• In this episode, we talk about:

• How he came up with his name. He says it was a way for him to stay away from the negativity.

• He talked about how Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole are some of his favourite musicians.

• I asked him: ‘Do you like Kendrick Lamar because you’re young?’

• You should listen to the podcast to hear HiiTay’s answer, but in the process of answering, he said that he had just turned thirty.

• How did HiiTay get into music?

• His grandmother and uncle pushed him into playing the piano, he says, and when it came to what’s the best song he’s created, he mentioned ‘Beautiful Suicide’, which makes me think: I should look up ‘Beautiful Suicide’ on Spotify, or wherever I can get it, and give it a listen.

• I also did something amazing, hey, on this podcast: I played his song ‘What I Need’. And what’s even more amazing is that I asked him how he felt me playing his song.

• Oh, God! You should listen to this podcast! ‘Cause, look… he talked about who produced the song… a song he made for his girlfriend.

• ‘I’m not the kind of person who cries over things,’ he said on the podcast.

• Then – come along, reader – we talked about how he’ll be going to Connecticut next week and how in 2023, he’ll be part of the New York Fashion Week.

• I also asked him about the state of the music scene in the United States. He said there was a lot of talent, about the only challenges (or challenges) being gatekeepers.

• At the end of the podcast, HiiTay had a message for you, the reader of this awesome website.
