- What type of music do you produce?
 I mainly produce hip hop tracks but sometimes I like to venture out into other genres

- Who are your greatest musical influences of all time?
 Dj quik is one of my favorite musicians. I admire the fact that he doesn’t just do one thing. He engineers everything himself and usually plays all the instruments that you hear in his songs.

- At what age did you begin making beats?I have been writing and rapping since I was 8 and producing fod about 5 years now. I started when I was 14

 
- What artists have you produced music for?Right now I mainly produce for local artist trying to develop a buzz

 
- What producers have impacted you? Again, Dj quik is at the top of my list just because he takes the word producer to another level. Dr.dre is another one of my favorite producers because he is a perfectionist and a true master of the craft. 

 
- Where do you plan to take your music making talents? I plan to grow old in the music industry be that go to guy

 
- Any advice for up and coming producers like yourself?My best advice would be to never stop working on perfecting your skill. Its always possible to delve deeper and learn more about what your doing. If you’re really serious then you nees to make music more than just a hobby. If you only tend to make music when you have free time I can guarantee there’s somebody out there that doesn’t have any free time due to the fact that there making music.

 
- Where can we find your beats?You can find my music online at soundcloud.com/nicomalone
Soundclick.com/nicomalone
Youtube.com/thenicomalone

 
- Are you currently with a label?I am not currently signed to a label. However, I’m reading and learning on the subject of starting my own label.

 
- How did you become apart of AGNB?A friend of mine called me early in the morning and handed the phone to Chardae who said she was looking for some producers. Within an hour I had sent in some tracks, and it was a done deal from there.

 
- What challenges do you face as a producer? A big challenge I am faced with is keeping the music relevant and fresh at the same time. Everybody is looking for a radio single, but the radio is really house and techno induced, so I’m trying to make people move while at the same time bring new and original material.
