Ease The Don, Living Life To The Fullest

Jackson
Let’s begin with you telling me three things about yourself that the public doesn’t know?

Ease The Don
Let’s see. Most people may not know that I’m a father. I have a son and a daughter, so the best of both worlds. I’m a businessman. I have three LLCs. I’m working around the clock. I’m a huge basketball fan. My favorite player is Damian Lillard. He moves like the underdog, and that’s what I love about him. He represents the same realm I’m in, the “underrated.” That’s the name of one of my companies.

How did your taste for music arise? Any family influences?

Ease The Don
I was inspired by a lot of music that my dad played. My dad constantly playing music inspired me. Music was like an everyday soundtrack to my life. When I woke up; there was music playing in the house. Throughout the day, there was music playing. I found myself taking ownership of the melodic sounds. If you listen to my music, it is melodic, and that’s where that pulls from.

Jackson
Your single “Alive for It.” What’s the inspiration behind it?

Ease The Don
The inspiration behind that was the things that were happening around the world at the time when I wrote it. I’m from L.A. We lost Nipsey Hussle and Kobe. Dealing with Covid-19, all the restrictions, and wearing masks. People were losing their lives. I know people personally who lost their lives to covid. I point to those losses that we experienced in recent times. The song was me counting my blessings. I’m just happy and thankful I’m blessed to be alive to see all of this.

Jackson
You create the type of music that feels free, relatable, and fun. How would you describe your style of music?

Ease The Don
A vibe for people to have a good time, and you can relate to it with everyday situations. The good and bad times.

How do you balance your business and your personal life?

Ease The Don
That is a question! It’s really one day at a time. That’s the approach. There’s really no secret to it. I like to have goals set. Every day I keep track of everything that I’m doing. For me, it’s more so like checking the box. That’s kind of how I treat my life.

Jackson
What has been your greatest self-discovery so far?

Ease The Don
My greatest self-discovery would have to be that there are deeper layers within me that I didn’t
even know where there. Meaning that I would think I could only do so much, and then I realized I could do more. Whenever you think you’re at your capacity, you most likely have more to give. So I just found out that I could dig deeper and that I could go further.
