What’s your name and where are you from? I'm Iceburg Flacko and I were born in Riverside, CA then was in Austin, TX for 18 yrs. Back in Cali now tho. Why do you love what you do? Well, my whole family has a background in music and so I naturally was drawn to music. Plus I have a connection with music and believe music is the one true energy. Everything travels in music. Plus I’m honestly talented at it. What makes you different? Well, I was just born different and idk why but I Am. I went thru a lot for me and in a lot of places and I feel very connected to things and so I like to use music to express everything I’ve seen, been through, that broke me and helped me grow. Also, me having lived in different places I have my own style and flow as well as strong energy. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Man, it’s crazy to try to think like that. I honestly don’t think that far ahead productively. But I do believe I will have brought a new energy to music and something enjoyable, relatable, and truthful. Also, have a nice following, and my brand is profitable. But most of all I see a better me and a wiser soul thru spreading my music and tightening my inner circle. What do you want to accomplish in life? Well, I would love to make a living thru music and be able to take care of my ppl thru opportunities and persistence. And to use music to talk to all those out there still living those words I speak. Whether it be good, bad, sad, litty, scary whatever just enjoy it and connect to it and let it do for u whatever it’s meant to do. That’s the best part. Music has literally saved me many many times over. What do you bring to your industry? I bring a really dope energy and a real one no better yet a genuine one. A different sound that keeps u tuned in. I love performing and that energy u get back it’s pure. But I really think my sound is unique and real and is something that people will connect and rock with. What do you want to be remembered by? Man, that’s a good question that I took a little bit to really answer. In general, I definitely want to be remembered by my music because it’s the realest, deepest, purest part of me and want the world to bang my music and live on through the vibration of my music. That would be amazing. But on a real level I want to use my music platform to make things I think are important in life I want to improve those things. Give back to life and our future. Like with kids because that’s where it starts. Some of the things they are capable of these days is just scary. I want to start a non-profit for kids to help with the community and be a part of something positive as well as help them in developing any talent there interested in and push them to that. Get them excited that they can draw or dance or sing it doesn’t matter just get them the resources they need u know. And the last but the really most important thing is I wanna help raise awareness and really help people that struggle with mental heating. It is so important and a lot of people don’t realize how much it really is.

Meet Keily Edwards
What’s your name and where are you from? My name is Keily Edwards! I was born in Sherman Oaks in San Fernando Valley. My mom got remarried when I was 11 and we moved to the Inland Empire. I lived in Rancho Cucamonga until I was 18 then moved back to LA. Why do you love what you do? Making music fuels my soul. It’s an outlet for every single emotion we endure as humans. It’s how I learned what passion was as a child. As a kid growing up in a troubled household , emotions were extremely overwhelming because I wasn’t able to process situations. I was always alone so I turned to doing karaokes on my mom’s desktop with all my free time. It was an escape for me. Music brings me to a different state of mind. It’s almost like I’m in a different reality when I’m creating sound. I’m able to transfer my trauma into a masterpiece that evokes different feelings from every individual that listens to it. What makes you different? I feel like with living in LA, there’s select people out here who are truly genuine. It sucks to say but some of the people I’ve encountered seem to have a malicious feeling behind their eyes. A blank expression of greed or malice intent. All of the real friends I have made out here have at least a few stories of people leeching off them by getting close and then taking what they want. I stand strong on loyalty and always keeping it real even if that means you’re compromising another person’s feelings. Some people need to hear the truth. Sometimes I do too! That’s exactly why I am so grateful for my friends too! We all keep each other in check and on the right path. I am heavy on always trying to remain a good person regardless of my current state of mind. I never want to upset people I care for. I always want to be able to take accountability for my mistakes even when my ego is telling me I am not in the wrong. I try to express a lot of who I am in my music, whether that be my morals, point of view or my experiences. I want people to genuinely feel my music and learn about themselves through my sound as well. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? I see myself on billboards and with a fan base that loves what I make. I see myself touring all over the world while inspiring all different groups of people. None of my friends look the same as one another and my listeners probably don’t either. I love that! Regardless of your appearance too, everyone is unique to themselves. No one can be replaced because everyone has a different soul. What do you want to accomplish in life? I want to establish my career and fulfill the dreams I had as a kid which still remain. I want to make my mom and brother proud. I want everyone to see my potential become reality . What do you bring to your industry?I bring a unique look, sound and vibe. I bring hard work and dedication with my chin tilted up at all times. I bring a spark and edge that is unique to me. What do you want to be remembered by? Of course I want to be remembered by my music but I also really want to be remembered by my character. I hope people will remember me by the advice I give and my nurturing care for those I love.

One Hard Thing
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: You have the number, you know your schedule- you’ve even picked out the perfect day and time to make this appointment. Shoot, you’ve even picked out alternative days and times just in case their schedules can’t accommodate you!

A Gathering of Evil Bosses
“I’m the queen of chin jutting while I smooth my hair, attacking, insulting, and deflecting to protect my appointer.” “Oh, please, Blondi, my hair is curled, highlighted, and longer than yours. I feature television commercials telling immigrants that we will give them a free plane ride home, and if they voluntarily turn themselves in, they will be allowed to legally apply for re-entry. It runs everywhere, and I look good in it! You can’t compete because of your blond hair. Mine is nicer, and my lips are prettier than yours.”
