_____________________________________________________
How long did you busk for?
A couple of years sporadically
Was busking your full time job?
Yeah when I was younger and had no job. I would independently press up my own cds and distribute them on the streets, this is where busking would come in as it involved me drawing a crowd and giving consumers a musical sample of my product.
What inspires you musically?
Creativity and soul I like music that can touch me emotionally. And also music that you can tell hard work has gone into
What’s the toughest thing about busking?
I’d say censorship, in forms of the establishment trying to shut you down. And at time developing a connection with passers by
What’s your fondest busking memory?
Errm without sounding too greedy it would be making over £200 in a day
Who inspires you?
As an artist my biggest inspiration in music is Master P as he was able to sell 75 Million record from an independent black owned record label
What advice would you give other buskers trying to make it into the music industry?
Have fun, be yourself and let your talent shine. People respond to you better if they don’t just think you’re out for money but can see your passion
Could you describe your music in 3 words?
Artistically soulfully eclectic
We can’t wait for the release of Fonzo’s album #DiaryOfATiredBlackMan as well as a plethora of other projects in music and film. Stay tuned and updated with his movements online.
