It doesn't matter where I am, I hear melody
and see melody in everything and I try my
best to use my life experiences to put that
into my music.
All the sounds I create come from physical
or natural elements.
So they are already in the purest form.
It's just a matter of clever arrangement after
that 'cause I truly believe there is
no wrong way to make music.
[TRAIN PASSING]
I lay the beat down first.
The best is always first.
I need to feel a vibe, and then I will lay
melody on top and then from the melody, the
vibe of the music and all that.
I'll write lyrics to it that speak to me.
[RHYTHMIC BREATHING]
Right, so we got this, sounds nasty!
Sounds nasty!
It can take 10 minutes or a week.
[TAPPING ON BOTTLE]
If anyone has battled a fear before, they
know how difficult it is to get over.
After facing the most vicious of demons in
my life, I found this new self-belief and
power that I didn't know I had.
It literally saved my life.
Sickick is a relatable character
because everybody faces a fear.
Fear itself can be conquered if you
have the right mentality, and so anybody who's
following Sickick can actually see that this
is somebody who's constantly facing fears
or is doing something that is challenging himself.
My entire goal in life is to create
a movement of people that are completely
fearless and don't - are not afraid of success
and becoming the best they can possibly be.
Command over your social media 
is everything now.
I did this video, I released it on social media.
It blew up.
I recorded me singing an audio on one phone,
I let go and started looping and then I recorded
a harmony on this other phone, let go and
started looping.
And if you know anything about Snapchat, when
you bring your fingers down on the screen,
it cuts off the audio.
So I used that as a chopping mechanism.
My dream as Sickick has always been to look
out into a crowd of a 100,000 people, all
of them are wearing Sickick masks and they
all have their hands up in the air and they've
all forgotten about their life's problems.
I knew a show had to take place that would
be an annual show that would build and grow
as the years came.
That's happening right now.
The fact that I had the chance to open up
for a talented artist like Drake
is very rare to say after only a few years
 of dedicated work.
It was my first time performing in front of
a huge mainstream crowd.
I knew from the way that I looked, most of
them would be, like, "What is this?"
They wouldn't understand me right away.
[CROWD SCREAMING]
ALYSSA: He came onto the stage and the
entire crowd had no idea what they were getting
themselves into, this guy with a mask.
Most artists, when they come out,
they'll just start off the mic singing or
they'll do that, but he actually went ahead
and did something completely different.
I took the mic that was on stage and I placed
it in front of the speaker to create feedback
and even the sound guy was, like, "What the
f**k are you doing right now?"
ALYSSA: All of sudden, he started playing
a beat and then he started layering that music...
...and then the beat dropped.
The crowd lost their minds and it went from,
like, "Who the f**k is this?" to "Who the
f*****k is this?!"
I got over fear and that became a huge building
block in my life.
Then I was able to put something else on top
of that and before I knew it, I had this tower
of personality and confidence and just fearlessness,
this whole tower that represented who I am.
That, to me, is my life and I can't wait to
see where it goes.
Whose music deserves to be shared with the
world?
