Creating Fire Tracks Female Duo (KIN)




PHL: I remember when I first heard your music I immediately featured you ladies on my mix tape and the feed back was positive from my listeners. So, how does it feel to do something you enjoy as well as love?  

KIN: It's truly a blessing to be able to make a career of something you have a passion for. Most people search a lifetime trying to find something that feels right. We have to love what we do to keep going. This is industry is tough.   


PHL: You ladies are definitely professionals at what you do. Do you feel that is lacking in the music industry?  


KIN: Professionalism has always been something that the industry struggles with. Some artists think that because they are at a certain status in the game that they can show up when they feel like showing up or not show up at all. KIN is always early.  Also people just don't do their research anymore..we've seen some crazy contracts.  If you are going to be about ya business, educate yourself. 

PHL: What separates you from other female artist or artist in general?  

KIN: 3 words. OUR LIVE SHOW.  check some footage out on www.youtube/tiffjones820

PHL: You have a project with Pharell titled Good Foot, how did it feel working with a well know artist such as Pharell?

KIN: It was a great honor and challenge to see what we can do with a track that was passed on.  It was originally intended for a major artist, that will remained unnamed, but he passed up on it. The track was presented to us by some bad boy affiliates to see what we could do with it.  Of course we ripped it apart. So you guys should ask skateboard P what he thinks...

PHL: One thing I must admit, your beats are always thorough, who is responsible for that? 
 
KIN: We (KIN) produces the majority of our beats.  We love to create fire tracks that people can bounce to and feel.  When we do work with other producers we always pick their hottest material so that is an important factor.  The art of track picking is integral. 


PHL: Name some artist other than Pharell that you have worked with.  


KIN: We have worked with Babs of Making the Band 2, G.O.D, F.B.I, Dream Team, as well as a stream of other underground artists. Most recently we did a joint called "Summer Time" with Clarita. She's a sick soul singer from the U.K so check for that coming soon. 


PHL: Are you ladies touring or traveling soon?  

KIN: We are always on the road. The next show is in Portland, Oregon so that will definitely be interesting. We will also be making our way back up to Toronto, Canada and Boston, MA to show em the new music.  We love touring. If you want us at your venue send an email to noriqrecords@aol.com



PHL: Where have you traveled to thus far with your music?  

KIN: We've been every where from Atlanta to California, from Boston to Toronto and everywhere in between.  Our next step is overseas.  They need KIN over there. 


PHL: I like to ask artist this question. If you were obligated to categorize your music how would you categorize it? 

KIN: Street Rock. Street Rock is  a genre we created back in 03 with the whole Rock Star movement we were on.  Our music is a meld of hip hop, rock, r&b, drum and bass and blues.

PHL: So, what should we expect form you ladies in the future?

KIN: More hot records, we also got a new video coming our "Make Up Girl", more shows,more press and the of course the Noriq Records Roster. Kas, Kay Smith, and the new prince of pop,DeVante. for more info log onto www.kin4life.com and add us on www.myspace.com/kin4life
