- Where are you from and what was it like growing up there?
Honestly, I’m from a small district called Watts, California. I went to Locke high school graduated from Crenshaw. Being from Watts its like any district/city in the world, it had it’s up and downs but definitely more ups. What I do realize now that I’m older I knew what gang territory was at a young age and what colors I could/could not wear. I wear any color I want now that I’m older I don’t care I walk with god.
2. What music inspired you growing up and now currently?
Nas, Tupac, Jay Z, Kanye West and Nipsey Hussle is Gods lyrically. DMX, J. Cole, & Fabolous is Jesus lyrically. Lauryn Hill is like the Virgin Mary. That music is the reason why I fell in love with music. People that I currently listen to are Saviii3rd, he definitely is Tupac of his generation. I love his music when he raps, I listen to him, it’s like he’s speaking to me and only me, let me get off the question I can keep going. 1 more artist is Big Sad 1900 he hard AF! Saviii 3rd and Big Sad 1900 run the west and thats not up for debate.
3. You have a podcast, tell us about that and what made you start that and where did the inspiration come from?
I have a podcast called Jami B And Friends where we interview people from the West Coast. My goal is to show people how beautiful and talented the West Coast is. I love interviewing people not only artists/ entertainer, but iIlove to interview anyone who has a story.
4. What do you like about interviewing artists and what don’t you like?
I love to talk and I love to ask questions. So I thought it would be cool to interview people that have a story to tell. I love interviewing artists before they blow up like Lil Vada and DonnySolo.
5. Where do you see yourself in five years?
I see my self with my brother Lavonte F Smith having other podcasters under us. Everything I do is because of my brother he’s the reason why I do what I do. To be honest thats a question him and I could only answer together Jami B and friends podcast is nothing with out my brother.
6. What do you want people to take from your podcast?
I want people to know I’m human, I’m flawed, I’m not perfect, but I hope when you hear / look at my podcast you can relate. I hope it puts a smile on your face and makes your day.
7. Anything else you the want world to know…
My dream is to interview Matt Barnes. I met him a couple of time real humble dude. I would also love to interview Charlamagne tha God and Big Boy. I will interview them soon. I already put it in the universe and I shall receive it!
