Exposed Vocals Interviews Warikoze
Exposed Vocals: So tell us your story. Where did you grow up? What made you decide to become an artist?
Warikoze
I’m get growth in several times: all story have even my birthday when for registering in database which my birthplace was far from big city my parents decide that for last questions of police officers for showing documents on street need to type birth territory info near Moscow town. So that’s way I’m was born in suburban community near capital of Russia. For the second question I’m must think deep…perhaps the way of spelling word’s at first kiddy time has been started after happy emotion’s at flat of friend where we just played in music in abusement of meds. There was freestyle rap session where I’m showed my priority in lifestyle for other’s: friend sat at chair and launched the program with many noises for making instrumental for short leg. Then I’m sung bout item’s which were important role in my daily life. It’s was two thousand and seven. In some period of time I’m was in slumber: copied interesting detail’s, full of glory; increased the action’s over human behavior, normal being and not so. For those moment I’m was in high school, in first record experience. Many year’s were left behind and after the break in creating verses, course of healing mental health in army hospital (and several times in future from military service as private) I’m stopped my attention (2012 year) on clip’s of our neighborhood lightning, man from Caucasus, which want to be famous in MY part’s of brick block so I’m decided to write some creative wave’s on foreign language to win over his swelled head person what MY street’s want to hear. In addiction preparing for start creating I’m also have been on Russian underground group of matching abstract hip- hop in role of fire before their concert started to frozen public (2011 year). There was tries to make English poetry before but only education on portal of American language bring myself forward between all district citizen’s.
Exposed Vocals: How did you come up with that name? What was your inspiration behind it?
Warikoze
I’m good player in online real time games such MMORPG, shooters, strategies, logic one’s. In all of they I’m standing over limited number of nickname’s: first was “atom” then adding “IX”. In that theory I’m have created account of old slasher Diablo II. Account by account I’m get in position to write a name for the character and after not so long searching in higher areas of free variation’s my decision been done: “Warikoze”. That it is cause doctor in clinic said that I have some ill point in body (man’s profile) but after curing problem more deeply there are no any sore. In next year’s I’m met identify in logos of favourite world circus- Cirque du Soleil- the “Varekai” and plus “Kooza” ( I’m may do back-flip from object’s, on foot’s). In more expanded meaning are United Kingdome grime hip- hop artist’s- Wariko ‘n Kozzie. War, I Know Oz E.
Exposed Vocals: What do you think about online music sharing? Do you ever give your music away for free? Why?
Warikoze
Music only are spoken word’s. I’m don’t think that electronic crack’s by setting ordinary frame’s is music at all. “-All in the vocal”- as old buddies “Pet Shop Boys” cast. You need to set new inspiration to soul of listener’s, your position to rule over head’s. That strictly way of my theme which having each song. If one’s sharing my work with another one ( we back in © Babyfather, “Kullimati” song) that I’m really start understand the verb of my nickname as net of dublicate cell’s, not all time good because making line of my storytelling is totally scary for non- ready community. I’m always giving my creepy stories under awesome beat’s ( which I’m found on web square& re-edited ’em) for free at great musicians platform http://soundcloud.com/warikoze in case that if man understand he is prepared for great struggle with street criminal mode. Don’t make any mistake at your own jacket, take help of fed up one.
Exposed Vocals: Since everyone was a start-up once, can you give any smaller or local bands or artists looking to get gigs and airplay some tips?
Warikoze
On my eye scene there some band’s but not in global mark. They dealing concert tour’s at near bar’s, pub’s. Even aren’t having page in previous ad service. They turning only Russian song’s after their consumed cocktail’s. I’m don’t prolong meeting with their long hair face’s cause they don’t take a attention to anyone. So was moment that on celebrating “Helloween” day some member’s of “Tango Cocaine” rock guitar collective done the video with me where I’m making some acrobatic suit’s from roof of rest-sitting house in forest after alcohol taking: was a proud which giving me advice that this captured screen’s will be on my computer after editing and in end of the week where everyday I’m await new message in social web, frontman said that flash- card is burned after he put it in notebook. I’m add his stinky person in ban list. But if need there are their names: “Grizzly Know No Remorse”; “Red Papa Joe”, “Bee’s Adaptic”.
Exposed Vocals: Where do you usually gather songwriting inspiration? What is your usual songwriting process?
Warikoze
Sometimes it coming from my sleep dreams: image that I’m in circle of American people which waiting that I’m start singing new plot, I’m forgetting all word’s and need quickly to say something before public will disappear. When I’m wake up in morning I’m in possession to write new story exactly I’ve already written sketches before in conversation’s with many female or male gender friend’s. When I’m burning inert flame for need to write a text I’m leaving all government structure’s for being in home at my small studio where only notebook with set-in microphone, launch instrumental to hear by ears and then inspiration come to me with easy. Many ways to get be taught after listening. I’m speaking bout modern situation in education process, not common objecting. But having one- detail- per- saying songs, “Back To Street” black market; “Solar Eclipse” about Defence of the Ancient’s 1; “Ring of King” about Tekken fighting on PlayStation portable device and etc.
Exposed Vocals: Do you have a band website? What online platforms do you use to share your music?

Exposed Vocals: If you were given half a million dollars and a year off, what would you do? How would you spend it?
Warikoze
I’m have a version of taking credit card at my twenty three age cause having invalid second group for mental ill: Russia drop on my plastic card some hundred’s of dollar’s. Was hard moment that I’m want more money for shopping, smoking, simply spending to tasty food. This is trap! I’m take only half of sum then bank required to payback in full exist! It’s seem that you taking big bread but on real only half. I’m a accountant for profession. Each time when I’m test money balance on card my person in pray for mistake of operator’s to having more second zeroes of numeral but reality saying each time “nope, dude”. if I have a millions… let me see… I’m will spend to overwriting all my song’s in great studio quality with sound producer’s which know their business in one hundred percent’s. Also to buy some street wear like snap back, hoodies, T- shirt’s with agree picture on they. Then I’m will buy a ticket for my mother to fly for her old woman friend in Paris which has flown to there with new husband to live ( before she had home in next door from us). Bought for native sister education in sphere of psychology, she want it too much. Will take more “Magic: The Gathering” table game card’s ( if want to know more check my song “Wizard Of the Coast” at soundclouddotcom or Russian social web network “vk”). I’m have scar after drop myself body at naked floor with wound when drunk vodka in massive amount to short day coma, want to cure damage on head ( there no any hair on area of injuring). On my middle school stage I’m have been in orphan house with introducing a grammar lesson with that fact won a contest between classmate’s, it mean’s- sending some coin’s to their rehabilitation in society. Will stop violence over animal’s which attacked by hunt dog’s at special station’s for get anger before shooting in wood’s wild form’s. Will come to support VISA card to enjoy the Great Britain atmosphere for some month’s. To set plant’s at own village house from several mile’s from priority home location. To buy are printed photo’s of my youth, present time condition. More portable thing’s like “X Box One”. To make a book from my jokable pronounce. Upgrade home interior, put in to trash old model’s of table, suit case and chair’s from “IKEA”. Money will be spending for origin foundation of most creativity man’s around the world. Food for living near to me little brother’s of nature.
Exposed Vocals: How do you find ways to promote your music? What works best for you?
Warikoze
I’m are most popular person in Russian social resources. May to speech that there in my friendlist not a thousand of surname’s. Only sixty target’s. But my page perhaps of hard each hour working in first line of them. It mean’s that my photo’s, audio file’s, rhyme on not native tongue are publishing in “News” category as primary usage. So that a way of promotion by my own. Also uploading meme’s in “Twitter” that my favorite genre of music- UK grime- singer’s are make a view for my interesting post’s. But to worry: in obviously hundred following by me, in strike back only twenty percent’s. Low rate.
Exposed Vocals: So, what’s next? Any new upcoming projects that you want to talk about?
Warikoze
My precious wish that my song’s will be as a audiobook’s for make a flight of learning bilingual exercises. Want to give a interest for this manipulation’s. Also I’m adding text to incoming track that all may share it on English term lesson. One time I’m try to create course on site of education but was in spider web as fly, need to talk about situation at whole map, it’s simply loosing gold hour’s of free leisure. Maybe one day my wrecked neck after injecting in muscle’s psychiatrist drug’s will let me off but now I’m always keeping hand near mouth for lesser stay head clever in right degree. It disturbing to continue my youtube channel vid’s where singing many song’s of retro classic. Now I’m collaborating with good beat-maker to re-edit some track’s for rotation. In those river flow- publish the EP album ( now I have about seventy song’s). My album’s name’s are “Flat of Land” ( in memory of “Prodigy”); “Gangster’s music”; “Crackflat”.
Exposed Vocals: If you weren’t making music, what would you be doing?
Warikoze
Hm, let’s see at all focus… in the past I was most wealthy dope user which was best client of dealer’s. In some extreme type of living I’m greeting police face to face, on sharp blade of putting to jail. I have soul grow faster that all my known guys; girlfriend’s I have ability to find in same swamp of uncontrol usage. Now it doesn’t work, I’m processing workout disciple, running at town road’s ( good reason if you living near beauty nature with many tree’s, water key’s from underground, sand beech). I cannot imaging the world where I without pencil: I making remark’s for each duty interest, then plussing they in song with duration five to seven minute’s, mixtape. My morning starting with pray for God of Universe in both variant’s till dusk. It keep the evil force’s away from me and in sleep mode I’m in save from imp’s, devil’s.
Exposed Vocals: How do you juggle the rest of your responsibilities while trying to stay ahead in your music life?
Warikoze
I have a mental asylum experience so my unique genge which I choosen is out of rape. When I’m sending new material in music forum’s it taking good view’s at short time without any pay for thousand comment’s as some bot’s try to deliver. When my first work was in net some people try to support my start’s with pleasure word’s for my side. Now they want to known what I’m singing, at yesterday being simply jerk. They may talk that my music have bad sound vibration’s like low wave of melody but no one isn’t said something bout plot in product. Surroundings public try to pretend my authority in creating rhyme asking stupid question’s like: “-Do you know word’s which you spelling?”, no, only double dutch >< . But some magic way those phrase’s building in indie structure verb’s and telling on one breath by hip- hop singer in my face.
Exposed Vocals: What should fans look forward to in 2016?
Warikoze
My fan’s know me as one of fourth decayed horseman’s of Apocalypse which push the button of human mind corner’s. In necessary plan’s are making video with GoPro camera when I’m running around district (about 3 kilometres without rest and challenge riding trolley-bus for winning). It will be compilation of any season’s, slushy or heat, rain or lightning’s, any weather for watch how people with cigarette’s in tooth acting for healthy man which broke bad habit many year’s ago and now taking joy from daily life. Also I’m will increase my track’s knowledge because their many idiom’s, bottomless pit’s of flying when lose violent attention, self respect. Now (how I’m spoke in “Profile ego” song), “bye bye, my dear fan’s on cranes!”
