XVIII Panda isn’t a person nor just a name. It’s emotions, memories, and pain. That everyone can see and feel.
Where are you based?
Michigan
How long have you been making music?
About this time last year
What genre would you consider your music to be?
Alternative Lo-Fi HipHop But I can do many different styles and genres
What inspired you to pursue a career in music?
The pain that i had when I was a child and having to take care of myself, learning how to be a man from mistakes I would make. Many people would tell me my knowledge is above my age. So I wanted to help others with sharing my pain and knowledge.
What are your biggest musical influences?
I don’t really like to say who influences me because I don’t wanna be the person everyone calls a wanna be, I take pride in who I listen to. With that being said I’m going to have the audience figure this one out.
Are you signed to a label or are you an independent artist?
I had many labels reach out to me and I still don’t wanna be signed. So right now I’m independent
What have been the biggest challenges in your music career?
Many people that I called my family doesn’t show any support to my music but still ask me for the money I make with my music. that’s what I’d say my biggest struggle is
How many songs or albums have you released to date?
Maybe twenty five or twenty six, not a lot to listen to but just enough to have my supporters see what I can do!
Can you tell us a few things about your latest release?
My latest release “X Marks My Heart”. It’s one of my chill songs, this one is about hating how lonely one is, think of it like I’m laying down on my bed goin g through my thoughts, thinking about how my life is going so far. It also has a little speech in the song. Which I tend to do a lot when I have a perfect beat.
Any plans for new music or upcoming projects we should know about?
I’m bringing a new emotion and genre into rap with this next XVIII Panda album. I’m dropping a joint album though on 03/31/23 with my music partner Beezy and I. We coming up to change this rap game. Depressed, anxious, mentally fucked up kids/teenagers/adults need to have acknowledgment too.
