Tickdo: People know me as Fly Boy. Better known as Tickdo. From the sunniest cities of the world, Miami, Florida. I am 21 and very meticulous about the music i create and exhibit. If i could describe my music in a line I would say “It’s dandy, you don’t have to tell me”.

24: Before we get into your music, can you describe your history about how you got into and what inspired you.

Tickdo: My inspiration comes from the thrill of creating good music. Music made exactly to fit the sound of the beat, down to its very last tune, tones, high, and lows i know them all. It’s so evident to me, I find it therapeutic.

24: What was the Hip-Hop scene like for you growing up where you’re from?

Tickdo: I was growing up watching the VIBE, video mix, and the box. I was listening to Rappers like Biggie Smalls, Tupac, Ice Cube, and Snoop Dogg. That’s when MC’s were parcel of Hip Hop, MC’s were putting out music that had meaning or inspired many. They were lyrical, and had immense amount of vocabulary. That’s what music was like!

24: What makes you Unique as a artist and different from other rappers out now?

Tickdo: What makes me unique is my ability to transform with music, I created a vast variety of music that smite listeners ears in a good day. I could perform different styles, ways, and different beats. Im not particular about the music I create my music is diverse. A listener would not know what to expect. That is what i call the element of surprise.

24: Are you happy with the feedback you have been getting from people on material you have released?

Tickdo: Shake it for me is doing very well, i have a few other tracks that are now on the same route not to far behind. Im getting positive feedback, but with every paired part you have to deal with with the other side, ultimately its all about how I feel. Speculation is apart of human nature, allowing negative feedback to affect anything i do would be holding back from my full potential self regulation is virulent. The opinion of others will never demolish my craftmanship as an artist.

24: In today’s free download age, what do you need to do to make yourself a household name?
