Isaac: Thanks for the taking the time to complete this online interview. How do you sum up 2008 for Producer KR?

Producer KR: Productive, Hard work and Momentum say it all. It's been a blessing.

Isaac: What do you feel was your biggest accomplishment for 2008?

Producer KR: I've recently locked in a licensing deal for a few major TV/commercial placements.

Isaac: Elaborate a little about whom were your biggest influences in the music industry and why?

Producer KR: Influences! We could be here for a while Issac (lol). I grew up listening to my parents' music. While my friends were memorizing lyrics from Biggie, Jay-Z, and Mary J Blige, I was more into artist like Sam Cook, Ray Charles, Jackson 5 & Aretha Franklin. So my biggest influences would have to be from the 50's-Late to70's era. That was the first time music really moved me and played a serious role in my life.

Isaac: Let's talk about what you feel you will bring to the music industry?

Producer KR: Diversity, personality & creativity is what I offer. The music industry needs more individuals that can move pop culture. That's the goal that really drives me; I want to move pop culture.

Isaac: If you had an opportunity to work with one artist or group, who would it be and why?

Producer KR: Wynter Gordon (Atlantic Records). She is a singer/songwriter with an angelic voice and when I hear it I flip into full creative production mode.

Isaac: How would you describe your music to others?

Producer KR: Ambitious, Energetic, & Fun!

Isaac: What is your definition for Hip-Hop?

Producer KR: A culture, a world were the styles clash, samples are cut rough, and the kick drums are gritty. Hip Hop to me is about individuality and at the same time unity.

Isaac: What type of feedback have you received from your previous releases?

Producer KR: Good, some mixed reviews, but it keeps me on my A game.

Isaac: What can fans expect from your latest CD, you are working on currently? What is the inspiration behind the CD?

Producer KR: I'm devoting all my time and energy into my music and taking it to the next level. Currently, I'm working with several artists on album/mixtape projects. Oh, I'm also working on releasing an instrumental mixtape for the streets in late spring.

Isaac: Where can fans locate you at online?

Producer KR: MySpace of course. www.Myspace.com/PRODUCERKR

Isaac: What can fans expect from Producer KR in 2009?

Producer KR: Innovative music. I'm releasing a clothing line this year (Early fall 09). A weekly YouTube TV show.

Isaac: Time for some shout outs to your family, friends, and fans…

Producer KR: GOD first and most important, my supportive Mom, Dad and Cousin, Beautiful Girlfriend And My amazing 3.5 yr son (Kevin). Cerg Productions (Mic-o, Jason Kelly) And My Fans Thank You for the support.

Isaac: Final words from Producer KR …
