GAMELACE RECORDS


UDC: Name? Who you are. Background Information?

CW: I’m Chris Wyatt, CEO of Gamelace Records which also owns Firestation Productions. I’ve been in Dallas for two year. I’m out of Houston, just wanting to start the music movement in Dallas to reach across the nation.

UDC: Explain what Gamelace and Firestation Production means to you.

CW: That’s the wheels and means to get the work done here in our community to across the United States. Our non profit organization is here to work and provide the people in Dallas a means to express themselves and to help themselves.

UDC: How long have you been involved in music?

CW: All my life. I grew up in the church. In school I was involved in communications. I got into radio. I grew up around music so I decided it’s been with me all my life so I went with something I know.



UDC: Is there a message or theme in your music if so what is it?

CW: Any piece of music we put out it has to have a theme to it. Good and bad emotions are always included in the songs. Sometimes the themes changed. It may seem that the theme or message is one thing but beneath the surface it may mean something else.

UDC: How many artists are on the label?

CW: Squeaky Mac releasing January 3rd, The 214 kings which is Reg and Mr. Boss, Dirty Boy, DBo, Miss Dirty Harriet and Black. Gamelace just wants to get our artists out in Dallas and to the nation, then to the world.


UDC: How do you feel the internet has affected your genre of music and the music industry as a whole?

CW: Its affected music greatly. You have to use the computer today in this age. The internet is a must. Thru the internet you can cover vast amounts of land, people, fans, and sales. It’s the best promotion tool for independent labels and artist.


UDC: Describe you five years from now?

CW: We are going to be one of the biggest names in music, promotions and clothing. You name it. Gamelace is set up to be an engine to make other goals and ideas become a reality. Just helping and giving back to the people that can’t be helped thru the systems set up now.

UDC: What types of pressures do you face as a producer/artist in hip-hop music?

CW: Just keeping everybody on the same page on the same road. That’s the pressure I face. I run into people trying to put up a barricade that prevents us from working and getting on the same page or road. When a problem arises we have to take the time to find the solutions and move on to get the job done.

UDC: Are there any words that you would like to express to your audience?

CW: We are the hottest and biggest thing coming in the next few years. The movement is The Texas Takeover, but more than that I want to takeover the nation and the world. I want to go to Japan and they feel me. Then go to Alaska and they feel me. So stay tuned. Gamelace Records and Firestation Productions.
