Exclusive Interview with Phaze

image
Artist Spotlight: Phaze
 
With a cadence that is at once conversational and commanding, Phaze rides the beat in tight pockets, building momentum through bursts of intensity that amplify the song’s raw urgency.

“We caught up with Phaze to explore the moments that defined their sound — and the vision that drives their next chapter.”

PapersPlanes: What inspired your single "Vengo De Nada", and what story are you trying to tell through it?
 
Phaze: The song was literally made in about 20-30 minutes. My engineer and I (Choko Beats) were talking about doing a feature with David Rolas and it started off that David was taking initiative on the song but he had to go drop his cousin off at his house, so in that meantime Choko played another 4 bar drum pattern and I told him let’s roll with that one instead. Choko got on the keys and I got on the mic and sang the melody and Choko worked around the whole song and when David came back he stood in awe and asked me “I know this is your song but could I jump on it?” And I said “hell yeah bro that was the whole plan” and the rest is history.
 
PapersPlanes: How has your music evolved since you first started out?

Phaze:I remember starting off I couldn’t even write one bar hahaha and right now that you asked me this and reflect and “Damn I’ve come a long way” and this is just the beginning I have a lot more music in the vault that I’m going to love to share to the world when the time is right. Timing is everything.
 
PapersPlanes: Can you share a behind-the-scenes moment from your recording process?

Phaze:I had a studio session with KXNG Crooked aka (Crooked I) and I was nervous knowing that I was about to work with an artist that has worked with Eminem and I kept thinking to myself “what if he don’t f**k with it?” But since it was my song I went in the booth first layed down my verse and harmonized a hook and I wasn’t sure about it but Crook told me to roll with it and I did and I remember stepping out of the booth and KXNG Crooked rapping the cadence to my lyrics it was a great feeling seeing that he actually liked what I did and then he went in there and just off the top in like 5 minutes he was done with the verse and it came out crazy dope. The song is called “Perico” which in Spanish that’s a word for cocaine but I named it like that because of how powerful the song was going to be. It’s available on all streaming platforms for anyone that wants to listen. But yea that was crazy behind the scene moment with one of the best lyricist in the world. Shout out KXNG Crooked ??
 
PapersPlanes: How do you stay motivated and creative during times of writer’s block?

Phaze:I honestly completely disconnect with the music and get on my networking game for weeks or even months or not even do anything related to music at all just live life until I feel motivated by any experience I live that I need to make a song out of, get into my creative zone and start making music again.
 
PapersPlanes: What role does your personal life play in shaping your music?

Phaze: Everything. If I never lived it I won’t write or create music about something that I’ve never experienced. I kept it 100 in everything I do.
 
PapersPlanes: How do you approach collaborations with other artists?

Phaze: I’m open to it as long as the other artist is dope, And if I do a collaboration I make sure the artist(s) of the song were working on are also present at the moment of creating. It’s just a magical moment caught on the microphone when done like that.
 
PapersPlanes: What has been the biggest challenge you’ve faced in your career, and how did you overcome it?
 
Phaze: Addiction. I was addicted to fentanyl and died 3 times and by the grace of God im still here. I had to be away from that drug for like 5 months at a rehab in TJ to finally feel ok but it’s so addicting that it’s just on your mind constantly and even in your dreams. After I got out of rehab I relapsed, died 3 times in 3 days and that was the final straw for me. I had to get off it or I was going to die. I chose to LIVE rather than DIE and give thanks to God everyday for helping me get out of the hell I was in. God works in mysterious ways and every single time I OD’d the medicine was available and the quantity to come back to life from a Fentanyl overdose. It’s the worst feeling in the world coming back to life, but like my new album IF IT WERENT FOR GOD I would not be here today.
 
PapersPlanes: How do you connect with your fans and build your community?

Phaze: On social media mainly and email list. I know what it’s like to be an artist and it’s not the easiest thing to do so I try to help anyone and everyone as long as they’re as serious as I am.
 
PapersPlanes: Are there any new genres or styles you’re interested in exploring?

Phaze:Of Course. It’s limitless for me in open to work on any genre or style I know I would need the practice but will only make me better than what I already am.
 
PapersPlanes: What legacy do you hope to leave in the music world?

Phaze: Phaze’s (David Josue Arauz) Purple Pyramid’s (Record Label) legacy. I want to change music and bring it back to what it was, when you would hear a song and it would give you goosebumps.
