Who is trap artist uz

I never really wanted to reveal but I wanted to have more contact with people. This was the perfect opportunity for me and also to see how the crowd would react. I first did it at the Belasco for the Quality Goods Records Tour without really telling anyone and the reaction was crazy. I started doing it at every show and people loved it every time, so after discussing with the team we decided to do the unveiling.

The time had come. What is going on dance music fans! We hope you are straight chillin as we go along into the weekend. We'd really love to UZ came to life in Barbier's bedroom at the end of The turntablist started making one evil trap beat a week, the catch being that he had to make it in a few hours. He kept the ID secret and developed his own alphabet to describe each tune. Copy and pasting everything was a real pain in the ass, but his friend made him an HTML page, and he was off and running.

His dark sound and wild style got the attention of the Internet and AM Only rep. The agent picked him up, and everything went off. He gave me two options, and I opted for the gold one with the bandana. Ralis is actually the artist that made Slipknot's mask, and many more. Keeping the identity secret was difficult, especially at festivals for example where so many people would be around.

It was really difficult to find places to hide. It was fun for years, but it slowly started to be more of a hassle for me. Maybe we have Future to thank for this reveal.

We worked with a great graphic designer from LA called Cat Owens who did the whole album, the videos and symbol, et cetera, as well as Alex Crane , who did an amazing shoot. Looking at trap music in the electronic scene over the past 10 years, how do you think it has changed and evolved?

UZ: Originally, trap music was southern music. I feel like now I am the evolution of trap and rap. When I started, I was doing instrumentals with a little but more bass and punch—no drops and buildups—and after some years I was put into the EDM stuff, so my sound changed a little bit. I feel like the trap sound was simpler years ago.

In and it was really minimal and bass-heavy, with simple melodies and great energy. I feel like dubstep was too much, so people needed a little bit more simple stuff. Then came hybrid; the dubstep kids wanted that hard sound back, so the producers mixed everything together well. So yeah, from it moved from minimalistic bass to now a more edgy, modern feel.

Was that on purpose? Is this where you see trap music going in the future? Someone similar to me would be Troyboi.

What is the first thing you do? UZ: Melodies! I put Omnisphere on a track, for example, and I start with a melody, always. Then, the very last thing I do is the bass.

If the bass is too low, I just pitch all the instruments up. Where do things go from here? I might do a deluxe version of the album and add some tracks and remixes.

UZ was pushed really hard and I want this to be natural, not too big too fast.
