Meet Legaci | Artist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Legaci and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Legaci, what’s something about your industry that outsiders are probably unaware of?
They see the finished products first. They’re not there for the countless takes for one verse or chorus. They’re not there for the hours on end trying to get the mix or master right for one song. The hours and late night sessions can be documented by a quick photo or clip, but cannot be felt.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
This next album that I’m working on titled Oasis, has been one of the most fun, next level taking, growing experiences I’ve ever had. There’s features and names attached to the album that I dreamt of working with.

It took years of just practicing the craft like any other profession. Days and nights of working on it, locking myself in the studio room. From my parents house, friend’s studio, or now at my own home with my wife and daughters. I think anything that is in the creative field or industry doesn’t come easy. If it did there would be no way to truly stand out. No way to forge my own path and become who I was truly meant to be through inspiration and learning.

Anytime something stood in my path, I merely viewed it as a challenge. An obstacle and creating a mental game of how many ways can I hurdle over this. Success does not come easy.

I think the biggest lesson was learning to balance the life this industry brings, and being a husband/father. To me, that comes first regardless of how far I take this. If anything it drives me to work harder to get my career to that next level.

At the end of the day, I’m not trying to be anyone else but me, I’m not trying to make it seem like this corny thing either. I’m still that hungry kid I was at 15 sitting in his room, listening to music, writing songs and just recording whatever I felt, looking at the vinyl collection and posters on my wall, dreaming of where this all could go.
The biggest thing to take away from my story, my upbringing, is that the world always told me no, but here I am 24 years later.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Okay check it, I’m always in the mood for pizza, so there’s this really good pizza spot off Louetta called Tony’s pizzeria. I’m super into the whole geek culture, so there’s this spot not too far in Spring called Culture World, they’ve got all sorts of collectables, trading cards, music memorabilia, sports memorabilia, collectables from the 80s, 90s, 2000s. Then there’s spot in the woodlands called Bar Louie, good drinks and this fire burger that me and my team always get, its the go to.

Really I spend my time either in the studio or over at Culture World, they always have new inventory and things I miss from my last visit that will catch my eye the next.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
There’s too many people that come to mind, but there’s one person who has truly seen me from the start, documenting every step of the way. So I’d like to dedicate this piece to my sister slash personal photographer/videographer, Melany Hernandez.
