Interview with Txtsu by KrushClubTV

KrushClubTV: What is your artist name and what’s the meaning/origin behind it?

Txtsu: So my artist name is "txtsu". I got this name because back when I was 15, I was sent to a bunch of troubled teens and rehab programs. While I was there, the only entertainment we had was TV, so I got super into anime. I was intrigued with the stories, so I figured I’d try to write my own kind of comic thing while I was there. My main character’s name was "tetsu" and I took that name and replaced the 'e' with an 'x' for my artist name

KrushClubTV: What inspired you to make music? Is there anyone (underground/mainstream) who contributed to this?

Txtsu: Definitely. While I was away from home at one of the programs, I would sneak onto YouTube on the school computers and I discovered Biteki Collective, which is basically a bunch of sad artists that I could really relate to at the time. The biggest one definitely being Trencher Boy

KrushClubTV: What is your favorite thing about making music?

Txtsu: I do love the feeling of accomplishment I get after creating a song, but more than anything, I love making new connections and interacting with so many new people and fans

KrushClubTV: What kind of struggles, for you personally, come with making music? How do you overcome that?

Txtsu: Something I’ve noticed is I get burned out and overwhelmed quickly. So, whenever I’m starting to feel that way, I tend to completely take a break from all things music and I’ll go out for a few nights to kind of recoup

KrushClubTV: Who are some artists you’d like to work with in the future?

Txtsu: Honestly, I’ve collabed with almost everyone I’ve wanted to at this point. I think I’ll be taking a break from collabs because I want to build a name for myself rather than doing it through other people and their fanbases. I’ll definitely do features for other people who want me on their song though!

KrushClubTV: Which song or collab of yours was the most challenging for you to complete? Which was the most exciting?

Txtsu: The most challenging collab for me to complete was probably "i cnt save you." It’s super different from my normal sound and I had some trouble with the beat. I think I was most excited for "TONIGHT" with Rukasu and D3r, just because at the time D3r wasn’t collabing with many underground people and he’s someone in the community I’m genuinely a fan of
