MarriDon caught up with Flaunt to talk about his journey thus far, and the road he took to get his first banger, “Boom Fiesta,” made.
**How old were you when you were first introduced to music?** I was about 4 years old when I noticed my family playing music around me, old harmony and old town reggae music. Then as I got older, I listened to a lot of Usher and Mario. Overall, a lot was of ladies' man type of music. It helped me become more musically attuned and permanently submerged in it... the piece ended up being where I needed to be.
**Where did you get the name, “Boom Fiesta”?**
I see “Boom Fiesta” like the name itself: it’s the biggest booming song to take over the world. From now to next year to the year after that, I’m 100% confident this song will transcend ages. I originally got my melody for “Boom Fiesta” from Elephant Man’s original riddim, “Jamaica Jamaica” the song. My song is a banger with a wavy vibe that you can chill with a lady or meditate.
**On “Boom Fiesta,” you’re singing the hook correct?**
Yeah, that’s me singing. Generally speaking, I wouldn’t say I like the labels they give artists. I see myself more as an expression than a rapper or a singer. I’m also trying to make this a relative idea in the music community. Me singing is more of me being myself than anything else, I’m more comfortable singing than rapping.
**Do you write your lyrics? Does writing your songs help you in any way?**
Yessir, that’s all me. Touching back on being an expressor, I enjoy freestyling more than writing. Music in general brings joy and love to my family and me. It brings peace because it’s a significant source of finance for my life. Creating has helped me with family losses, and I feel that those same people still hear me. My music transcends to the heavens because I’m chilling and not going crazy making fake music, I am as for real as can be.
**What is the most significant and current influence on your music?**
My primary influence is my audience's ability to make music a sort of hood therapy for everyone going through it. As long as I can uplift my listeners' spirit, mind, and energy at all times, then I'm personally feeling better in general too.
**Why should someone that doesn’t know you tune into MarriDon?**
You guys need to know me because I'm going to be remembered, my lifestyle should be Televised and everybody will enjoy everything I got going on. People will dance and get lit to “Boom Fiesta” everywhere: hospital, airplane, it doesn’t matter. You don’t want to be the person missing out.
