Sheer genius is demonstrated by the fascinating versatile music producer E The Elite in his new single “Basically.” The impeccable artist’s tracks are creatively entertaining and captivate the audience with an immersive and catchy vibe.

We’re lucky enough to have sneaked in for an interview with a talented artist. He was generous enough to lend some of his precious moments as we gleefully stumbled deep into his personal and professional life. Here are some excerpts from the interview:

How did you get to where you are today?

Well in regards to the music business, it’s imperative that you have a team that cares about your success and well being. I work tirelessly to make music but my partners bring additional knowledge to the table that allows me to market myself. But aside from that you just have to make sure that you do a LOT of research on branding because the industry is more business than music. Even though I prefer the music, I still have to go to meetings and learn.

Where do you originally hail from and where are you based now?

I’m from Newark, New Jersey and I’m still here.

“Basically” is captivating from the start to finish with a combination of unique beats and catchy lyrics. What was the inspiration behind the single?

Thank you! I wanted to try something new. I wanted to make a mainstream type of song without losing the essence of my art. So I found a beat I liked and it flowed off my tongue. I wanted to make something easy to remember and fun to perform.

What has remained as your constant source of inspiration?

My experiences growing up in Newark and my attainment and loss of love throughout are what shape my inspiration.

Describe your favorite and least favorite part about being a musician.

I love recording and combining my vocals with music and sound. It feels like magic and it’s my favorite part of the process.
I don’t really dislike anything about being a musician. Any pressure I feel is the pressure I put on myself and I can’t blame that on the craft.

How do you deal with the pressures of being a star and the constant adulation from fans?

Ha! I wouldn’t consider myself a star just yet! As flattering as THAT was. I was just talking about pressure! I don’t feel external pressure. All of my pressure comes from being hard on myself. People can see the effort put into something whether or not it’s their cup of tea. That’s why I work hard; I want it to show. I do love compliments, of course everyone does. I think that even just a few positive responses from unbiased individuals is fuel because it assures me I’m on the right track and I am thankful for their time.

Are you working on any project right now and what can we expect from you in the future?

I have enough unreleased music for new a project right now but at this particular moment I’m focusing on consistency and dropping singles to broaden my fan base so that when I do drop a project I want it to be after great anticipation.
