Standing out isn't easy. In fact, as crowded as modern pop culture is, it is nearly impossible in this day and age. However, when an artist does pave a different path, it is instantly felt everywhere. You certainly feel that the instant you hear Harry Hudson.
The 19-year-old Los Angeles singer breathes a deep message into irresistible pop R&B songs. With a dynamic voice and even more dynamic presence, he is ready to flip the script.
Hudson discovered music almost as soon as he learned to talk, listening to Michael Jackson records constantly with his mother while growing up in the suburbs of Los Angeles. In high school, music turned into a serious passion as he recorded demos with his friends, even squeezing into a bathroom in order to get the perfect echo on his MacBook. After graduating high school, he made a songwriting pilgrimage for two months to Sweden, and everything became clear.
"I'm not in it for fame and money," Hudson concludes. "I want my music to bring joy to people who have trouble finding beauty in life. I want to be an example. So many people are self-conscious, girls and guys. I want to encourage people to be unique. Be yourself, that's beautiful."
That style will stand out for a long time to come.
TMC: For those who unfamiliar, tell the people who Harry Hudson is?
HH: I'm a 19 year-old, independent pop artist from L.A., and my debut single -
"World Is Gone" - dropped on Valentines Day of 2013.
TMC: What made you want to pursue music as a career?
HH: In high school, music turned into a serious passion for me. After high
school, I differed from Columbia School of Chicago's music school to move to
Sweden for 2 months where I worked with a Swedish producer and songwriter who I met here in LA. I didn't know what it took to pursue a music career until I met them. In Sweden, we all slept on the freezing cold floor in an attic of a tiny recording studio. I hated it, and I almost quit because of it, but it challenged me to work harder. It made me hungry. I realized that nothing was going to be handed to me, and if I wanted to make it, I'm going to have to work harder for it. When I got back home, I was ready.
TMC: Name some people who influence you when it comes to music?
HH: Michael Jackson, Eminem, and Justin Timberlake have all had an impact on me and my music in different respects.
TMC: What is your favorite thing about being an artist?
HH: I don't think there is a better feeling than knowing your music has a
positive influence on people. If I can make someone's day a little brighter with a song, then I'm accomplishing what I set out to do as an artist.

TMC: Not too long ago you released your first single "World is Gone".. How did
you come up with the concept.. Give a little insight for those who haven't heard
it... & the response you've gotten from it so far
HH: The concept for "World Is Gone" came from an experience I had with a girl I met last summer. I thought she was beautiful, but she kept denying me when I'd asked her out. Instead of giving up, I wanted to prove that I could love her until the end of time. In the end, I didn't het the girl which is fine because it inspired my debut single!….. For people who haven't heard "World Is Gone," it's an eternal love song that takes elements of pop, hip-hop, R&B, and house and fuses it all together. Listen to it and you'll understand…. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback from bloggers, music magazines, and all my followers on my social networks. "World Is Gone" was #1 on the Hype Machine's most popular
songs on twitter for 3 days straight, which was awesome. I think the only
negative response I've gotten is from my neighbors telling me to shut up when I sing it really loud in the shower.
TMC: Greatest Achievement since doing music?
HH: This interview tops them all!
TMC: What makes you stand out from all the other artists trying to come up?
HH: I'm very confident in myself as an artist. I don't do covers, I don't do
anyone else but me. I want to be an example for young people to be unique, to be themselves, because that's beautiful.
TMC: What's something people may not know about Harry Hudson?
HH: As world renown chef, I'm best known for my grilled cheese, top ramen, and cinnamon toast crunch... Oh yeah, and I'm single. Ladies get at me ;).

"DJs role in the industry is the most important because through the DJs brings artist promotion and other outlets for artists."
TMC: What was it about being a DJ that made you want to pursue it?
YRS: I just love everything that comes with Djing I feel like being a DJ is one of the most important aspect in the music industry. With out the DJ’s you wouldn’t have club spins, radio spins, or any promotion behind your music. If you’re an artist the most important thing you should do is contact the DJs.
TMC: Before becoming a DJ were you influenced by other DJs? If so who?
YRS: I was influenced by funk master flex, I was always into how hype he would have hot97. I’m also inspired by DJ Drama his grind on the mixtape scene is crazy. There’s plenty of DJs that I’m influenced by I just like to work with everyone who is on there grind.
TMC: How important do you feel a DJs role is in the industry?
YRS: I think the DJs role in the industry is the most important because through the DJs brings artist promotion and other outlets for artists. If you are an artist and you don’t network with the DJ’s your career will only go so far. I tell my artists all the time to contact DJ’s they can make or break your career.
TMC: A lot of artists, especially the Up & Coming trying to make their way into the business don’t really know how to come at djs. What advice can you give?
YRS: Always make sure that you have everything that a DJ needs to promote you. When you email a DJ make sure you songs are tagged right you want to make everything easy for us we don’t want to go looking for your projects. As long as you continue to send good music for us we can always help you out.
TMC: What do you feel the industry is missing?
YRS: I think the industry is missing a lot more of unique artists a lot of artists have beats that sound the same I like to hear something different. As an artist I feel like you shouldn’t try to imitate another artist. I’m just looking for more talent that the game could have.
TMC: Who are some upcoming Artists that you support right now?
YRS: I support my artists J Paq & Chox-Mak they have been constantly working non-stop. Also my brother Slide Dillinger he has a dope project in the works called “Sacrifices” and he will be dropping visuals and freestyles real soon. Trel Mack is another dope artist on the rise I’m apart of his label SKE Records he’s next up and were all just on the grind right now.
TMC:What are some projects you are currently working on?
YRS: I’m working on “Talented Minds” with Q The Question the co-owner of SKE Records. We are currently accepting slots at qthequestion@gmail.com. I’m also getting ready to drop a instrumental mixtape with a producer I manage named Lex Gunna its called “ Beats 4 The Trap 2” and it drops February 28th.
TMC:If your accept it, how do artists go about submitting tracks for mixes or mixtapes?
YRS: You have to send me your best work and make sure that it fits the series that I’m working on at the time. I don’t just accept any thing I like to hear that the artists on my mixtape are putting in the work. I like originality, show me that you are original and I’ll work with you.
TMC: What's something people may not know about you as a person?
YRS: A lot of people don’t know that I also manage artists I like to work with everyone on the come up. I’m about my business and never mix it with personal things. I like to separate business and personal life.
