Getting Musically educated with Astryd Brown

Astryd Brown is a singer, songwriter and recording artist from Eldorado Park, Soweto.

Kicking off the interview with one of her songs titled Four feat Yung Swiss she explains the song is really a club anthem, to turn up to and have fun too. The song is just basically saying why should you have one when you can have four,  all about having fun and breaking all boundaries.

Astryd was introduced to music at a really young age, just being at home with family listening to music which inspired her to sing from then. In High School she took her music more serious, where she learnt a lot from her friend who was a vocalist. They initially started making music together, started singing in malls and basically busking anywhere.

She has big musical influences namely from her childhood Aaliyah, Mariah Carey and Destiny's Child and for the new school influences it would be Tinashe, Beyonce and so many more but mainly RnB has inspired her to pursue music.

her music career blossomed after Yung Swiss's EP was released in the end of 2016. she was featured on 2 songs of his EP. One song titled "Addicted" was really really big she explains this is how she entered into the Hip Hop scene.And the Hip Hop scene recognized her for being on Yung Swiss's EP. She then dropped a song with Rouge the Rapper and people started noticing who this female is with this voice. Since "Four" was dropped, a bigger market has noticed Astryd.


Astryd biggest challenge as a song writer,  is having writers/artist block, where nothing comes to mind. and second to the biggest challenge is being un-inspired to do music. Astryd explans the main source of income for artists are gigs and performances,since her main focus is just making music, 100% music.
