THE HEAT MAGAZINE: Tell our readers about your music – what drives you as an artist?
KING SUNI BLAC: My music is for the listeners. I am more of a conscious artist with a message. I started out as a poet, more spoken word, and always had my eyes on becoming the next 2Pac Shakur. The more practice I pursued, the better I got. I always wanted to stand out and be different with music. I’ve never been the get in where I fit in type of guy. But being a Baller doesn’t help you in the music game because the ballers before me didn’t pan out so well. My drive is making the type of music that I like to listen to. I’m not an artist for the fame or the money or the attention. I have an amazing story to tell and I want the world to hear it.
THE HEAT MAGAZINE: Who were your musical influences?
KING SUNI BLAC: My musical influences are 2Pac, The Roots, Mos Def, Andre 3000, Common, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Jill Scott, and BIG. Those type of artists helped me make the music I make.
THE HEAT MAGAZINE: Your style is unique & refreshing. What did you do to develop your talents?
KING SUNI BLAC: What did I do to develop my talents in music? I just love music, like music without lyrics. I collect music like an art collector collects paintings – the harmony, the flow of energy, the impact to the soul. Something happens to me when the right beat hits my ears at the right time. I just start to write down what the beat tells me and by the end of the track, I listen back and I’ve said some things that I have no clue where they come from, but it fits the track perfect and the storyline of the music is now written. I continue to practice my craft until it’s an undeniable demand for my music because it has amazing substance. That’s my purpose with music.
THE HEAT MAGAZINE: What inspires you?
KING SUNI BLAC: God is my source that inspires me. He tells me I am to lead the people with my music and to share my pink light with the world. My message shall touch those who need guidance.
