Originally from the African country of Mauritius, Immute is an Irish music artist and producer whose energetic sound has been moving audiences for close to nine years. Although primarily in the genre of rap, Immute has a versatile sound with occasional tracks in the genres of dark pop, reggae, EDM and even country. His winning song for April’s Song of the Month, “300!” is a testament to the growth of his sound over the years.
“I would say ‘300!’ represents the amount of time it takes to grind and commit in the music industry,” Immute says. “It shows how far I’ve gotten as an artist so far. Throughout the mix, cadence, lyrics and creativity, all can be shown to compare with the first song I have out on all platforms.”
For many tracks, Immute embraces nerdcore by finding inspiration through various movies, games or series. He makes it known that he is open to any recommendations. When it comes to the inspiration behind “300!”, Immute credits an artist who brought him motivation. “At the time, I binged an artist called Kenneth Wayne. After making a song called ‘Python’, where I mentioned him at the end of the song asking for a feature, I finally got to talk to him,” Immute says, “and that’s the time I got inspired to make ‘300!’.
Although the track was inspired by his personal music taste, to Immute, “300!” signifies individuality. “Each artist is unique,” he says, “and as long as you as an artist know you aren’t trying to copy someone else’s style, it’s what makes you stand out more.”
For Immute, what makes “300!” special is the experimentation involved when creating the track. Instead of sticking to cadences that are typical to the sound, Immute combined cadences more traditionally dedicated to other genres. “Trying to do something new is hard, but I still try,” he says.
When asked about the creative process for “300!”, Immute shares a formula relatable even to those who don’t make music. “If I have to be honest, three shots of coffee and a lot of adrenaline,” he says laughing, “but mostly when I find or make a beat I like, I get a creative rush that’s kind of like adrenaline and it makes my lyricism and energy better on the track.”
“300!” will be available on all streaming platforms this summer, following the release of Immute’s upcoming album, “SINS”, which is set to release on June 28. “Be sure to keep a lookout if you want to hear me go versatile on an album along with other artists,” Immute says.
