Who are you and what do you do?
Answer:

My name is Michael Nordlund and I make hiphop music (Song, Beats & Productions) under the name Escape Artist.

How does your background play into this song?
Answer:

It plays a major part. Seeing a grew up in a time where hiphop/rap was praised when the lyrics were being Quick Witted & Funny with an undertone of seriousness and serious skills when putting words together. and being a student of hiphop production aswell, I would say my background very much helped me create this song. both lyrics, instrumental and production

What is your earliest memory of listening to music?
Answer:

Probably the second my mother gave birth to me, I would assume.

I come from very musical families on both mother and fathers side.

At what moment in your life did you decide to become an artist / performer?
Answer:

When I saw my brother perform with his friends on a small stage/tent during the town "festival" in Gävle, Sweden, where we lived at the time.

04' I believe.

What genres does this release play into?
Answer:

Hiphop and rap

How has your sound and style evolved in the last 3 years?
Answer:

It has gotten a lot more technical I would say and a bit more perfectionistic!?

I spend a lot more time over smaller details in both music and lyrics now than what I did 3 years ago.

What themes do you explore throughout your music?
Answer:

it varies A LOT! seeing as I draw inspiration from what's currently going on in my life at the time.

So it can get introspective, it can go from very dark themes to very joyful ones. it all depends on where my mind is when creating.

If you could go on tour with any artist, who would it be and why?
Answer:

My childhood heroes. 

Alchemist, Dr Dre, Eminem, J.Cole, 50 Cent, P-Monch, Dilated Peoples, Nas, Looptroop, D12..  etc

I'm forgetting A LOT of names right now and it's pissing me off xD

How would you describe your favorite artist's music to someone who has never heard them before?
Answer:

Give it a minute and you'll see why! 

How would you describe your music to someone who has never heard it before?
Answer:

"unapologetically me".. music that would make your family question you.

Honestly.. I don't know.. But probably that it's well put together lyricism with emotionally driven themes. with BANGING home grown beats.

If you could attend a performance by any artist, dead or alive, who would you choose and why?
Answer:

My answer would hands down be "Queen" if mercury was still alive.

What is your favorite song you have made, and why?
Answer:

That's a hard one to answer.. but gun to my head, I would have to say it's a 3 way tie between "One Day, Take My Hand and Refuse You"

What is the most memorable response you've had to your work?
Answer:

It was from a fan of my duo "BTW".. 

He wrote to me about a year after we had released our song "Losing My Mind" in which I was going through hell in my personal life while writing and was possibly at my very lowest point when recording.. anyways, he reached out just to say that the song did in fact save his life.. because he was going through similar tribulations and was a lot closer to the edge than I was.. but when hearing it and realizing that there was somebody who felt like that and that there was a way out of it, snapped him back to "reality" and made him work on himself and so forth.. that was an incredibly powerful moment for me.. I have never felt anything like that .. that was just.. WOW!
