Interview with NANDO 3

Tell us about yourself, who are you and where do you come from?

My Name Is Brandon R. Ponce I Am From Aguascalientes, Mexico But I Was Raise In Houston, Texas. Thats Where I Am Currently Living And Make Music Under The Name Of “Nando 3”.

As A Kid I Always Been A Big Fan Of Eminem, Spm, And Paul Wall Those Are The 3 Artist Who Made Me Fall In Love With Music And Made Me Wanna Start My Music Career.

What kind of music do you do?

I Do A Mix Of Texas Style HipHop And Rap. But Im Looking Forward On Trying Different Genres An Finding we’re I Belong As A Artist And We’re Will I Get More Knowledge And Craft Skills To Succeed As A Musician.

What is the most important song for you? What message do you want to convey to the listener?

Well My Most Important Song Is A Song Name “LTH” And It Stands For (Letter To Henny). “LTH” Haven’t Been Drop Yet Till Later This Year Due To What I Been Going Through Financially, I Recently Got Backstab By My Own Family Not Too Long Ago, It Was For A Check I Work And Earned By Working For There Company In Which I Was Pushing Pipes And Hurting My Body Everyday In This Hot Texas Heat, If You From Texas You Know Its Smoking Hot Out Here!, And At The End I Learned A Lesson And The Lesson I Had To Learn That Day Was That It Doesn’t Matter If They You’re Family There Are Certain People In This World Who Will Walk In There Devil Shoes Against There Own But Ill Be Back To Dropping Music Some Day Around This Month Or Next We’ll See What Happens. (Letter To Henny) Its A Song I Wrote While Being Locked Up Missing My Love Ones And Not Being Able To Be There For Them. It Was Very Hard And Stressful For Me To Stay Positive In A JailCell With Demons Like Me. U Can Say They Call It “Hell In The Cell” For A Reason And Thats Cause It Is Hell In Earth And Theres No Way Out Of Hell Unless U Turn Urself To The Man Above And Change You’re Evil Ways Into A Positive And Good Way Of Being A Person To Not Only You’re Friends And Family But Yourself, Don’t Let Urself Be Easily Mind Control By The Devil!. The Story Behind My Soon To Be Released Song “LTH” Was That I Was In Jail For A Whole Year After Violating My Probation Waiting For Someone Who Said They Will Never Give Up On Me To Stay And Not Forget About Me And Move On Leaving Me In The Darkest Day Of My Life I Waited And Waited, But Nothing. They Couldn’t Checked Up On Me Or Even Ask If I Needed Anything You Know Is Hard Whenever U Don’t Have No One To Motivate You Through The Day, I Didnt Know If I Ever Was Gonna Make It Home, Or If I Was Just Gonna End Up Signing For Some Prison Time And To Be Honest That Bother Me A-lot, It Was To The Point That I Actually Started Getting Used To Living In Jail Like If It Was The Only Home I knew. But Then Sooner Or Later As I Thought It Couldn’t Get Any Better For Me I Luckily End Up Getting Send To A Jail Program By Judge “Robert Johnson” After A Year And 3 Months I Did 4 1/2 Months More Inside The Program And Then I Ended Up Successfully Completing The Program And Got Reinstated To My Probation By The Judge “Robert Johnson” And My P.O. And Ever Since I Been Working On My Self Physically, Mentally, And Emotionally. My Message To Everyone Out There Is “To Stay Motivated And Positive And Don’t Forget To Always Remember That Theres Always Someone Looking After You Even If U Cant Physically See Or Touch Them… Trust Me There Is A God And He Got Guardians Angels Looking After You Helping You And And Taking Care Of You So You Wont Ever Have To Go Through Something Alone And To Guide You To Always Keep Moving Forward Even If Its Through The Storms Of Evil And The Thoughts Of The Devil Himself.

Why should a listener who doesn’t know you listen to your music?

I Feel Like They Should Listen To My Music For The Simple Fact That Even Though I Use Texas Artists Type Of Beats, Im Different And Have My Own Type Of Flow Unlike A-lot Of Artist Out There Who Just Copy And Paste Someone Else Flow And Thinks They New And Original. Plus I Never Said I Was The Best, Im Just A Young Hispanic Kid With A Big Dream And Thats To One Day Be Heard And Loved By People All Around This World.

What are your future projects? Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?

I Got A Upcoming Ep Called “RESURRECTED” With Production And Management By My Team And Family (TRAPSTAR-RECORDS ENTERTAINMENT) And not Only That Ima Have Some Features From My Upcoming TRAPSTARS STEPPAS -(MalachiSanchez Known As “DrippyFlaco”, And My Young Steppas! BrayanPonce And ChristopherPonce Also Known As Pezo & 0Z3, And Much More) And I See Myself Recording And Dropping More Music And Shooting My Music Videos And My Team Music Videos Under My Own Music Brand And Keep Trying To Help And Promote Myself And My Team So That One Day We All Get To Eat In The Big Boys Tables Next To A-lot Of This Artists Who Are Blowing Up And Dropping Good Music For Us To Turn Up To. “They Say, The Sky Is The Limit But Ever Since I Was A Kid I Always Wanted To Be A Astronaut And Go Further Down Passing The Sky, Till I Reach The Stars And Prove That There Was More Then Just A Sky And Its Limit”- NANDO3
