Miami's heat has nothing on the fire we stoked in our latest audio adventure, where The Global Zoe, Eric Biddines, Drego Mill sit down with West Palm Beach's own 1040. We're not just spinning tales under the sun; we're digging deep into the craft of beat-making and the transformation of an artist. 1040 serves up a hot plate of personal history, recalling the moment he shifted gears from rapper to producer and sharing his first music video experience with Raylo. Our discussion is a tribute to those who hustle behind the scenes, making music that moves the streets and beyond.
When 1040 starts to speak on his beat-making philosophy, it's clear he's cooking up something special. His approach to sharing his best beats, regardless of an artist's fame, is as refreshing as an ocean breeze, and with influences spanning from the SOS Band to Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, it's no wonder his style has that certain je ne sais quoi. We celebrate 1040's ground-breaking placement with NBA Youngboy and explore the connections and community efforts that are as essential to success in the music industry as a catchy hook is to a hit track.
As our session wraps, we shine a spotlight on the socioeconomic contrasts of Palm Beach and the challenges facing its music scene, from the need for more venues to fostering a collective spirit among artists. 1040's roots are firmly planted in this fertile ground and he’s not shy about sharing how to keep up with him and his latest projects. From Instagram to the occasional TikTok scroll, 1040's is tuned in and turned up, ready to elevate Palm Beach's music scene to its rightful place on the world stage.
