Remington’s World got a chance interview Papi Shank

What musical influences have had impact on your career?

Great question, well the earliest musical memory I have is of me singing & performing with my reflection in the TV to a Michael Jackson song…lol

What are some of your pet peeves when it comes to music?

Quality is very important to me; I rather put out one fully mixed & mastered song than a whole mixtape of poorly recorded/mixed music; that’s the problem with most artists these days. Speaking of Quality music, lyrics are IMPORTANT, it doesn’t matter to me if the audio quality of your music is incredible if you’re reciting garbage.

What inspires you to make music?

Life, as you can read in my bio, “Music speaks to my soul & my soul speaks through music” so it’s my everyday life that inspires me; my thoughts, feelings, ambitions, I put it all in my music.

As an artist, where do you see yourself in 5 years?

In 5 years I see myself developing the future L.E.S.G.O. Entertainment artists after releasing multiple successful albums of my own while preparing to release yet another Papi Shank album; Venturing into films, if not sooner, & getting ready for the “New*N8tioN” world Tour! You know, cuz I stay Grind’N! 25/8

Who in the industry would you say is a complete artist? Why?

These days it’s hard to find a “complete artist” so I’d have to say P Diddy. To me an artist is one whom can “paint” (so to speak) a masterpiece. A complete artist can do this numerous ways & make it seem effortless. Diddy raps, “sings”, produces, Dances, even writes now…lol Above all, he’s an “entertainer” & that’s what most “artists” are lacking, the ability to entertain.

If you could change one thing to make the world a better place what would it be?

If it were up to me, we would live in a “NON-monetary society”. That would change everything,

You definitely have a very loyal fan base. What do your fans mean to you?

My fans mean everything to me. I’m a very “family oriented” person & to me my fans are my extended family. Honestly, I hate the fact that there are so many different social sites & every time you get comfortable with one they upgrade the layout to keep up with the new-newer social sites. The fact is, the only reason I have such an internet presence is because that’s the modern way of keeping in touch with my fans. If I wasn’t an artist I can promise you I wouldn’t have a profile on any of these sites because they’re so time consuming & time is our most precious commodity. Please, note, I’d love to meet every one of my fans in person & which is why I’m constantly posting my whereabouts on my status updates & why you can find me mingling with the crowd at everyone of my events & live performances, I’m rarely just sitting in VIP. ☺
