Mayowa Kay:
Hmmmm
Are you working on any new projects?
Kid M.A.R.L.E.Y : Yeah I am.. Got a beat from a south african pproducer and I'm gonna feature 2 SA artistes on em
Mayowa Kay:
Wow..What's your take on artiste promotions these days? Are they getting it right or wrong?
Kid M.A.R.L.E.Y : Oh yea forgot to mention also been shooting the video for my single Go Hard! It should be out in latest 2months
Errr well its a two way thing, Many are getting it wrong and some are getting it right
Basically it has to do with the work ethic of the artiste, u don't have to wait for your management to do everything, you should come up with innovative ideas on how to move ur brand foward cos no-one can sell yourself like you would
I had no management for years after I quit my 1st management in 09 but since then I've been growing in leaps and bounds having to handle double workload of artiste and manager until just recently I signed a management contract, so its dependent on the artiste's tenacity and ambition when it comes to promo
Mayowa Kay : Ohh what's the name of your current management?
Kid M.A.R.L.E.Y :
WalkthruwallsPr
Mayowa Kay : Alright
Is Kid Marley dating anybody?

His spouse is non-existent, But he's open to dating hwen he finds someone special
Mayowa Kay :Talking about family, how many siblings do you have?
Kid M.A.R.L.E.Y: I just 3sisters technically but I have 1 Sister by blood
Small family but I've always had cousins live with us, I'm the 1st of 2.
Mayowa Kay: Do they all support your career?
Kid M.A.R.L.E.Y : Yeah they have no objections to it. Even my dad who is a pastor supports ite ven though I refrain from asking em for funds
Mayowa Kay : Wow! Omo pastor
Kid M.A.R.L.E.Y : Loool yeah yeah
Mayowa Kay : A lot of artistes don't always like listening to their own music after its being released either for one reason or the other maybe a mistake or they felt they could have done better, do you get that feeling as well?
Kid M.A.R.L.E.Y : Loool I used to get that feeling but but now I've gotten used to listening to my songs..I could replay up to 20 times critiquing my work. I'm my greatest critic
Mayowa Kay : Who are/is your favorite underground act(s) ??
Kid M.A.R.L.E.Y : loool I got loads!!
I'm a music junkie and as much as I listen to blown artist I listen to underground acts.
Well amongst the plenty I listen to my friends Barzini,Paybac,Boogey then I listen to foreign artistes like ab soul,schoolboy q, a group known as vampire weekend, rockie fresh etc
The thing is I spot out artistes I like when they are
underground and then they blow up with time. That was how I knew Drake, Jcole
and kendrick lamar all before they got signed
Now I listen to a lot of lana del rey, nigerian acts and myself or classical music..depends on my mood
