Written by A3C Talent | Aug 19
Artist Name
Mi$tro

Where are you from?
Caroline, VA

How has your city and influenced your music?
My city influenced my music a lot; I'm a product of my environment. I come from a city where both sides are divided & everybody in the city trying to make it out. I use my music to motivate & inspire.

What song, video or project are you most proud of to date?
The song I'm the most proud of is "Bandz". That's the song that really caught national attention. Anywhere I go somebody quoting the lyrics to me and when I perform it, the energy is crazy. I didn't expect that record to take off the way it did.

What do you enjoy about bout being a hip-hop artist?
I enjoy the art. The fact that I can express myself musically, put the music out, and then attract people across the world that relate to how I was feeling. The fans keep me going. I try my best to always respond back to them when they show love.

What can people expect from you over the next 6 months?
You can expect a lot of Mi$tro. I've been working on a plan for about three years and now it's time to execute. Pay attention to what's about to happen.

What advice would you give to yourself a few years ago?
I would've told myself to stay patient. I used to rush a lot and get frustrated if things didn't work out. Now that I've learned patient, my career has gotten a lot bigger, way faster.

What do you most look forward to about A3C Festival & Conference?
I look forward to meeting new tastemakers and interacting with my fans . In 2014, I went to A3C with no shows. I went just to meet people. The same people I went last year, help me with my career now.

With the festival quickly approaching, Mi$tro and A3C team up for new record "The Underdog Story"
