I know my songs are crazy now I’m just waiting on the world to notice. “Tryna make it on the Forbes List”. That’s another quote from my song from my song basically saying in that quote I was saying I wanna be really rich like a millionaire or billionaire. My next project a tape or an EP will be hard. Everybody gonna fuck with it, love songs, plenty different type of songs tune in.

Exposed Vocals: So tell us your story. Where did you grow up? What made you decide to become an artist?

Fize Cash: I was born in central jersey New Brunswick to be specific raised up in route 9 the 732 I lived there for good amount of my childhood then moved to south jersey the 609. The street I lived off was route 9. So everyone who lives there say things like “Ima put on for the 9.  I always wrote songs and had love for it, but people always told me it’s almost impossible to make it, plus I use to think you gotta have a lot of money or be signed before you get into a studio. But I started seeing all that wasn’t factual.

Exposed Vocals: How did you come up with that name? What was your inspiration behind it?

Fize Cash: Fize is my name but I was trying to come up with a 2^nd part to my name. One of the rappers that I followed their music use to have cash in their name but didn’t use it anymore so I ran with it. I was always flashy and people always told me that so it fit me.

Exposed Vocals: What do you think about online music sharing? Do you ever give your music away for free? Why?

Fize Cash: Online music sharing is good because in our generation people don’t use CD’s anymore. So that’s the best way to get music heard. Yeah all my music is out for free for now. In my eyes I’m not on a big enough platforms to be charging people. An album definitely won’t be free though.

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?

Fize Cash: To get start up gigs you have to be consistent and hungry with the grind. And give up a lot of fun to be successful that’s what I instilled in myself and you have to network with people. A lot of people gonna put you down and tell you’re never gonna make it and tell you you’re not talented but you truly gotta believe in yourself wisdom from Fize Cash.

Exposed Vocals: Where do you usually gather songwriting inspiration? What is your usual songwriting process?

Fize Cash: Normally my boy Bias who from UK but lives in Germany sends me a fire ass beat and I go off. I normally do the hook first because that makes the song. If I don’t have the hook I go onto to the verse then something pops in my head for the hook. Sometimes the beat just talks to me.

Exposed Vocals: How do you juggle the rest of your responsibilities while trying to stay ahead in your music life?

Fize Cash: Juggling responsibilities is the hardest part because there’s so many distractions, plus school and shit. I just stay focus and stay to myself as much as possible because everybody doesn’t view the same path as me, everybody just wanna be regular and live a regular lifestyle but not me.
