ShiftyJ Perspective on Devil in a Dress
I go by ShiftyJ, and I spend most of my time writing songs, making beats, or recording vocals.
When I was writing the song "Devil in a Dress", I focused on expressing feelings that I've felt before. These feelings revolved around love and heartbreak, and I expressed it through the lyrics of the song.
My earliest memory of listening to music was when I was about 3, when I would sing to cartoons and nursery songs I heard, and also the music that my family would listen to.
I've listened to music almost my entire life, I was born into it. In 2018, I started making my first beats, and that's when I found out that I could really make my own music, and in the end of 2022, I recorded my first song. I decided I wanted to make more songs of my own when I heard the positive things my friends and family said about my first song.
I started recording songs from the end of 2022 to now, and my style has changed a lot. I used to have little confidence in my voice when I was recording, which held me back from sounding the best I could sound. But when I started using my voice more, and rapping/singing more about real life experiences and feelings, songwriting and recording became much easier, and sounded better.
My song "Devil in a Dress" is in the hip hop/rap genre
Almost all of my music revolves around the topic of love and heartbreak. I like to try to tell a story through my music, or have people be able to relate to my feelings through hearing my music.
If I could go on tour with any artist, I would go on tour with Polo G. I've always listened to Polo G, and my sound is heavily inspired by him. Him along with other artists in his style have been a big inspiration in not only my music, but my life.
My favorite artist is Polo G. If I could describe his music to someone who has never heard of them before, I would tell them that they're music would probably be relatable, as everyone has went through some kind of hardship in their life, from problems about money, love, or losing people they love.
