Rock the Hip Hop Interview with Steel McNeal

What first got you into music?

Wow, what got me into music? Ever since I was a young child I always love music. My moms had stacks of old school RnB records I would play on my toy record player, ever since then I fell in love with music.

Who inspired you to make music?

My first love of music was Old School RnB, Marvin Gaye, The Dell, Delfonics Blue Magic, and so forth. At that time I thought RnB music was out of my league because of the professional production that went into making that type of music. That type of music at that time had the whole orchestra playing in the mix of the song, but when hip/hop came around, I was like ok, I can do this. All need was Drum Machine a Mike and a 4 Track Recorder. At that time, I listen to Run DMC and Public Enemy, but when NWA came out, it was over. It was in your face rawness from the street. So all of these elements expire me to get into music.

How would you describe the music that you typically create?

The music I produce, I noticed to be a mixture of different styles of music, Jazz and Hip hop or RnB and Hip-hop, even a little orchestra. It depends on how I’m feeling that day. If it’s love in the air, I’ll write a sexy song, or If want to be empowered I write a hip hop track.

Who would you most like to collaborate with?

I love to do collaborate with Dr. Dre on the hip hop side and Teddy Riley on the RnB side. Both of these guys are great artists that I look up to how they perfect their craft. As a note: I really a big fan of 80s music also and soft rock like The Little River Band, The Eagles, Seal & Croft, and many others, such beautiful music.

If you could go open a show for any artist who would it be?

I love to collaborate with Chris Brown, Kendrick Lamar and Bruno Mars are a few of many.

What is one message you would give to your fans?

My message to the fans is never to give up what makes you feel alive. If you are a music artist, music is part of your DNA and you should always pursue what you want to express and show the world.

What is the most useless talent you have?

My most worthless talent is sleeping, lol.

Do you sing in the shower? What songs?

I don’t sing in the shower.

What would you be doing right now, if it wasn’t for your music career?

If I was not doing music, I will be in a profession helping people to live a well-being life for themselves and their family.

Have you been in the music business for a while?

I just started in the music business and I’m in for the long haul.

How do you feel the Internet has impacted the music business?

The internet has helped the music industry reaches across the world to all cultures to be one nation under a grove.

Which famous musicians do you admire?

One of my favorite musicians is Marvin Gaye. I have admiration for old school music and new school music the same. It’s all about the love of music.

What is the most trouble you’ve ever gotten into?

I don’t get in trouble, keep everything real and you will stay out of trouble. Much love to all.
