This deeply confident genius-in-the-making kind of artiste has most of what it takes to become a musical giant, as his lyrics are true reflections of issues anyone could relate to. The deejay, born Javaun Fearon, said music his is life and that he’s ready to inflict upon the world this love through his art.
“Music is my life. If you (as a music listener) want to move away from the typical 1-2-3 music and get both inspiration and entertainment then Massicka’s music is what you must be listening to,” said the former Calabar High School student, who also said becoming a lawyer was once his main career choice.
However, music stepped in and Masicka said he has no regrets of that intervention. “I wanted to become a lawyer but then I realized that music was my thing,” he recalled. “I realized the talent from age 10, because I would normally impersonate other artistes like Bounty Killer and Vybz Kartel,” added the 19-year-old St Catherine native.
Currently the young deejay is promoting his new single Go Hard and done, produced by Crash Dummy Records and One Motion Productions. A video, directed by Stevie Fresh, is also out in the public since March and Masicka said he’s pleased with the reception thus far.
“A lot of people have already told me how they like the song and the video. It’s a good feeling because a lot of artistes are in music and to see that people are recognizing my work this early is a wonderful feeling,” he said.
Like most upcoming artistes, Masicka frequently struggles to get airplay, but he has remained confident that that will change due to the quality of his lyrics. He says, despite the obvious bias the system is suffering from, disc jockeys will find it hard to ignore his materials.
“The challenge is to get the song playing on radio. Determination is the key to success and because music is such a stiff competition you have to keep producing the best, which I know I’m capable of,” he added.
Today, in this madcap world, which is filled with unsatisfactory desires, it’s critical for an artiste to remain different yet entertaining in his musical approach. Masicka said he’s content with the requirement of becoming an artiste, and if his approach is smart enough then he’ll great things out of music.
“Couple years from now I see myself as a veteran in the music business. Someone who started from scratch, someone who has addressed his musical approach, and someone who is reaping its benefit,” he said.
