"Exclusive Q and A: Lokixximo Talks About Challenges, Hard Work, And Sebastian Krys"

Seven years of hard work has taken Latin urban artist Lokixximo to a whole new level of stardom and all over the map—from The Bronx to The Dominican Republic to Los Angeles. After catching his big break in the Tr3s Dame Un Break Competition, OurStage artist Lokixximo has nowhere to go but up. He was awarded the opportunity to record with four-time GRAMMY-winning producer Sebastian Krys, along with professional direction and production of a music video for his club single, “Noches Europea”. We caught up with him after the whole experience to see how things went, and to find out where he’ll be going next.

OS: Your music career started over seven years ago, how would you say you’ve developed as an artist since you first began making music?

L: Well I started when I was 13 years old. You know, doing shows and stuff like that, I think it was 2005. That’s when I really branched out and started doing songs and stuff like that. It takes years, you know, to come up with your own style.

OS: What’s one of the biggest challenges you’ve had to face so far in your career?

L: The biggest challenge for me really is just trying to get my music to the fans. If you’re working alone, and you don’t have a label or anything, it’s really hard, trying to work and trying to make money in your career. That’s always been a big challenge. But to tell you the truth that’s really like, the fun part of it—the struggle, the process… It’s a challenge, you know? Not everyone is willing to do that, to spend their money on their own talent… That’s where it really comes. The ones who really believe in themselves are the ones who go far.

OS: You used to work in a duo group with Jose Josexx until you ultimately parted ways. What are some of the challenges and advantages about being a solo act now?

L: It’s different [on stage], like doing shows; it’s a little bit more, I wouldn’t say difficult… Before you’ve got the backup, and you can go back and forth and you can just share the same energy on stage… Being alone, you’ve gotta’ do everything. You’ve gotta’ really get with the fans, and perform. You know, it’s a big challenge, being solo… You’re the main artist, people want to see what you do, how you carry yourself. It’s really hard, but it is what it is. That’s the thing that I love about music; it’s a challenge. It’s something that I really love to do every day… That’s the passion you’ve gotta have for something that you love.

OS: You’ve had somewhat of an underground status in America for a lot of your career. How do you think that winning this competition has helped you to move up in the music industry and will help you to be heard by more people?

L: Well, I think this contest is the most incredible thing that’s happened to me. I’ve been doing things in New York City, doing shows in like, the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, just [playing] locally, for the crowd and stuff like that. People who already know me are like, “Oh, Lokixximo, he’s doing his thing, he’s doing his thing…” Those are the same people that…when you go to a big network and you come out… those are the people that are really happy for you… It’s really nice, it feels good. Now I go places and people go, “Wow, man, you’re doing it big, I’m really happy for you.” Those are the same people that used to know me when I wasn’t really popular, when I was still working hard for it. It’s definitely work, like, this stuff like MTV, and the whole concert thing, this stuff is real…

OS: After winning the competition, you had the opportunity to work with Sebastian Krys, a four-time GRAMMY winning producer who has worked with artists like Shakira, Will Smith, The Black Eyed Peas, and Ricky Martin. What was it like to spend some time in the studio with such an iconic figure in the industry?

L: It’s just another level, it’s amazing. That guy’s a genius. He does things that, like, I don’t think anyone can just do. He already had a vision of how the song was gonna’ be. He just told me like, “Listen, we’re gonna’ do this, we’re gonna’ do that, we’re gonna’ add this guitar…” Once he does his own thing he comes up with the final product and you hear it, and you’re just like, “Wow, man.” I didn’t even know it was gonna be this crazy… He’s really quiet, but you know he’s thinking about something major and he’s trying to put the song together. He’s like, “Write whatever you want to write, change whatever you want to change, but we’re gonna’ do this together.” So we really did the whole song together, changing stuff about it, and it came out crazy, it came out amazing. And I’m really happy, man. This stuff has just made me, I could say I’m like a whole different artist now, just seeing the way that he works… And you know, you get points for that, when you really know the stuff that you’re doing. I really think that I learned a lot from him.

OS: You also got to work on a music video. What was the process for filming, and what can we expect in the video?

"Tr3s Exclusive: Lokixximo Wins Dame Un Break Competition"

By Ikam Acosta

New York Latin urban musician Lokixximo finally caught a break after two months of suspenseful competition. He has been awarded the Tr3s Dame Un Break Grand Prize with his song ‘Noche Europea,’ featuring DJ Mesta, which beat out over 200 other talented Latin artists with its unique beats.



Lokixximo was around music from a very young age. His mother got him interested in music by playing her records, and it just became his passion. As far as how he got the idea of getting on Dame Un Break, it was quite the coincidence. He said,

“I just came home from work and my sister was watching TV. I saw it on a commercial and that’s something I really wanted to do, so I started the whole process. After that, I got an email a couple of weeks later saying I was doing real good. So I started doing the whole promotion thing, you know, stuff like that.”

I asked Lokixximo if he ever envisioned his big break to be like this. He said,

“Oh no, never, man. It just came out of nowhere. You never think MTV’s gonna be your break, this is on the next level. I wasn’t expecting it to be this big, it was amazing.”

I asked Lokixximo about his musical inspirations, and he said,

“I listen to rap and hip hop, merengue, so depending on my mood, my music will have that type of influence.”

In case you’re wondering, Lokixximo got his name back in school, when he would do rap battles.

“I always used to say a lot of crazy things when I used to rap. I’d go crazy when I rapped, talking about different things.”

As far as the idea for the winning song goes, Lokixximo wanted something original with fresh beats. He got together with his buddy DJ Mesta and made it happen. Now, he will be on his way to LA to complete the song with a professional video shoot. Commenting on the song’s popularity, he said,

“People started loving the song, DJs love it, and that’s what it’s all about. As soon as the video is done, I’m gonna start pushing it. The song has a lot of potential, major potential. I think with the right label, this song could be a number one hit, something like that.”

He added,

“I also got a studio day with Sebastian Krys. That day was amazing. He came out with a different sound for the song, he had a whole different vision for it. Once we had the final product, it was something amazing, like out of this world. The original song, fans loved it and DJs loved it, but after Sebastian got done with it, it’s on a totally different level. So when this song hits the air, I know people are gonna go crazy, so I’m definitely looking forward to it.”

Lokixximo will now head to Los Angeles to film a music video with a professional producer, receive $2,500 cash, along with a one-day studio recording session with a Grammy-winning producer. Not a bad way to make a name for yourself after starting off in the underground Latin scene.

Lokixximo had some final words for his fans,

“Everything I do is for the fans. Every record, every live show is for the fans. They definitely are what got me here this far. Without them, I’d really be nobody. The only thing i can say is thank you and that I love them. We’re gonna keep moving, we’re gonna go forward with this, we’re gonna go far.”

Congratulations, Lokixximo, for winning Dame Un Break. Best of luck to you on your next big adventure! - MTV TR3's Blogamole
