It is a blessing when remarkable persons that we admire make time to speak with us. Those shared interviews are reflections of us both, that’s why it’s imperative that what we ask matters.

Two of those persons we were blessed to speak with were Hip Hop artists El Da Sensei and Sixman!

We spoke with them both ahead of their “The Reset Tour” stop at The Pyramid Scheme in Grand Rapids, MI. During our conversation we asked them this GOOD QUESTION: Why is it important for audience engagement to start before they enter the venue?

They answered, “Whether online or in person, you want these people to know what they’re about to get into. We want them to expect the most and nothing lesser.

As an artist you want them to have the feeling of excitement before they even buy the tickets. They know it’s going to be explosions. It’s like going to see ‘John Wick’. You know what you’re getting just from the rumors and trailers. You know what’s coming. Kill, kill, kill. That is us on stage.” – El Da Sensei

“It’s always important for audience engagement. I always want my community of Grand Rapids to feel special anytime I come to town and personally do things. I like to bring events home that make us all feel a part of the culture.” – Sixman |THIS ENT
