INTERVIEW: Jep Roadie

image
Jep Roadie is a musician from the New England area. Dedicated to creating music with meaning and depth, he’s accomplished a lot in his short time on the scene, with the release multiple tracks; features with music publications; and the upcoming release of his new mixtape, Regal. He’s a pretty busy guy and I was lucky enough to get a chance to discuss it all with him.

How would you describe your music to those who have never listened to you before?
It is a direct representation of the random thoughts I have on a daily basis. I delve more in the realm of hip-hop, but I am in no way a hip-hop artist. I am simply a musician. There is real dialogue in my songs. There is a 70/30 split of ignorance and enlightenment found in my music – 70% enlightenment. I use a lot of melody and pride myself on insightful, clever and descriptive lyrics.

What made you want to get into music?
Hearing music of all different genres made me want to create music. I heard how most music was about feeling and dealing with those feelings – it’s very healing. Knowing that I could heal or help people with my music and that my voice could be heard by anyone who stumbled upon it is exciting. It’s also defined me in some way and the decision to create it for the masses came after I went to see a Jay-Z concert.
