First off my name is Dan Moore aka BLACNASHON ,im from Chicago IL.. My craft is making music.
2. Now Blac Nashon, thats a dope production name, can you explain the meaning behind it? and how the name came about?
Lol now that name I did some heavy thought.. I wanted it to be unique.. Something nobody used before.(Blac) stands for im proud to be black but I wanted that spelling .. (Nashon) stands for unity for black people... So that's how I got the name BLACNASHON
3.What is you earliest recollection of music that you can remember?
I remember my cousin let me listen to some real hip hop like mobb deep. Wu tang clan.. Tribe called Quest.. Krs one.. Pete rock. This was when I was in 6th grade. I grew up in this stuff. Mad memories!!
4.Who were some of your earlier influences when you started production?
on the real my guys made music on the Xbox.. Playstation.. To the mpc and Roland.. Loved how they chopped up music and lay them over drums.. junk was mad crazy when I seen it action.. Junk had me mad inspired. It was on after that.
5.Who are some of your current influences as of today?

When my guys made music cooking up music in the crib just Vibing out.
10.Now You're from Chicago, what is the local scene like there?
It's city life.. Fast pace as well. It's real live here.. Reminds me of the city Detroit. It's lots to get into. Such as networking etc.
11.Does the local scene affect what and how you create your music?
Not not really. I go based off what sample I hear.
12. What is your creative process like in the lab? Not to show any sector seven stuff lol
Man its one of two ways I start my process .. I usually start with my drums., snare, hi hats, etc to give me a feel.. Now that's first and foremost lol and second ill pick and choose a sample that best fits over the drums I just laid.. I can go through 10 samples until I find that right sample to lay over my drums.. Im very picky.. I want it to sound right.. At least in my mind it do lol.. And last ill lay a bass line if needed.. Thats my process in a nutshell.. Its simple and easy.. Nothing complicated
