Steven Malcolm – Fired Up

CCM: Why did you decide to self-title this project?
SM: It gives the fans what Steven Malcolm is about musically. I want the name to stick and the brand to pop because I plan on making my mark in Christian hip hop. Plus, people always spell Malcolm wrong, so hopefully this will help.

CCM: What do you hope to bring to Christian hip-hop that either hasn’t been done before or is your own creative stamp?
SM: Bringing someone who loves the genre. Christian hip hop changed my life, so it’s an honor to be on the front line. I feel I bring a hunger to grow the genre, to show the world God can use any and everything for His glory and change lives with it.

CCM: How do you feel like your material will fit with those who listen to mainstream artists?
SM: There really is no difference to me sound or quality wise when it comes to my music and mainstream. The only difference is my message, and my message is my faith and my life experiences. The fit is all up to the listeners and what they are willing to relate and connect with. I just make music for the world to know Steven Malcolm and let it do what God wants it to do.

CCM: What did you take away from your time on tour with Lecrae?
SM: Opening for Lecrae on his tour was awesome. Just watching how he carries himself and puts together a great show really impacted me. He has been a super success, so to be able to learn and observe was amazing. Hopefully I’ll be able to get to know him more soon.

CCM: And last but not least, what can concertgoers except from your set at Winter Jam?
SM: High energy, fun, worship, and a party, party, party! I’m so excited and I’ve been practicing so hard to perfect this ten minutes that I have on stage, so expect nothing less than a great experience.
