Its been a while since I posted on my blog - but I am back!
I wanted to create a new series of interviews where I introduce to you new artists, artists you may have never heard of before and give you something fresh and interesting to listen to and read. I love music from all parts of the world and hope you enjoy this new series on my blog.
Recently, I interviewed Indiana's Breon Jones aka "Flostorm". You can check out his music on Soundcloud right here: https://soundcloud.com/flostorm

Hi Breon! Could you tell us a little bit about yourself – where you are from and when you first discovered your passion for music?
I am from Gary, Indiana. I was raised mainly by a single mother. Very strong woman, making the best out of a tough situation. Never had to question the next meal. I discovered my passion for music in the eighth grade after a poetry assignment was given. I began with poetry and then it just evolved from there.
Musically, where do you draw your inspiration from when coming up with ideas and writing your lyrics?
I draw my inspiration from the MCs of the 80's and more currently artist like Lupe Fiasco. I have a goal to make every bar count to get my point across, and artist like Rakim, Biggie, Nas, Common, and many others along that mold, that demonstrate that hip hop is a skill, not a gimmick.
Where did the name “Flostorm” originate from?
The name FloStorm was actually what I titled the poem from the poetry assignment.
To anyone who hasn’t heard of you or listened to any of your tracks – describe what “Flostorm” music sounds like?
I would describe my sound as catchy intellect. It's smart lyrics with addictive cadences that make ya head bounce.
I’m from New Zealand and discovered you through Phat Kamp Entertainment NZ – when I first listened to your music on Soundcloud there was something almost refreshing sounding about it. I was really impressed, you have great flow and vocals – what is the ultimate goal for you musically?
My ultimate goal musically is to be able to eat from my passion. I also wanna be recognized among the greats as one of the best who ever graced the mic. Doesn't necessarily have to translate into mainstream success, but the respect is a big thing for me.
Thank you so much for taking time out to have a chat about your music, I look forward to seeing what the future holds for you. Keep doing what you’re doing!
