Interview With Rico Lavelle!

 

 

Today I had the pleasure of interviewing Rico Lavelle, singer and rapper from Detroit, Michigan. You can get to know Rico a bit more by reading the interview listed below. Enjoy!

 

 

 

Charisma:

When did you realize you had a passion for music?

 

RL:

I just really like music. I use to sing around the house when I was younger. I remember Ginuwine, had a song called, "Why not me?". I use to dance around to that song a lot. I also got caught singing in school by a group of girls.

 

Charisma:

If you could collaborate with any artist, who would you choose?

 

RL:

Andre 3000, SZA and anyone else with a major influence.

 

Charisma:

If you had the opportunity to sign with a major record company, who would you choose and why?

 

RL:

I don't want to be signed! I want to be independent! I believe in having creative control and taking chances.

 

Charisma:

What advice do you have for young men with dreams of being in the music industry?

 

RL:

Make sure this is something you want to do, if not stop because you'll just end up wasting your time if you're not serious.

 

Charisma:

What can the world expect next from Rico Lavelle?

 

RL:

Don't expect anything. Just wait!

 

Charisma:

Do you have a celebrity crush?

 

RL:

No!

 

Sooooo, clearly Rico Lavelle wanted to jump more in depth, so I suggested we play, "This or That".

 

Charisma:

Relationship OR Multiple Girls?

 

RL:

Relationship, because of protection. Also, because I prefer quality or quantity.

 

Charisma:

Private OR Socialite?

 

RL:

Private, because I have personal life.

 

Charisma:

Now OR Later?

 

RL:

Now, because tomorrow isn't promised and the things you do today will affect your tomorrow.

 

Charisma:

Versatile OR Consistent?

 

RL:

Versatile, because doing the same thing over and over again can get boring.

 

Rico Lavelle will be releasing his new project, 2AM this month.

Along with the project a film visual for each song is set to follow.

The album will include a introduction along with five tracks.

 

Charisma:

What is your favorite song on 2AM?

 

RL:

I would have to say, my favorite song is the Intro. It reflects on temptation and making the right and wrong decisions. Not to mention, it describes my edgey lifestyle.

 

Charisma:

Any features on the album?

 

RL:

I worked with Tony Boy, Drew, Whitney, and Vealyree. They're all from Flint, Michigan. I also worked with Heizenburrr, a producer from Pontiac, Michigan.

 

Charisma:

Why did you decide to name the album, 2AM?

 

RL:

I decided to name the album, 2AM because basically everything I talked about is what's usually on my mind or what I'm doing at 2AM!
