Tell us about you:
I’m TriplxIce, and I’m from the DFW area of Texas, Although I’ve moved quite a lot throughout my life. I love music, because of how easy it is to express myself through it. It’s really like therapy for me, and I’m able to express so many emotions that may otherwise be too difficult to express. A lot of times, I have had trouble in the past expressing myself due to ADHD, but because of music, my confidence, and ability to express are much better.
Music really saves me in a way, I wouldn’t be who I am without it. I feel like a lot of people don’t understand how much things like ADHD can affect your life like it’s something that’s hard to comprehend if you don’t deal with it yourself. It’s the same thing for anxiety, depression, and anything else you can go through. Regardless, I know there are people like me who deal with the same weight. That’s another reason I love music because it allows me to speak to people who feel trapped. I really just want to be able to help anyone who goes through what I have.
I feel like the thing that sets me apart as a music artist, is that I experiment a lot and don’t put myself in a box. Another thing as well, is that I try to take influence from both rock music as well as hip hop, and it creates something I don’t think you hear every day. Most of the artists around me don’t bring the real drive to their music either. Where I’ve grown up, I’ve slowly seen the difference in passion and determination for music show itself in how much I work towards this goal. Many of the guys I started with either don’t make music at all anymore, or they’ve just made 0 progress, while I’ve grown so many levels.
Looking back, it all seems so crazy to me, but that’s just life sometimes I guess. If you told that 17-year-old kid that he’d be making music as I do now, I never would’ve believed it. I mean, I’ve really come to be proud of how far I’ve come in so little time. My growth has been exponential, and I’m working to keep it like that. In 5 years, I see myself doing music full time, and reaching the lives of many people with my music. I’m going to be working with people who are household names in the industry, and I see myself even doing tours.
I mean a huge goal of mine is to do performances, the idea of performing is just so cool to me. I just have many ambitions for myself, and I’m trying to realize the dream of earning plaques with my music. I want to be at the point where my name can be put next to people like J Cole, or MGK, and I’m working my hardest to make sure that happens in the near future. My main goal in life is to become a figure in music that brought about change once I’ve passed. I want to leave my mark on this planet and the people I meet.
I want people to remember me by the messages I try to give, and the drive that I put forth into everything I do. I wish to help people get through whatever they go through with my music, and maybe even teach people the life lessons that took me so long to learn myself. I feel like I bring a passion for the music that not many people have these days, and I hope to bring up the people around me with that drive.
