El Train

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I was 11/12 when my sister introduced me to N.E.R.D.'s debut album. It was a game changer for me; blending R&B, hip-hop and rock. I became obsessed with the Neptunes from that day, devouring every song and Youtube videos from the studio I could find! What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Alongside releasing my own music, I make sample packs, so imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon one of my samples on Phife Dawg's posthumous album. The track, "Dear Dilla" also featured Q-Tip. Being a huge fan of ATCQ and J Dilla, that was crazy! Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? There are so many amazing artists I'd love to one day work with from Kendrick, to Loyle Carner, to Kojey Radical and so many more. Also, I'd love to one day win a Grammy!
