Clayton Waller explains how the lack of an indie music scene in his home state ofMississippi pushed him to create music for himself and establish his own sound.
Rock Eupora is Waller's most current project where he controls every aspect of it,
from booking to merch, not to mention producing and personally recording each
instrument on his debut CD, Blanks.
"90% is music first" Waller describes his creative process, "(I'm) big on chord
progression…melodies are big for me, I love something you can dance to…also
something heavy, too."
Waller has been in multiple music projects over the years, evidence of which is
obvious in Rock Eupora's indie rock melodies.
The recent Belmont grad remarks how his transfer to Music City has "definitely
pushed me to get better", also motivating him to stay true and transparent to his
Mississippi roots.
Waller dissects his love/hate relationship with the Nashville music scene, more
specifically, the lack of transparency.
Appreciating the rapper's candor and style, Waller remarks that "Mac Demarco is
transparently himself", adding that while he loves Nashville, he finds too many
artists take themselves too seriously and hinder themselves from fully developing
into their own musical personas.
