Heading: From Classical Influences to Trap Beats, E-Stylez Talks About His Journey, Success, and What’s Next
Interviewer: Today, we’re sitting down with Erick Emmanuel, also known as E-Stylez, the music producer blending the best of classical and modern sounds in his unique genre Trap Bluez. Thanks for joining us, E-Stylez! How did your journey in music begin?
E-Stylez: Thanks for having me. I started my journey at 13. Growing up in Cambridge, Massachusetts, music was a big part of my life. I was inspired by classical composers like Beethoven, Bach, and Mozart, and later by music producers like Zaytoven, Scott Storch, and Ryan Leslie. I wanted to create something that combined my love for both worlds, so I started producing my own beats—and I haven’t stopped since.
Interviewer: That’s quite the blend of influences! How did you go from being inspired by classical composers to creating the Trap Bluez sound?
E-Stylez: I’ve always believed that music is about emotions and energy. Classical music has a way of conveying deep emotion, while Trap is raw and energetic. I wanted to merge those two things—using Blues-inspired melodies and classical techniques with the heavy-hitting beats of Trap. That’s how Trap Bluez was born. It’s about creating a vibe that’s both soulful and hard-hitting.
Interviewer: You’ve had the opportunity to work with some big producers like Zaytoven, SuperstarO, and Bricksdamane. What’s that experience been like?
E-Stylez: Man, it’s been surreal. These guys have a serious presence in the industry, and working with them has taught me a lot. Each of them brings something different to the table, but what they all share is a work ethic and a drive for perfection. Zaytoven, in particular, is a legend, so collaborating with him was definitely a highlight for me.
Interviewer: You’ve also had a lot of success with your previous beat tape, Trap Bluez 2. What can we expect from Trap Bluez 3?
E-Stylez: Trap Bluez 2 was a big success for me, and I’m super grateful for the support I got on that. But with Trap Bluez 3, I’m taking things to the next level. Expect more content, more collaborations with artists, and more of that unique Trap Bluez sound people love. I want to push the boundaries of what people think Trap and Blues can be.
Interviewer: Sounds exciting! Have you received any major offers or placements for your beats yet?
E-Stylez: Not yet, but I’m working hard on getting more beat placements with major artists. I’ve already had some placements with local talent and worked with some big producers, but I know the right opportunity will come at the right time. Right now, I’m focused on making the best music possible and letting the rest fall into place.
Interviewer: Music seems to be your full-time passion. Do you ever think about pursuing anything outside of music?
E-Stylez: Honestly, music is my only passion. It’s more than a career for me—it’s my life. The energy that music creates is something the world needs, and I want to be part of that. There’s nothing else that gives me that same feeling of fulfillment.
Interviewer: I love that. So, what’s the most important lesson you’ve learned from your journey in the music industry?
E-Stylez: The biggest thing I’ve learned is that music is a creative process, and it’s all about energy. People feed off energy, and music is one of the purest forms of it. I want my beats to give off the right energy, whether it’s hype, calm, or soulful. Music is life, and I just want to keep putting that energy out there.
Interviewer: That’s a powerful message, E-Stylez. Any final words for your fans and supporters?
E-Stylez: To the Music Money Team and all my supporters—thank you. Expect big things from Trap Bluez 3 and more collaborations coming soon. Stay tuned because this journey is just getting started.
Interviewer: We’ll definitely be looking out for Trap Bluez 3! Thanks for your time, E-Stylez, and good luck with everything ahead.
E-Stylez: Appreciate it! Thanks again for having me.
