Behind the Mask: The Rise of ALTRBOY and 'LAMBO EYES' Say hello to ALTRBOY; the latest addition to the list of artists who are making music feel fresh and exciting with her newly released song “LAMBO EYES. ”ALTRBOY is not your ordinary trap artist, she’s playing with the genre and subverting expectations with a touch of dark pop that loads this song with brightness. Like her high-pitched voice with that bass, you know the deep kind that rumbles your chest? When you put it all together you definitely get goosebumps. However, don’t think that she just appeared randomly and out of the blue. ALTRBOY has been out of the limelight for some time now creating tracks for other artists like John legends and Sabrina Claudio. Well, now she’s decided to step out into the light herself, and let me tell you something, you’re going to want to watch. Her inspirations are apparent in her work: From Lil Yachty to James Blake, she has drawn from all of them. “LAMBO EYES” is as you might have guessed was created after one wild night with the inspiration coming from Lamborghini headlight. But only ALTRBOY could take that and make it a banger. The music style she brings can be classified as unique since there is nothing like it in the market now. The groovy rhythms, sequences of synths, and lush melodies accompanied by auto-tuned singing sound are so compelling that one would want to play songs on loop. And that’s not all – there is even more music coming out soon. ALTRBOY may be here for a good time, but she’s here to take the music industry by storm. So sit tight, ladies and gentlemen We are going deep into her territory to discover what drives this emerging talent.

I use a plugin called Little Alterboy on a lot of my vocals and at the time I was changing creative direction as I used to go by a different name. I really liked the name AlterBoy but I wanted to make it a bit different so I removed the “E” and made it ALTRBOY. Where do you find inspiration? I listen to a lot of different genres of music and tend to pull from what I enjoy the most. I have been through a lot in my life and usually right from my own story but I also enjoy telling stories from other peoples point of view, I find that to be quite relatable. What was the role of music in the early years of your life? I grew up doing school musicals at a young age. High school was a difficult time for me, I ended up moving away at 16 and music wasn’t in my life as often. It wasn’t until I was in my early 20’s that I started to take music more seriously. I started making beats on GarageBand and eventually graduated into Logic Pro. During that time I realized I love writing more than anything so I started to focus more on songwriting and eventually I moved to Los Angeles to pursue my dreams. Are you from a musical or artistic family? No. My father is a roofing contractor and my mother is a bookkeeper. Although my household was not very musical my parents always played music. They loved to play Elton John, Cat Stevens, Paul Simon, Gospel music, Michael Jackson and many more. Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry? When I was young I loved writing poetry. My friend and I started a little songwriting group (just the 2 of us) where we would write songs together and sing them without music, as neither one of us could play an instrument. As I got older I knew I wanted to be in the creative arts and music was something that I wanted to be really good at so I dedicated all my time to songwriting. How did you learn to sing/write/to play? I had a great mentor that taught me how to use Logic which is where it all started. He taught me work ethic and persistence which lead me to work on my craft every day until I became who I am today. What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform?

The Foo Fighters How could you describe your music? Depending on which song you are listening to I would say my sound is a mix of grungy pop and emotional songs that anyone who’s been heartbroken can relate to on some level. Describe your creative process. I usually start with a simple loop. I then record a few melody ideas and pick the ones I like the most and from there I begin to write.

Myself. I want to be my best self, I want to continue to grow and out-do my yesterday self. I want my younger self to be proud of the person I’ve become. What musician do you admire most and why? Pharrell Williams and Kanye West. Pharrell because he is such a talented shining light that stays true to himself no matter what and Kanye because he is incredibly talented and has had such a large impact on the music and fashion industry and he is unapologetically himself. Did your style evolve since the beginning of your career? Yes Who do you see as your main competitor? Myself What are your interests outside of music? I love spending time in nature; hiking, beach, jogging in the forest, etc. I like thrifting. I enjoy painting on clothes and shoes and occasionally make jewelry. I just like to stay creative. If it wasn't a music career, what would you be doing? Idk. Probably living in the middle of nowhere without a cell phone enjoying life lol. What is the biggest problem you have encountered in the journey of music? Genuine relationships. The industry moves different and you have to learn how to filter out the good ones from the bad ones. It can be pretty brutal at times. It can definitely make you feel pretty isolated and lonely if you let it. If you could change one thing in the music industry, what would it be? Songwriters get paid equally. https://open.spotify.com/artist/4Rh1fsKSgnCCTzwsz8dBDD Why did you choose this as the title of this project? The title of this song came after an intoxicated conversation about how Lamborghini headlights look similar to a faded persons eyelids. What are your plans for the coming months? Continue to make music. I have a lot of projects I am working on right now, including my own stuff. So I will be pretty busy. Do you have any artistic collaboration plans? Yes, I am working with a number of producers and artists right now. Helping build projects from the ground up, creating music for tv/film and much more. What message would you like to give to your fans? Stay true to yourself, always. If you work hard, stay focused and keep your energy clear there’s nothing you can’t do.
