Socal Barbieee’s “Breakthrough” Hits no. 21 on the iTunes Charts

It's an honor to speak with you Socal Barbieee. You recently hit the USA iTunes Hip-Hop/Rap Albums Chart at number 21 with your hit album " Breakthrough,” Why don't you give us some details about you and your success. How did you get to where you are today?

"Well, I was in a female group for a year before we broke up. I decided to continue and pursue my career as a solo artist and I released my first single "unleashed" along with the video, which had over 20K views. I think that's one of my biggest successes so far in this music industry. This motivated me and gave me confidence to put my music together. "The breakthrough" shows how creative I am as a solo artist today".


I'm sure your success has not come easily. What challenges have you had to overcome along the way?

"I've had to look out for a lot of scammers in the music industry. Getting into the music industry can be complicated at first because I had to learn not everyone is out for your best interest. I've also experienced transphobia in the hip hop culture, which can be complicating getting projects done. I’m happy I never let this stop me, because now I am running into the right people who want to work and make music".


Speaking of success, what does the word mean to you?

"Success to me is accomplished goals, and just doing what you want to do and making it happen. Success will always come".


Let's talk about the work you do. What do you specialize in and why should someone work with you over the competition?

"I'm a natural born entertainer. I write, I dance. I love creating vision to my music. I would even like to collaborate with other artists. I’m an artist that will break boundaries and barriers in my music. I’m a unique rap artist who wants to perform, connect, and keep making music for my fans".


What are your goals in the music industry? What's next for you?

"I want to perform on bigger shows and platforms in this industry. I have so many projects coming up, including the latest release of my album "The Breakthrough". What's next for me are interviews, and reaching out to radio shows for promotions, plus paid shows and guest appearances. I love this music industry. I won’t let up".
