Greetings Collins Isco, first and foremost thank you for sitting down with TheHipHopCloud for this exclusive interview. Since it’s our first interview together let’s take it to your debut in the music industry and how you got here.
Where are you originally from and how did you get your name Collins Isco?
No worries family, thank you for having me here too! And yeah fossure… so I’m from Kumasi, Ghana. Like the Ashanti region part of the country but the name Collins Isco is like…well my first name is Collins and the name Isco can be derived from Collins but also one of my favourite footballers to watch plays for Real Madrid who’s called Isco. And we do have similar playing style ‘cos I’m also a footballer so then friends started calling me by that name and it just became a household name. Hence the name Collins Isco.
How long have you been doing music & what have been your inspirations?
I’ve been doing music for like 6-7 years but I started taking it serious like 4years ago when I became a mainstream artist with my first project. Oh.. my inspirations…my inspirations and motivations most importantly come from The Most High ‘cos he’s the one that gives me the sounds but also at the same time looking at other artists having joy just showcasing their arts and sounds on some of the world biggest stages is also inspiring. Like being yourself and having other beings just vibing on the same frequency with you is a great and grateful feeling to be honest. Amazing stuff…
How would you describe your music?
My music I would say is for every being that’s finding themselves while enjoying life on the day to day basis. At the end of the day there’s nothing new under the sun but just striving to be your very best as a human being in all aspects of life can be very tough but with God all things are possible. Just good vibes and staying a positive blessed spirit is all I’m about…
Whom were your idols coming up?
My idols growing up were Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Cristiano Ronaldo, Wizkid , my dad, my brother King Jozi and some of the legends in music like Shaggy, Kojo Antwi and some more I can’t remember right now. I’m general I learned a lot from just people who were really great at their profession growing up and try to use and add that to my assets.
Talk to us about your single “The One” and how it came about?
Oh “The One”…like I’ve been saying , “The One” came about with vibing and connecting soulfully with the woman the lyrics were inspired by. The single is now streaming on all major platforms worldwide and is steadily climbing the charts by God’s grace. But we were just in the zone and I happen to be listening to beats but that one particular beat just had me like wow, and she felt it too and as I watch her groove and move to it, the lyrics also generated naturally and I just took it from there.
What can we expect from you in the future, are you working on any project we should know and look forward to?
Actually, I’m currently working on the next single and a couple features but I would say the next single should be dropping in no time for Isco Nation. I would say to the fans and supporters to expect more features in the next coming months. Cos I didn’t really wanna do features all year but I have a couple in the works with some other heavy hitters so I’m looking forward to that one too.
If you had any advice to give to an upcoming artist, what would it be?
Any advice…man I would say just believe in yourself and know that with time comes great things if you continue to improve thyself on the daily. All is mind. Like it’s not going to just fall on your lap with you sitting there. You gotta have faith in your purpose and your talent but also know faith without works is dead. Because at the end of the day we’re always going to reap what we sow.
