O TYM ODCINKU
My guest this week is Illinois-born singer, rapper, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Phoelix. We spoke about Supacell, Deadpool & Wolverine, the pros and cons of 4DX, Blazing Saddles, singing and playing instruments in church, how working on Noname’s “Shadow Man” boosted his self-confidence, working with partner Kari Faux, music as a tool for centering yourself, and the creative process behind his EPs Calibrate and Traffic, the latter of which drops on Wednesday, September 4. Come fuck with us.
Traffic will be available wherever music is sold, streamed, or stolen on Wednesday, September 4. Follow Phoelix on Instagram (@phoelix), Twitter (@phoelix_), and TikTok (@phoelix630)
