INTERVIEW

”

…



What is your full name?

My full name is Benjamin Tran



How old were you when you decided your music career was important enough to pursue?

I first started making beats just as I was finishing my first year of high school, so I was around fifteen.

How did you come up with the name Jinsang?

To be honest, It’s probably what you wouldn’t expect, haha. It was really just me reading off the ingredients off a tea and ginseng was in it. I just messed with the name spelling.

What is your daily schedule like?

Nothing special. I usually like to get up in the mornings, (I hate to oversleep) and get some goals done for the day, be it in school or beats. Most of the time I’m just schooling, at home, or just hanging around my city. I don’t really do much outside of that.

What contributed to you and your success as a musician?

I gotta thank the community for putting me out there. All the promotional channels on Youtube along with fans spreading my work has got me where I am today. I will always be grateful for that.

Where do you find inspiration to create beats? What is your creation process like?

I find inspiration in my peers and a lot of the producer greats that I have looked up to since I started. For me, I kind of gotta have to be in a right state of mind and mood. But of course, you can’t always rely on that so I’ve been pushing myself to consistently create things with quality. I hate to put out something that’s like half baked.

What is your current opinion on the genre lo-fi hip hop ?

The lo-fi community is a great one. I’ve never seen a genre where people are tightly knit and people supporting each other as we all grow as artists.



What’s the number one mistake in lo-fi hip hop that you see now?

One mistake I’ve seen with the community is there are some who are too caught up trying to mimic another artist or trying to gain numbers (like followers). It does nothing but saturate the genre and gives a lack of originality/quality. I believe this can apply to other genres of music, not just lo-fi.

‘Thanks for the interview! I’ve got some new stuff coming up soon, stay around.’
