What are some of the biggest problems you have encountered in this journey of music? Wow. there are so many things that I’ve encountered in the industry, so I don’t think I can pinpoint one thing.
How did you get the name Mandy Savage? I made it up (lol). You know, I’m a savage kinda girl and its a play on the name Randy Savage, like the old school wrestler (lol).
What is the name of your last album and how did you come up with the name? I’ve technically never released an album, but the last project that I released is called, “The Notorious JAY”. The name came basically because I did a mixtape of remixes to all Notorious BIG songs. I’m working on new music now for my EP and my next mixtape Radio 3.
Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry? I’ve just always loved music and performing and entertaining people. It started from childhood. My parents would always have talent competitions amongst me and my siblings and my cousins, so it just continued from there. The love for performing.
Being a musician, what do you enjoy the most about it? Just creating. That’s definitely the best part. It just feels amazing.
What or who inspires you to write music? Everything inspires me to write. Love, personal
