How long have you been rhyming?

I've been rhyming since I was about 15, but never seriously until July of 09'

 

How would you describe yourself as an artist?

I would say that I'm a lyrical, "punchline" type rapper.

What makes you different from all the other artists out here today?

I feel that most artists now-a-days are just in it for the fame and money, but I do it because I love music, its my passion.

Who does Shetia Mae listen to for inspiration?

T.I.,  Yo Gotti, Jeezy, Gucci Mane, list goes on an on (laughs).

 

 

What does Shetia Mae get into besides music?

Music is 1 of my main focuses but I am a mother first.  I have a two year old son so he takes up all of my other free time.

What type of beats bring out the best in what you do?

Hardcore, crunk, southern, heavy bass types.

 

Speaking of beats, what producers have you worked with so far?

I get most of my beats off the net...(soundclick).

Who would you like to work with in the future?

Zaytoven, Drumma Boy, Ryan Leslie.

Speaking of the future where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Record deal and a few mill' (laughs).

What would you like to accomplish with your music between now and then?

To get enough people 2 listen to and follow my music just for the appreciation of real music.

Speaking of accomplishments what would you say has been your greatest achievement in your career so far?

Getting as far as I have being strictly independent.

What would you say has been your worst experience in the music business so far and how did you learn from it?

Someone "stealing" a song from me, and it just taught me 2 be on my p's and q's and make sure O get everything copyrighted.

How would you describe your latest release the Certified Trap Gurl Mixtape?

A great first effort.  A learning tool.  Motivation to perfect my flaws for the next project.

Currently working on a new mixtape now...
