Interview with Cyrus Smith:

From the outside looking in, who is Cyrus Smith?

I’m a private person. Kid 16, on the other hand, is my other personality. I love to go to the main event, go-karting with my friends, play video games, and watch anime.

What brought you to the entertainment industry, music specifically?

My uncle taught me how to play the piano and introduced me to music. I was having fun at the time but now I’m taking it seriously.

What do you want people to get from your music?

I’m currently working on a tape, an album, and a family album. You will get my tape first along with a couple singles before my album. Working with Keith Sweat is cool he’s a real chill guy. Having a family run business is definitely a go for me. Better than working for someone else who could maybe cheat you out of a couple things.

Tell us about your current project and working with the legendary Keith Sweat and repping the youth on Young Millennium Records

Just listening to other people’s opinions and what they want to hear will make you more success, which is a challenge for some and easy for others.

Tell us a bit about your work and passions OUTSIDE of music…

Outside of music, I like to play basketball and go to places like six flags. I really just play video games and watch anime in my free time.

Last but not least, HYPE wants to know…What’s your CRAZIEST “Where they do that at?!” aka WTF?! moment…

I thought some of those Shiggy Challenges were a bit wild!!!! Where they do that at!!!???
