GT's Interview with On The Rise Magazine


Check out GT's interview with Atlanta's OnTheRise Magazine! Shout out to Robyn!

OTR – For those that dont know GT, tell us a little about youself?

GT - Is a lyrical and talent artist that was born and raised in Columbia SC ! I am the CEO of Money Rich Music and pride myself on making timeless music.


OTR – What is your style of music and how are you different from the other artist in the game?

GT – Well I don’t really have a preference or style of music! I am a hip hop artist but if given a pop beat, rock beat, etc etc I know I can make it happen ! Alot of the music is not timeless is fads ! I look up to artist that make music that u can listen to years from when it comes out! I’m perfecting my craft, my direction, and growth in music! And the scariest part is I’m just getting started!

OTR - What’s playing in your cd player right now?

GT – Right now myself ! But when there is other music in there its definitely Jay Z ,Rozay,Wale, Meek Mill or Lauren Hill.

OTR – So lets talk about your dreads, how long have you been growing them and what do they symbolize?

GT – I’ve been growing my hair for almost 5 years now ! When I started growing my dreads, it basically was a way to avoid having to go to a barber that wasn’t mine in a different city. Now its just me!

OTR – What type of music did you listen to when you were growing up?

GT – Plenty of Jay Z , Jada Kiss , Lox, Dipset , Rakim , OutKast , Biggie and Pac

OTR – Did you always want to be a rapper? If so why?

GT – Believe it or not, I always wanted to play ball for a living, never was tall enough to make to league, but I felt I could def get payed to play basketball
somewhere

OTR – Tell us how you came up for the concept for your single “Tellem”

GT – “Tellem” was really a track about myself ! Daytona ( business partner ) came across the beat! We sat In the studio , he was harmonizing a melody to it ! We put my life in it and it worked out! We shot the video for it and that was a wrap
OTR – Lets talk about your personal life because it wouldnt be right if I didnt lol , are you single, taken, whats your relationship status?


GT – Haha , I am currently single! Not taken ! So there is no real lady in my life !

Q. Whats the worst thing a women can do to turn you off?

Wow , I would say probably not taking what I’m doin seriously! I do this because its me , I’m very good at it, and its the only thing on my mind when I wake up! So if a female thinks that its not a job or that I need a back up plan , then u don’t believe in my talents , therefore me and you have nothing to talk about !

Q So whats next for you?

The world hopefully!! Naw, but just trying to stay as visible as possible , continue to put out solid music, build my brand, and become someone the industry has to pay attention too ! And with my management (Tasha) and the other member of the team that have me at best interest I feel that it is reachable in the next few months and maintainable for the rest of my life !
