ANoiD TV has relocated, and to celebrate we secured an interview with one of the hottest rising producers/beat makers currently running the game, Flwr Chyld. Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, Flwr Chyld is a classically trained musician who leverages his technical skill and sound for music to envelop listeners in a soulful soundscape. Think about the best summertime kickback you've had and Flwr Chyld's music would have probably made it even better.

It's been a minute since we've seen anything from the multi-talented creative Bish Figaro, and that's exactly as he wants it.

For Joseph Ocampo, skateboarding is about being young and carefree. As the head of the skate brand, Luis Skateboards, Joseph wants to preserve that free-spirited nature through clothing and film. Drawing inspiration from vintage skateboarding videos, the young filmmaker created Saludo, a short film dedicated to the pure nature of the lifestyle he and his friends choose to live. For Joseph, it's all about keeping the true essence of skateboarding alive.
Elaff Houmsse's art is a stark contrast to her personality. Her energetic, free-thinking spirit is juxtaposed by eerie, abstract imagery–but that's just as she wants it.

For TUT, life is not as it appears to most. Being drawn to ancient philosophies and ideologies throughout his whole life, the young artist/skater/curator/whatever else he feels like draws on intuition to help guide him in the direction of his calling.

Thoughtful in speech, TUT took some time to speak with us about his life, methodology, and process before his art opening, The Temple of Ouroboros.

Monroe Jordan's soft and smooth vocals and his relentless desire to be among some of the greats in music have been the driving forces behind the young singer's laser focus on honing his craft. Despite his insane drive, Monroe is not in a rush to make any of this happen. As a self-proclaimed perfectionist, the mind behind songs like "i luve it" and "bound" is meticulous about all the work he creates and will only allow the rest of the world to in once he feels the time is right. Oh yeah, and the man constantly keeps a calm demeanor about himself, never flinching on any word he utters.
During our conversation, Monroe talks about his early days of music, when we can expect new projects from him, and how he relates to fictional characters like Mordecai from Regular Show and Finn, the Human from Adventure Time.

A somewhat sheltered childhood bred Ian Lateef for a life of creativity. Limited access to specific images, ideas, and information drove Lateef to crave everything just out of his reach.
As the young creative grew older, he found that the images that may make some cower and cringe gave him energy and inspiration.
Today, Lateef creates artistic visuals under the moniker "Lisp" and continuously finds new ways to push the envelope. His pieces are the perfect blend of offensive and intriguing, explicit and engaging, irreverent and beguiling.
In this episode, we tapped into the expanding universe that is the mind of Lisp, and even then, there is still so much left to wonder.
