![]() Well to jump back to what you were saying about Edie, how did that love for her and her becoming your muse come into play? I actually prefer Casey Veggie over Lil B. The situation with Edie stems from a relationship I was in with a guy who makes music as well. He was really into Andy Warhol and a lot of classic rock, and his favorite artist was Bob Dylan. It’s a crazy story because Bob Dylan and Edie Sedgwick use to date in the 60’s. It was a relationship that was under wraps because he left her around the time Andy Warhol kicked her out of The Factory. I just felt there was a really big connection between my life and her life, in comparison to the drugs and the social scene where everything was based on pop culture. I feel like her story is one of the most tragic stories that took place in the 60’s during the pop art movement. You mentioned a comparison between Edie’s drug use and yours. Well, I’ve done drugs since I was 16 years old. I was exposed to it when I was younger, and it was a getaway. It was like entering a new world, so with the drug influence I wanted to make music that was kind of psychedelic to elaborate on the drug use I had experienced in my earlier years. ![]() I don’t do it now, but when I was younger, I was getting trippy. I’ve experienced cocaine, heroine and ecstasy. What drew you to that lifestyle at the time? I’m kind of open about it because I would really want people in the youth to know how real it is. I was numbing feelings, I was a very depressed child, I was very manic and the thing with me and drug use came in like a getaway. That’s why in my music, with me not doing drugs anymore, I still make references to it because I feel like music is my drug now.īut when music came for me, that became my drug. That’s why my album is Silver Hill because that was a famous rehab in Connecticut that Edie Sedgwick went to when she was a child. So yeah, I just wanted to make that correlation with drugs and music and how it’s helped me.ĭope. Tell me how you became the stylist for Elektrik Red.īasically, I was a fashion editor at Persona Magazine, and I was a model before that. It was really cool because I just took my connections that I built off modeling and started pulling clothes from the designers and stuff. I appreciate it and I was definitely humbled through it, but I wouldn’t do the experience over again to be honest. ![]()
