Venus Dialogues | Miles Into the Future with Emjae


From east to west, Emjae is circumnavigating the globe bringing his art to fans worldwide. His passion for the craft inspires him to travel miles and miles, and to work with other likeminded artists to make #YDream a reality.

AbsoluteVenus: What inspires you to create music?
Emjae: Pretty much anything inspires me to create music. This world is so full of surprises it’s impossible to run out of inspiration. It could be something little as looking out your window or something big like a world event or issue. If you could connect and tap into what the world gives you, you’ll find inspiration and the result for me is creating music.
AbsoluteVenus: What projects are you currently working on?
Emjae: Right now I’m currently working on a few projects. One of them I recently completed where I collaborated with this new female R&B artist name Kizzy Amos I believe you’ll be hearing her name alot. The connection for that came out of Canada. I’m working on my own mixtape for the USA and overseas. I recently released an EP but, it was exclusively for my fans in Japan. I’m doing a lot right now for my team, making sure I help them with what they need and continue to be the leader for them. We all have something going on and I want to make sure they are successful with their goals so I’m there for them and always working. I also revamped the look for my website. It was released on Jan. 10th as well as the team website.


AbsoluteVenus: Are there any collabos (lyricists, producers, etc.) that you would like to mention?
Emjae: I just mentioned one artist Kizzy Amos R&B artist, the project I worked on with her is called “Feels Good” and it’s a very well put together song and that girl can sing! I’ll be looking forward to working with producer/Artist Dayy, Prestige, and MeccaGodzilla. Of course I’ll reach out to more of my peers so, hopefully I’ll be able to work with them at some point this year.
AbsoluteVenus: Where can hip hop heads hear/buy your music? What formats (i.e. MP3, CD, vinyl)?
Emjae: Right now my music is free and you can find my music on Emjae.net, there you can get to my music and even contact me for any special request. It’ll be in MP3 form.
AbsoluteVenus: Any upcoming concerts/performances?
Emjae: I have a good start to the year with performances. That’s pretty much where I gross the most is on my live shows. I started off with the Web release party in Milford on Jan 10th. I’ll be back overseas in February. I’ll be in South Korea on February 6th and I’ll be back in Japan on February 14th and still booking on the year so I’m happy with the progress and I’m even happier the people come out to see me perform, it really has been surreal but I’ve been very grateful.
AbsoluteVenus: Are there other projects that you are working on that you would like to mention?
Emjae: Yes, MeccaGodzilla and I are working hard every day to make our team #YDream as strong as possible. We are currently setting up Tours in Japan, Asia, and Europe. We are also working on tours in the USA as well. Hard work and determination with a good heart can get you to where you want to be. Peace and Love.
