Who is Cubby?
I wish I knew lol I think mostly an artist, producer, dj and barista.
Where is Cubby from?
I am from the suburbs of south Jersey mainly but was born in Baltimore and currently live in Philly.
What is Cubby’s community?
Right now it’s whoever is around me! Unless you’re a weirdo! But honestly I have gotten to know a lot of people in my neighborhood through being a barista and between my bosses, coworkers and regulars, I feel truly supported and cared for, which is what community Is all about! I also have a band with my best friends who are just as if not more obsessed with music as I am which is awesome.
How does your work reflect who you are and where you're from?
I think my work has a direct correlation with how I cope with different emotions. I have learned to utilize periods of mania to make art which usually is a very emotional experience. I’m realizing these emotions create different projects a lot of the time which used to really bother me but instead of fighting that I’ve learned to embrace it as who I am! So my sound is pretty varied depending on the season I’m in mentally.
Location wise being basically from Philly, Jersey and Baltimore, I’d say club music has a massive influence on me and is at the core of what I produce. I feel almost obligated because of being here but it’s truly out of respect for the history and culture. It’s a blessing living in the birthplace of one of my favorite genres and I hope one day to be considered a part of its growth and history.
