What’s your name?
Ty Garcia, professionally known as Teewhy G
Where are you from?
201, Hudson County, New Jersey!
What is the Hip Hop scene like in NJ these days?
There are so many talented artists in NJ from mainstream to underground, with the Hip Hop scene specifically majority of artists I know are starving artists, who deserve their just do’s, it inspires me to keep going so I can ultimately take responsibility in making their dreams reality as well.
How long have you been making music?
I started creating music over 10 years ago but professionally I have been putting out music for about a year.
Give us some details on your debut EP ‘No Pressure, No Diamonds’ which came out in the summer of 2021.
‘No Pressure No Diamonds’ was my introduction to the mainstream, it’s only 12 minutes long 5 songs and every song has the potential to be a hit in my opinion. it was one of the first times I ever felt really confident in the product I was pushing and knew this project solidified me entering the next phase of my career.
What are your plans for 2022? Are any new releases in the making?
‘No Pressure No Diamonds 2’ is in the process at the moment I also have a couple of features and visuals coming soon that should really elevate my online presence and career. Can’t give you guys the full playbook but just know we’re working on major opportunities!
What and who inspires you when making music?
Besides my friends and family, I listen to a wide variety of music genres and artists when I’m searching for inspiration but I find listening to my own music inspires me most. I tend to listen to music I created when I first started followed by my latest recordings and hearing the growth within the song structure, writing, beat selection, etc completely fills me with inspiration to keep going. Like MoneyBaggYo said “It’s me Vs me!”.
Your favorite track at the moment?
Arrogant TEEWHY G ! Certified HIT!
What do you do when you don´t make music?
Music is my life everything I do always has a benefit to my music career so either I’m learning more about the music business or spending my time in the gym. I love to go on vacation but I’m such a workaholic when it comes to my career my mentality is work now play later!
Whenever I do have some free time though you can catch me on UFC4 online slamming people on their heads 😂.
