a backing track for an artist.

What are your musical influences?

Life, Weed, Erykah Badu, Madlib, Mndsgn, J Dilla, Jimi Hendrix.

Can you tell us a little bit about your production process? Do you use samples? What hardware, software and/or instruments do you use?

Sampling Era has ended for your boy p-rallel. Fortunately, I’ve progressed in my ability to use the keyboard with chord progressions and melodies. If anything, I get my samples recorded 1st hand by local London creatives. Like on ’The Soul Trip’ EP [out now on Apple Music and Spotify], for the 3rd track "Sweet Living" I hit up a legit guitarist to record a sample for me and he also gave me a little improvisation with it… way better than downloading a sample and cutting it up. Some may say they disagree because it's the art, but I believe the art is really coming up with the idea yourself and sharing a creative energy with another artist. I've recently got hold of a saxophonist who wants to work with me, so I’m a happy kid.
