INTERVIEW: PG w/ HipHopCanada.com
PG chops it up with HHC while promoting her debut release Elements of PG (which is available now!).
This young woman has an upside that is very real at this point. Her potential grows as her understanding of her own image and vocal talents develop. She’s a hybrid of vocal ability who transitions between rapping and singing with impressive ease. PG‘s first project entitled Elements of PG is on it’s way and has been preceded thus far by her latest video “Tune In” as well as several video blogs detailing her creative processes. Surrounded by a dedicated team and another graduate of The Remix Project, she gives HipHopCanada an earful in our latest Prolific Profile.
HipHopCanada: How do you define hip-hop, and where do you feel you fit into that definition?
PG: In my opinion Hip Hop is a form of expression. Like paintings and other forms of art, music is a way of articulating your feelings. I believe Hip Hop is no different and I fit into that definition because with my music I share my stories. It is my way of letting the people hear my life, my struggles, and my successes. It is also a way of escape for me, where I can creatively say all the things I may not be able to say when simply speaking.
HipHopCanada: What drives you to stay in a business that is rarely profitable and highly competitive?
PG: To begin, the love for music. Despite profit and competition, good music speaks to my mind, body and soul and I love me some good music. So even if I am making it for myself, music will always be with me. Secondly, I would say the support I get from the people who actually take time and listen to my music, and who love it. That makes me feel good and lets me know that I am doing something right, that’s motivating. In addition, the haters also motivate me to surpass all the negativity and strive to become a better artist to shut them up (LOL). Lastly, the fact that I know I am a great artist and the possibility to take my music to the next level gives me something to strive toward.
