Revolver - 'The Return' EP

After featuring on the smash hit song ‘Gangster’ which has accumulated over 15,000 Youtube views, filming and editing his own music video ‘Murder’ as well as releasing his début EP ‘The Return’, it’s safe to say Revolver will be making a lot of noise in the music scene this year. He is a musician from North London who 'loves making music' and has collaborated with the likes of Scrufizzer, RIO, Warlock, Shifty & Wariko. I thought I’d catch up with him to find out where it all started.

'I don't need to set my alarm because my phone will 100% ring in the morning. I'll open the laptop flick through instrumentals to I find the wave I'm on that day, open Final Cut Pro and start getting busy.' This the start to a typical day in the life of Revolver the triple threat who 'makes music, edits videos and engineers' occasionally. His day usually ends with a new track ready to be recorded in studio, so it’s obvious to see he’s definitely putting 100% into his music.

Speaking on behalf of his collective, he explains how his career started. 'We use to do a lot of things and we were in to music, so we would put the things we did into lyrics and record tracks not knowing we actually had a talent. At the time, we had a producer called Brizzo Da Warlord who would make instrumentals for us and let us record at his house on Acid pro' - a music programme he says 'Real musicians will know about' - his persistence and versatility landed him in a crew called 'Cold Blooded' and he's been with them ever since. He's not an artist who 'waters down music', he is 'creative', writes his own lyrics and brings his music to life.

I've been told by artists in the past, that they themselves are the route to their motivation, which is true in Revolver's case as he loves the things he creates. However he is also motivated by 'the end product' of his work, 'responses from the fans' - good and bad - and most importantly his love for 'making music'. Although he doesn't have a favourite artists, he 'appreciates good music and what someone stand for' by listening to everyone.

In a fickle industry such as music he feels the scene 'lacks team work and professionalism', he dislikes 'the support from people in the industry and the attitudes some people have' but he likes 'how creative some people can be, the good ideas people come up with for videos' and the fact that musician can control their own scenes.

Although he is 'known as Revolver or RV', both are the same person. According to him ‘if the track has Revolver on it, it's going to be a Dark one' which is what he replied when I asked in what way does he differ from his alias

You can expect 'A lot of good music and quality videos' from Revolver in the future.
