Why do you think SIQ Records is a neccesity in Hawaii?
Hawaii needs that balance in music and the industry just as Hawaii has a mixed blend of ethnicities, cultures and so on. And SIQ needs Hawaii as far as the support and love and we've been getting that one prop at a time.
How have you personality benefited from being apart of SIQ?
Actually having a team working together and just as dedicated as I am about this.
What have you learned from being a part of SIQ?
Learned how to handle shows, music recording, merchandise sales on a professional level. throughout the past being in this scene, we've been doing it thru word of mouth, CD-R albums and myspace bulletins. NOW, we've got a website with a online store, clothing line, and doing our own local venues. and that's half of what i've obtained.
The anniversary party may represent a one year celebration, a celebration of past accomplishments so to speak. What does it mark/celebrate as far as year two and beyond?
A celebration of continuity in the music and culture of Hawaii music and local sound. definitely redefining the genre into whole new plateau.
What was Hawaii hip hop before SIQ? What is it since SIQ started doing their thing?
Hawaii hip hop before was definitely limited and only a certain few could only rep it and only a certain style can be honed. Now that SIQ records have started, the hawaii hip hop sound is just way too hard to pinpoint since there is a barrage of styles and people in the culture. which makes it perfectly placed in the islands as the melting pot.. for HIP HOP.
