Singersroom had the opportunity to get the scoop on the “Gossip Columns” Tour, plus a few sneak peek details about his new project dropping this year.
Singersroom: What are you most excited about for the “Gossip Columns” Tour?
Marc E. Bassy: I’m most excited about meeting and connecting with my fans; I want my fans to know that I am very approachable and far from standoffish.
SR: What has influenced you as an artist?
MEB: The Bay; my environment has influenced me. A lot of times artists from The Bay don’t always get the respect we deserve. The Bay is its own!
SR: How do you stay current as an artist in an ever-changing industry?
MEB: Honestly, I focus on the lyrics. It’s not about the trends, it’s about the emotion it provokes, and most of the time the beat is something I can vibe to all just based on how I’m feeling that day.
SR: You’ve been classified in various genres including R&B, Hip-Hop, Soul, Pop, and Reggae-Pop; how are you maintaining being so diverse?
MEB: I don’t try to be; I honestly flow with the music. Music is like water, if you try to block it with something, it will find a way to seep through somewhere else.
SR: What can we expect for the rest of the year from you?
MEB: A new project! I can’t give too many details, but I’m working with a top producer behind major artists. I’m excited and have never been so excited to release anything, but I will be releasing the 1st single very soon.
