RetroJ is only getting better day by day Ny expanding his talents that could benefit him in multiple ways. He been working with NCS JO lately who is also an upcoming rapper that we need to be on a look out for.

I can’t wait to see what RetroJ have in store for us in 2023.

I decided to sit down with RetroJ to learn more about the artist and the future. This is what he had to say.

What age were you when you got interested in music, and what age were you when you thought you would like to become an artist?

I was 18 years old when I took interest in actually producing music. I grew up being just dancer who would show up to parties and turn it up. When I turned 22, I was thinking to myself why I am limiting my talent and success. I always had a thought of being an artist, but I didn’t have the confidence to step into the booth until I turned 23.

Be honest now, what was the first single and album you bought?

I think it might’ve been “Misunderstood” by PNB Rock when I was a junior in high school.

Who was your inspiration before you became an artist in your own right, and is there anyone who you would like to collaborate with?   

I didn’t really have an inspiration to become an artist it’s just something I wanted to try to see where it’ll take me. I made my mark with my producer music I’m ready to take it up a notch.  I would like to collaborate with D4M Sloan or 2rare one of these days I’m not really interested in this generation of rappers. Singers like Summer Walker, SZA and Jhene Aiko I’m all for it.

A lot of famous artists like Justin Bieber were found through social media, so how has social media helped you?

I was getting recognize on YouTube for my music but once TikTok became a trend it was over. TikTok helped multiple of my songs become viral in just months.

You have become a sensation on TikTok, do you feel TikTok is a great platform to get new audiences for your music?

Most definitely, TikTok platform is for anyone at any age who anyone from any country. You just need a catchy song and a dance challenge then TikTok would do the rest. Tiktok also helped get my face out there a lot, people know my music but haven’t even seen what I looked like.

When you have released Drive you 2, who wrote the hit and where was it recorded, and what is the meaning behind the hit?

I produced Drive you 2 in my kitchen while my grandmother was cleaning. She was playing a song on the tv that struck me an idea. Drive you 2 wasn’t a song I would’ve thought would blow it was just a song I put together out of boredom. I was aiming for something catchy and just fun to dance too it’s safe to say I nailed it.

You have fans all over the world, so, are there any plans in the future for you to visit Europe and meet your fans?

Of course. I love traveling and interacting with my fans. Without the love and support I wouldn’t be known at all without them.

If you could choose any Michael Jackson hit to remix, which one would it be and why?

Butterflies, that song has such a beautiful melody and harmony. The texture of the song could give you chills then with a little bit of jersey club to it is perfection.

Are you currently writing music at the moment, and if so, when will it be released?

Yes, I’m currently writing and getting some features right now for my upcoming album. I’m aiming to drop my album December 25th hopefully it’s finished by then. That’ll be a great gift from me to my fans on Christmas Day.

Where do you hope to be in five years’ time with your career as an artist?

Hopefully I’m a signed artist by then and taking care of my loved ones. That’s it that’s all I just wanna be successful and in a good position to help my family.

He is creating his own music from the bottom to top, RetroJ sometimes mixes his own music. There are so many talented dancers, artists and producers out there, but he wants to do his best to make sure he gains a good network and fanbase. Oftentimes RetroJ pair up with dancers and artists from his Hometown, and RetroJ looks to hold that close for the duration of his career.

It has been quite a journey for RetroJ thus far and it is only the beginning. He has a long trek ahead of him to reach the heights that he is aiming for, but there is no doubt in his mind that he’ll be able to accomplish it. It is going to be thrilling to watch this young star’s career unfold and see where he takes this thing.

Be sure to stay on the lookout for RetroJ’s name as it is bound to be everywhere in the coming years.
