1.     Congratulations on the upcoming release of your highly anticipated album 'THANKSLONDO'! How does it feel to finally share this project with your fans?

It’s a nice feeling to finally have the project out, this has been a long time coming and a lot of work has gone into this! 

2.     'THANKSLONDO' features some exciting collaborations with artists like Ashbeck, Bawo, Arz, and more. Can you tell us about the creative process behind these collaborations and how they enhance the overall sound of the album?

 I would meet up for various sessions over the past 2 years and collaborate with these artists. The session didn’t necessarily have to be for the project, but occasionally we would make something that suited it

3.     The single "ONLINE" has been receiving a great response. How does this track fit within the broader themes and sonic landscape of 'THANKSLONDO'?

 With this project I wanted to show my production range, and I feel like ‘ONLINE’ stands out as one of the tracks where I get to show this off

4.     In what ways does 'THANKSLONDO' showcase your evolution as an artist and the growth you've experienced since your debut in 2019?

 My production matures as I mature. You have to listen to my discography to understand this.

5.     The album seems to explore various emotions and themes like love, gratitude, and self-discovery. Can you share some insights into the inspiration behind these themes and how they manifest in your music?

 I just produce the music and the artist then has freedom to say exactly how they feel. These themes come naturally, nothing was planned.

6.     With 15 tracks on the album, it's clear that a lot of thought has gone into its composition. How did you approach crafting a cohesive sonic journey for your listeners throughout 'THANKSLONDO'?

I collected the tracks over a 2 year period and just narrowed it down to the ones that made the most sense together. We never tried to make a track sound like something specific, it was just whatever came naturally. 

7.     As a producer-artist, you've established yourself as a captivating force in the music industry. How do you balance your roles as a producer and a singer-songwriter, and how does this duality contribute to your unique sound?

 I wouldn’t refer to myself as a singer-songwriter yet. Just a producer.

8.     'THANKSLONDO' is said to challenge the confines of contemporary music while remaining true to your distinct sonic identity. Can you elaborate on the elements that make your sound so unmistakably EI Londo?

 These sounds are unique cos they’ll make you wanna rob someone then apologize for it. Not gonna explain how or why this is, it just is haha.

9.     Your music has garnered a dedicated global following. How does it feel to connect with fans across different corners of the world and witness the impact your music has on them?

 It’s an amazing feeling knowing that my music resonates with people all over the world from all walks of life. That’s what I love about music, it brings people together and makes the world feel smaller.

10.  Looking ahead, what are your hopes and aspirations for the reception and impact of 'THANKSLONDO'? Are there any specific messages or emotions you hope listeners will take away from the album?

 10. I just want people to enjoy listening to my music as much as I enjoy making it.

11.  As an influential artist, how do you navigate the ever-changing landscape of the music industry, especially in terms of promoting your music and connecting with your audience?

No clue, that’s the beauty of it. I’ve realised that you can only navigate through music to a certain extent… honestly, anything can happen. 

12.  Can you share any memorable moments or stories from the creation or recording process of 'THANKSLONDO'? Are there any particular tracks that hold special significance for you?

The making of ‘MESSY’ was very memorable for me. We were in the studio from the evening all the way until the morning, experimenting as much as we could. We tried bare different things that session, and the end result was ‘MESSY’. I enjoy working with DA. He mainly just has drill records out right now, but he can tap into pretty much any sound, he just hasn’t put that out yet. 

13.  With your unique blend of infectious production and intricate lyricism, you've established yourself as a musical prodigy. How do you balance innovation with maintaining a strong connection to your fans and their expectations?

 I just make what I want to make. If I focus too much on making what I think people want to hear, then the result is never as good.

14.  What impact do you hope to have on the music industry and the world through your artistry? Are there any specific legacies or messages you aim to leave behind?

 I just wanna make good music with my people and let it speak for itself. There’s no particular outcome that I want.

15.  Finally, what's next for EI Londo after the release of 'THANKSLONDO'? Are there any upcoming projects or collaborations you're excited about sharing with your fans?

Always.
