Alabama-based
musician embraces unique identity, encourages fans to explore new
ideas
ROANOKE,
AL – When people see YBMrDoItAll on stage, they don’t know
what to make of him … and he loves it! Standing on stage with
dreadlocks and a guitar at a hip-hop concert always seems to throw
his fans off, and he fully embraces the identity of someone who
doesn’t do things as expected.
“More
than anything, I don’t want to be known as a rapper. I want to be
known as an artist,” said the Alabama-based musician. “Usually
people will relate the image with the music, and I feel like my image
is really off-set. People don’t know what I’m going to do. My
personality is really mellow, and people sometimes say I’m too calm
for the music I do. And I will play a song with really chill vibes
from time-to-time, but then I’ll jump from that to a really hype
rock song. I have yet to do a set that didn’t have two songs in
different worlds.”
His
new album, “Wrong,” is an extension of that mentality and one
that he hopes will convey a message to the world that he said more
and more people need to hear in this day and age. That message is
this: there’s no one set way to do things and that’s beautiful.
“With
‘Wrong’ I’m showcasing different sounds and it’s all based
around the idea that people are fixed on a certain way of doing
things and they’re convinced it’s the only way to do it,” he
said. “But in reality there are so many ways to do things. Nothing
is ever set in stone. I’m an artist, not just a rapper. I see so
many artists who try to portray that they aren’t human – that
they’re different. But I want people to know I’m a regular
person. I don’t want them to get an outlook that I do things
differently than a regular person.”
Toward
that end, YBMrDoItAll writes music with lyrics that talk about
day-to-day life – from relationships to experiences to moments in
time that almost anyone in the world can relate to. His stage name
also nods to the kind of musician he is – someone who can do
everything when it comes to music, from rock to pop to rap to reggae.
He
said that music is a literal release for him – a way to escape the
present and allow his mind to surf any and all possibilities. When it
comes to artistic temperament, he is outgoing and never really gets
mad. In fact, his personality matches his music in that his constant
aim is to help make others feel happy. He also has a unique way of
adding creativity to everything he does, no matter how mundane the
situation.
“My
music is relevant and positive because I aim to touch people with
real problems and in real-life situations,” he said. “I’m not
rich and I want people to know that. I don’t like the separation
and elitism that fame can bring.”
