 TEQUILLA UDC: Name? Who you are. Background Information? T: My name is Teqilla. I’m a rapper, a female emcee. I’m from Louisiana. My background is that I have been doing music since 1995. So right now I’m ready to bust the rap scene way open. The industry needs a new female out there right now. UDC: Explain what your artist name means to you. T: Tequilla is my real name. Everybody also knows it’s a drink. It’s very intoxicating, just like my music. Intoxicated, that’s how you’ll be, messed up off me. UDC: Who are your musical influences? Why? T: To be honest, UGK is the only true influence. They are one of the reasons that I rap. UGK influenced me by keeping it real, they also kept it hard. I love other rappers and I respected what they do, but UGK is my number one influence. UDC: How long have you been involved in music? T: I have been involved in music sine I was eleven years old. This is what I do. I’ve been doing it for so long. I was born with this talent; it’s in my blood since my entire family is musically inclined
UDC: So what is priority number one for you? T: My son. My son is priority number one, other than that aspect of my life. I would have to say my music. UDC: What are the three most essential items that you need when at the studio? T: Track, microphone, and paper. I don’t need anything else. |
UDC: How do you feel the internet has affected your genre of music and the music industry as a whole? T: The internet is the biggest marketing tool that is out to this date. And I’m just getting started in it; the range of fans that this media can reach is crazy. The internet is where everything is going; it’s the key to artists unlocking a valuable marketing vehicle that gets their names out to the people and makes that sale. UDC: Describe yourself five years from now? T: Five years from now, my people and I are going to be kicking back on an island spending some cash from all the money I’m going to make. UDC: What types of pressures do you face as an artist in hip-hop music? T: As a female artist and a fine female artist at that. Men come at me the wrong way and try to say that I don’t write my rhymes. This is wrong, because I write my own rhymes. I have always written my own rhymes. So on top of my looks and my shape I have to come with it and let them know it’s real. When I go into the studio, it just me dropping. That’s it. UDC: Are there any words that you would like to express to your audience? T: Support me, just as I support the women in the industry. I give my respect to anyone who is doing it. Also, right now everybody that’s on my side, that’s ready to ride then let’s ride out. TEQUILLA 214.483.3059
