I first heard 97pta’s work on the song Colaroid from The Sample Pack by Henry Ross. His voice, ability to mend with the beat and general sound perked my ears. Since that day, I have been a big fan, eventually leading to today’s episode. Our connection was facilitated by Episode 15/3 guest Henry Ross. The second episode of the second season(43) was one for the books!
Justin also known as 97pta is a multitalented artist from New York. He raps, sings and produces his own music, most recently releasing the single “25 Criminal”. Before his string of individual releases, he was apart of a band called Culture Hound, performing live music. The release of “Death of Cinema” came in 2019 for Justin, and he drew heavy influence from early 2010’s music. He went on to explain how his single “Bambi” increasingly grew on him and became one of the premier songs on the project. One of the things that makes 97pta so special, is his ability and willingness to adapt as an artist.
He is incredibly confident in where he currently stands with his improved mastering and producing skills, and is excited to release his new single within the coming weeks. Directly after this interview, 97pta hopped into a studio session. I once again thank 97pta for a phenomenal interview!
We apologize for any sound difficulties.
