Q&A with Astro Davis

Astro+Davis+releases+Cloud+6

How does it feel now that you’ve released Cloud 6?
It feels great, I’ve been working on the tape ever since January. It feels good to have it out in my second year of making music.

How did you get your start making music?
I started out writing poetry and making cartoons and photography. Music eventually became more serious when me and Kid JC started working together.

How long did it take to put the mixtape together?
It took me six months (ironic.)

What’s next for you now that you’ve dropped Cloud 6?
I plan on going to NYC and Cali before June ends, and start performing and looking for events. I also want to release my music videos and shirts.

Who are your biggest influences when it comes to music?
I have a lot of musical influences like Kanye, Nas, Busta, Chance, Joey Bada$$, Drake, Frank Ocean, Odd Future in general and a lot of old school like Jungle Brothers, Wu-Tang Clan, Sinatra, Marvin Gaye, it varies on how I feel.

Is there any meaning behind the title “Cloud 6”?
I chose the title Cloud 6 because it’s cloud nine upside down, and I feel like I’m not yet on cloud nine. I have a long way to go with my music and art. Also, six is my favorite number, I began knowing what I was gonna do around 2006 around the age 11.
