Westleaf Staff: What's up Lau? Thanks for checking in with us! Your vibe is dope. When did you start making music?
WorldWide Lau: I started making music at age 10 on a boom box but I didn’t start taking it serious and releasing music until age 16.
Westleaf Staff: Wow. That's super early. So how did your early life shape your interest in music?
WorldWide Lau: My mom and sister were into music a lot , my sister was a singer and it made me want to be a rapper. We created music together and traveled performing together. Then I decided to take it serious and create a career for myself.
Westleaf Staff: It's cool to see music runs in your family. Salute. Who is your biggest Musical influence?
WorldWide Lau: My biggest music influence is 50 cent.
Westleaf Staff: That's not a bad choice. What has been the defining moment in your music career?
WorldWide Lau: Touring in the United Kingdom.
Westleaf Staff: Ha! We know about that UK Drill. I'm sure you stood out over there. What makes you a unique artist?
WorldWide Lau: I’m more than just an artist, I’m a self taught engineer , videographer , artist manager, consultant, and much more. I have many qualities that most rappers don’t.
Westleaf Staff: Dope. What does art mean to you?
WorldWide Lau: Art is a form of expression. It means a lot to me because it’s one of the only ways many people know to cope with their struggles. I use music as an outlet to release stress. Music is therapeutic.
