Late Winter (January 2012) Edition 

Tunsi: I’ve always been in the music scene since the break dancing days and hung around great mc’s and producers allowing me to develop many unique styles.

Isaac: You have some strong iconic influences. Of these influences, which artist/band do you relate to the most and why?

Tunsi: I don’t think I relate to any other artists, but some tell me I sometimes sound similar to Rakim or Method Man.

Isaac: Do you feel that Indie music gets the respect it deserves? Why or why not?

Tunsi: No. They will never get the recognition until they are allowed to receive a fair amount of exposure.

Isaac: If you could change one thing about the music business, what would it be and why?

Tunsi: I would remove the giant radio stations that only play a selected few and refuse to play independent artists.

Isaac: Do you think in the near future that DIY artists/bands will be the norm and big record companies will be very limited?

Tunsi: Until the audiences broaden their listening capabilities, the major record companies will continue to profit off of a product that has been molded for the masses.

Isaac: What type of feedbacks have you been receiving about your music from fans and music critics?

Tunsi: For the most part, feedback suggests that listeners are relieved to hear something with substance and wonder why it’s seldom heard. Most of my fans tend to come from outside the United States because of my lyrical content.

Isaac: If you knew that you would never gain fame and fortune with what you are doing now, would you continue to make music? Explain.

Tunsi: Yes. My motivation can be driven by one fan. Also, I like to do it; I’m an artist.

Isaac: How do you handle negative feedback or negative energy about your music?

Tunsi: I love negative feedback because I am constantly trying to improve, so any opinion is valued as long as it is sincere.

Isaac: What role do your family and friends play in the equation of your pursuant of a music career?

Tunsi: Family and friends always offer support that I use when developing material.

Isaac: What is the best site/s that you can be found on the Internet?

Tunsi: http://www.paranarecords.net/tunsi page.htm

Isaac: The floor is yours; final words…..

Tunsi: Thank you for the interview. Please spread the word on independent artists because without them your music will continue to dwindle to that one monotonous sound.
