Interview with Tru

  1. Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

  3. Q: What are you working on at the moment?

  4. A: Man..... I really can't release much information, but I will say I've the opportunity to ghost write and vocally produce a lot of records - I'm always in the background comping background vocals and/or dubbing leads

  19. Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

  21. Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

  22. A: are we talking music or? - I'll say this, I'm not looking to get rich off of music, - I do pretty well financially - however to be apart of the revolution that brings real music back into the mainstream audience would blessing. All my 10 years of the schooling, music theory and sound engineering would really appreciate it.
