Wash Interview
Would you consider “Can’t Trust Thots” a co-sign to Chris Brown’s “Loyal?”
People get the same feel, but if you listen to the verses, we’re saying some real, real sh*t up in there. It’s the sh*t that we really see at the club. Sh*t that I go through, that I think many males and females go through. It’s the truth. I know it’s a controversial record, but my main goal is to not disrespect women, because we got mail thots and female thots. That was just MY rendition of what I see. But we got some crazy, crazy records on the way; we got some love ballads, some new records with that old school feel, so I want everybody to stay tuned for that.
Who are some of your musical influences?
I’m a fan of every genre, I like rock bands like White Snakes, I love Anita Baker, Sade. I can go even as far back to Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Marvin Gaye. It’s just a wide caliber of artists.
Musically and conceptually, what sets you apart from the rest of rising R&B singers?
I can’t say, cause I really don’t watch what they do (no disrespect). But what I don’t see a lot is just shows, period. There’s a lot of R&B singers, but to actually have a show, that’s what I’m working on now. We’re putting a show together; I dance as well, so it’s me dancing, me playing the keyboard, and the drums, just full out entertainment. I think the show is what separates me from a lot of different artists. Just being able to have those different elements that are old school as well as new school.
