As a part of our new #FreestyleFeature interview series, we at TRUE Magazine will be interviewing up and coming artists to give them a chance to spotlight who they are, where they come from, and what drives them to make the great music that they make. Check out VA artist, Max Fullard. He’s got a new dope EP out called, “Nights of The Forth,” with a really dope single featuring D.R.A.M. In this feature, we ask Max more about his inspiration for the music he makes.
1) What’s your number one inspiration for being an artist?
My main inspiration is being my own man. Being able to travel more and reaching as many people as I can with my music. I really want to inspire the youth, make a difference in the world and for the future. Making money is always great motivation. Altogether, I’m inspired to be happy with my life and the things I do within my days. Music is just the beginning of the path I want to have in entertainment, I want my family and grandkids to have no worries.
2) When did you decide that music was going to be a passion of yours that you wanted to pursue?
Back in Philadelphia, my oldest sister would pay me to clean her room. One day, I found 2pac “All Eyes on Me” tape, I played “How Do You Want It?” a million times. I used to rap the words in the mirror. Around sixth grade, I used to make freestyle tapes with my homie Matt. 7th-8th grade, I moved to VA, i was still rapping. but didn’t come out to the public till high school when battle rap was popular. Fast forward a bit, around 2007 I dropped my first tape “For The Listeners” thats when I knew I wanted to pursue it as a career.
3) What do you want your fans to know?
I want my fans and the world to know, that I’m honest. Everything I do is from my heart, somehow someway, It’s all me. So when you see me on tour, or out in the streets, say what up! Im a human and that kinda stuff makes my day. I make music for myself and for the people like me.
4) When can your fans expect to hear some new music from you?
I just dropped “Nights Of The Forth”, a month ago. Im dropping a new record called “Save Yourself” soon. I have lots of loose records to stay consistent, I always have a few videos to go along with the album.
5) Where can your fans follow you on social media?
