Interview: 10 Questions with…Sean Avery
Today we got a new “10 Questions with…” for you! This time with young talented emcee Sean Avery! Check out the 10s below and stay tuned for this upcoming emcee from Avondale, Arizona!
01. Who are you?
I’m a young black man from the suburbs of Avondale, Arizona, and I use rap and poetry as ways to document my personal experiences. My life contradictions a lot of stereotypes about race and class, so I tell my story to challenge social norms. I hope I inspire other people to do the same.
02. When did you fall in love with H.E.R.?
I fell in love with H.E.R when I heard Murs “Murrarys Revenge”. I was like fourteen. My Dad bought it from a record store in Phoenix and played in on the way home with the windows down. The production, the rhymes, the storytelling, it was all on point. Before that I hadn’t heard songs that made me feel like I was watching a movie. I was hooked.
03. Upcoming or current projects?
Right now I’m working on making my artistic process a habit. I’m working on new music but I’m not going to release anything for a while. I might do a couple collaborative projects with artists I’m close with, like a short music project, or a book of poems, I don’t know yet.
04. Favorite Food?
My favorite food hands down is my Moms homemade Marconi and Cheese. Shit is crack! If you ever in Avondale around Thanksgiving or Christmas hit ya boy up!
05. Favorite Game?
My favorite game of all time… is probably Shadow of Colossus, although Bioshock 2 and Nino Kuni both gave it a run for its money.
06. Favorite Movie?
My favorite movie is the Dark Knight. Christopher Nolan reinvented Gotham and the Batman characters but still made it accessible for a modern audience. That was fucking awesome
07. What are your top three songs?
I cannot pick a top three songs. But after 30 minutes of brainstorming, here’s what I came up with (in no particular order): Heard Em Say – Kanye West, 75 Bars – The Roots, Dreamchaser – Murs.
08. One thing you would take on a lonely island?
I would take a journal. I write every night, and I would definitely have nothing else to do on a lonely island.
09. If you had one free wish, what would it be?
If I had one free wish… I’d wish for the ability to fly. Then I could just do whatever I wanted.
10. Any last words?
