EDITOR’S NOTE Welcome to the launch issue of Fazed magazine by Fazed Media. Although we try out best to stay up to date with new music releases, it is a struggle as new music is being produced and presented every day. So we have given up and want to provide people with the opportunity to create their own music. In this magazine you will find interviews ranging from beginners in the music industry to well known grime artists such as JME. Right at the back of the magazine you will find a stepby-step process on how to create and produce your own music. Soundcloud is a popular platform for sharing music on. However later on this year Fazed Media will be launching their own platform so that all of you can share your creations. This platform will also double up as a social media site for you talented people only. Your creations are endless! Reanne Scott

exclusive interview with Kieron ‘Noreik’ Dickson
Reanne: “I understand that you’re a busy guy, so I’ll jump straight to the question that has been bugging me for ages. Do you prefer originality over conformity, even if it won’t make you as much money?” Noreik: “Ha-ha that’s true, I’d have to say originality because it’s unique. Conformity is the norm but personally I find it boring.”
Noreik: “Not really. Only when a track becomes frustrating I’d leave it for a day.” Reanne: “Do you plan on developing this hobby into a career?” Noreik: “Nope.” Reanne: “What genre do you think you’d fall under?”
Reanne: “What is your favourite track that you have produced?” Noreik: “A hip hop track where I sampled an old jazz track and reversed it. Didn’t expect to flip the sample like that.” Reanne: “Do you believe in music? Therapy?”
Reanne: “Do you ever get bored of making music?”
Noreik: “I couldn’t label myself under a genre yet. Don’t think I ever will because I make such a variety of music with influences from different genres.”
“It made me think about ------what I could create”
Noreik: “Yeah for certain genres though, this can depend on your own Music taste.”
Reanne: “Where do you see yourself in a years time (music wise)?” Noreik: “Still creating it as a hobby”
Reanne: “If you could create a genre, what would the title be?”
Reanne: “What motivated you to start creating music?”
Noreik: “Dark UK Hip-Hop”
Interviewee: “My friends started creating music first. I was intrigued and it made me think about what I can create.” Reanne: “What is your preferred platform to share music on?” Noreik: “At the moment I share my music on Soundcloud because it is simple to use and a lot of people use it. If I became more serious I would use Bandcamp so I could charge people small amounts.
