While discussing the impact of influencers on his music, Spyro recounted the hurdles he faced when seeking assistance from various influential figures before the release of “Who’s Your Guy.”
Despite facing rejection from some quarters, Spyro highlighted Craze Clown’s unique contribution. He shared that Craze Clown not only liked his song but also provided free promotion across various social media platforms, inadvertently leading people to believe it was Craze Clown’s creation.
The interview sheds light on the challenges emerging artists like Spyro encounter in the music industry, emphasizing the importance of unexpected support from influential figures like Craze Clown in shaping their success.
He said,
“While I was performing I saw Craze Clown vibing to my song, after performing I met with him and we exchanged contact, so we decided to meet up I went to his house for one reason or the other, he kept listening to the song continuously. Before you know it he started creating TikTok videos back to back with the sound.”
“He was aggressive with posting to the point that he was making videos more than me and at some point people thought it was Craze Clown’s song, he didn’t charge a dime to promote my song. I’ll go to his house he will still serve me food.
“All the influencers I constituted a nuisance to, for them to help me, but the help didn’t come from there, I literally knelt for an influencer in front of foodies one day, and I’ll never forget and he still didn’t help me.”
