Tell us something about you that fans should know:
I grew up between homes as a kid. One house fostered love and suffered poverty, while the other housed detachment and indulgence. I have seen my share of addiction issues, trauma, grief/death, relationship abuse, of both familial and social origin. These life events have grounded me as an individual in recognizing and developing my personal qualities/aspirations, whereby my pursuit with music serves as an outlet for growth.
Inspired by:
BONES, XAVIER WULF, Azizi Gibson, Lil Candy Paint, Lil Peep, Oliver Francis, D Savage, Robb Bank$, Wifisfuneral, IDontKnowJeffery, Terrance Escobar, City Morgue, Isaiah Rashad, Mac Miller, Earl Sweatshirt, The Cool Kids, Odd Future, and others.
Where are you from and what’s the music scene like there?
My name is Will Pike, I am 20 years old, and I'm a self-produced hip-hop/rap artist from St. John's, Newfoundland currently living in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
I spend most of my time studying for my BSc in Biology/Psychology, but I've been dedicating all of my free time towards developing as a musician. My father has been in the music production industry for decades, and I have learned much from him along the way. He was a bit withdrawn towards my interests however, so practically all that I have learned regarding hip-hop music has been that through self discovery.
I started doing hip-hop songs at 15 years old, two of which received nearly 1.5K streams each despite having little to no promotion but the word of mouth. I then took a hiatus to focus on my education after having gone through a rather devastating life-event.
Over the last two years, at around 18 years of age, I have been working on my music production skills in addition to studying for my degree. I only just recently took to writing music again after gaining encouragement from local artists that I am making instrumentals/beats for. Given having looked up to my father for the better-half of my childhood, I look most forward to throwing my hat in the ring through the instrumental side of things—as I do not consider myself as much of an extrovert nor do I believe that I have honed my craft yet as a lyricist/artist. Through your feedback and support, I hope to one day have the ability to further develop as a musician!
