Meet and Get To Know Snøw
Kulture Vulturez: You’re a self-taught musician if correct, what led you to decide to teach yourself how to make music?
Snøw: I had already been writing songs when I first heard artist like Ed Sheeran and Matty Healy from the 1975, but I thought they were insanely talented on guitar. I really wanted to learn how to play guitar and do what they could do, so they really inspired me to learn how to play instruments.
Kulture Vulturez: How did you get introduced to the lo-fi genre?
Snøw: Musicians like X, Peep and Shiloh dabbled in the genre before I knew what it really was. I’m always influenced by the music I listen to and my favorite artists when it comes to writing my music. I just do my best to make it my own style while still acknowledging the people that inspire me.
Kulture Vulturez: Why focus on a certain niche of hip hop, instead of being more mainstream like many other artists?
Snøw: Starting out I focused on lofi because that was the genre I enjoyed and it was upcoming and new, so I definitely saw it as an opportunity to begin my career. But if you listen to more of my music or my upcoming album, youll see how versatile I am and that I don’t have a specific sound.
