In his recent interview on Vigilantes Radio Live, broadcast on iHeart Radio, rising star True Renzzo gave fans an inside look at his creative journey, his inspirations, and the story behind his highly anticipated single, “Radio.”
Known for his genre-blending style, Renzzo combines hip-hop and house beats with emotional storytelling, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and refreshingly modern.
Humble Beginnings and Big Dreams
Renzzo shared his backstory, painting a picture of a small-town kid from the Midwest, raised by a single mom alongside four brothers. With his father absent, Renzzo credited his grandfather as a major influence in his life. “Music wasn’t just an escape—it was something I’ve loved since I was young,” he explained.
As a child, Renzzo was glued to MTV, always with earphones in, soaking in the sounds of the MP3 and iPod era. “That was the age of real music,” he said, recalling his early days as a fan of artists who would later inspire him.
Inspired by Legends
When it comes to musical influences, Renzzo acknowledges Lil Wayne as one of the greatest artists of all time. However, when reflecting on his favorite albums, Jay Z and Eminem come to the forefront. He points to “The Carter IV” and “The Carter III” as pivotal in shaping his appreciation for storytelling and wordplay, alongside Eminem’s “Curtain Call” and “Recovery” for their raw emotional depth and themes of resilience. These albums, he explained, remain foundational in his personal playlist and have played a significant role in shaping his own artistic voice.
The Making of ‘Radio’
At the center of the interview was “Radio,” Renzzo’s latest single, which he described as an energetic track designed to move people and create unforgettable moments. “I always start with a vision of how I want the listeners to feel,” then goes on to explain how he wants his music to take people back to a moment of complete bliss and make them feel that same energy again.
Renzzo emphasized his passion for live performances, explaining that concerts and music should serve as a getaway for fans. He goes on to break down how everyone needs that moment to blow off steam and when it comes to shows, that’s what he wants his music and shows to provide—an escape where you can just have fun and simply feel alive.
Adapting to a Changing Industry
Renzzo reflected on the evolution of the music industry, noting how social media and digital platforms are reshaping the way artists connect with fans. “Back then, access to artists was different. Now, everything’s digital, and who knows where it’ll be in five to ten years? Maybe we’ll be watching concerts on our phones,” he said.
Despite these changes, Renzzo remains committed to creating authentic, high-energy experiences for his audience. His upcoming album, Black Lotus, promises to deliver just that—a collection of tracks packed with energy, emotion, and nostalgia.
