Finally the wait is over...... My exclusive interview with Racine,Wisconsin urban pop Mr. Frizo.He talks his beginnings, his new album, and the state of indie music.
Bio
25 year old, Jon Friso, aka “Mr. Frizo” to Hip Hop music fans, is one of those rare recording artists whose musical style can truly be described as unique. While the Racine, Wisconsin artist creates music that is clearly a form of Hip Hop and Rap, it has also been described as Urban Pop and Suburban Hip Hop at the same time. The reason for the wide variance in labels is that Frizo is able to blend so many styles into his music. What sets him apart is that he is a strong lyricist who knows music and music history, and that he brings more instrumentation to his rap than most even think about.
Add to that, Frizo’s roots in a place off the typical beaten path for Hip Hop and Rap, the East and West Coasts, and you begin to understand why people who hear him find his music so fresh and appealing. Frizo is also smart enough to know that he can’t pretend to be some urban rap wanna-be. He is who he is and by recognizing that, he has carved out his own place in the game. And in the process he has also made Hip Hop more accessible to people who might otherwise feel it is not something they could relate to.
Recently signed to the L.A. based Marlo Music record label, Frizo is about to truly go national with the official release of “Behind The Music,” his first of several albums expected under the label. While this is the first album to get a national push, it is Frizo’s fourth album since 2004. So once again, what will look like overnight success to some, is nothing of the sort as Frizo has been working the clubs and in his recording studio for several years now, refining his craft and getting it to the place where it is today, ready for its explosion worldwide.
