Interview with Mono Bagends

 
On special occasions such as this one, we like to branch out and speak with independent artists that don't live in the area that are making waves and major moves and speak with those artists about what they are doing and show them a little of that Carolina love no matter where they lay their head.  This week we got in touch with rising New York based recording artist Mono Bagends.  Mono Bagends has a popular single and youtube video by the name of "On Fire" that recently received over 50,000 video views in just one short Month, and his single is currently getting lots of love and support from DJs and radio stations across the Nation!  Read all about this artist in our interview with him below!


 
The Carolina Inquirer:  In your own words, how would you define yourself as an artist?
Mono Bagends:  Ground Breaking....My style is unique..I truly don't sound like anyone else. I want to make positive inspirational music to uplift people. As a nation, we are are going through tough times...I want to be a voice people can turn to give them hope. You can achieve a lot via music


Your single "On Fire" has been getting a lot of spins on commercial and non commercial radio across the nation and just recently your official youtube video for the single has reached over 50,000 + views in just one month, for those that still may not be familiar with the single could you tell the readers what they are missing?
The song is complete.  Chorus, lyrics, flow and the beat all come together.  It makes you feel good...it's one of those records you keep playing over and over.  It's inspirational.  It's about a man going through his inner struggles to have his breakthrough.  The video brings the song to life.  The video just broke through 50,000.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ANyvlNgsx8

Although you are from New York, your single has sort of a "South Eastern" feel to it....then we found out you collaborated with a Virginia based producer for this single.... what made you want to reach out to Luxxury Music to produce the song? 
At the time, I wasn't sure what I was looking for and I heard it....once I heard it I had to have it. I knew it was a hit. I didn't know where they were from when I first heard it but I have always worked with down south producers.  It doesn't matter to me what region people are from...if we can make something hot...let's do it.


Have you collaborated with anyone else in the South East? 
To be honest...I am not sure.  Due to the internet a lot of times I work with people and never meet them.  I more worked with people from Texas so previous songs have that south flavor to it but it's not the south east.


You recently linked up with a North Carolina based Promotions & PR Firm to help spread the word of your music through the Internet, do you plan on working with anyone else here in North Carolina? 
I don't have any plans at the moment but I am open to working with anyone I can make great music with.

Have you been down to North or South Carolina to perform?
Not yet....the closest I have been to perform is probably Virginia....have also done shows in Miami, Texas and Arkansas in the south. North Carolina is one of the states I have always wanted to visit and definitetly would be open to it if the right opportunity arose.



Are you familiar with any of the artists or producers here? 
 I can't say that I am as of right now. I used to like Petey Pablo.


What do you like to get into outside of music? 
 I enjoy spending time with God, working out and watching football.


What's next for Mono Bagends? 
Only God knows...this song is really taking off...everyday I am being interviewed for different publications and more and more opportunities keep popping off. I am interested to see what's next and the unknown about it makes it exciting.


Is there anything else you would like to plug?  Any shout outs or links? 
If you like the record you can purchase it on Itunes...also, check out the video for ON FIRE....it is the best work I have done yet.  If you want to book me for a show hit us up at bagendsrecords@gmail.com  For everyone who would like to follow my career or just hit me up check out the following links. Thanks for the interview.
