Westleaf Staff: How did your early life shape your interest in music?
King Moss: It played a big part, if you ask me. Everything I saw growing up in Florida made me the person I am. Taught me how to carry myself in life, how to manage my hustle. My early life is a crucial component of who King Moss is today.
Westleaf Staff: Who is your biggest musical influence?
King Moss: Being from the south, it’s only right that my list is filled with southern rap. T.I, Young Dolph , Gucci Mane, and more influenced me growing up. Each of those artists has influenced the type of music I create when I am in the studio.
Westleaf Staff: What makes you a unique artist?
King Moss: I’m a unique artist mainly due to my authenticity. My music is an open book to my life. The challenges, the ups and the downs, the smiles and the tears.
