GHASTLY Interview- growing up on goat farm, homeless, Skrillex, getting fired from all jobs

Hi it's Lauren Engel of Sidewalk Talk :)
Ghastly specializes in a provocative blend of house, trap, and dubstep that invokes names like Dillon Francis, Borgore, Zomboy, and Skrillex. Raised on a goat farm in Arizona, Crow initially flirted with metal before finding his muse in the pulsating lights and soul-shaking bass of electronic dance music. After relocating to Venice Beach and living out of his van West Coast hobo style, Crow found work (as well as his stage name) as Bassrush Resident DJ at Exchange L.A., while also securing a bevy of singles on labels such as OWSLA, Buygore, and Dim Mak, including "Miami Connection" with Jauz and "Crank It" with Mija & Lil Jon. In 2017, he followed up his successful remix of Zomboy's "Light's Out" with his own composition, the dark and danceable "Spider Symphony."

ty for having me and my bunny! (◕,,,◕)

[@Soulseven]

Ghastly you’re inspirational 😆

[@vivalaresolution8258]

This was fun to watch, you’re pretty awesome, Ghastly.

[@Lumax96]

cute bunny and all, and I propably cant really judge from just watching the vid, but the bunny kinda looked scared...with all the noise going on around you guys...maybe thats just a false impression by me.

[@3rddegree169]

Ghastly you are deff my favorite person/dj/producer. Keep em coming

[@Speellman]

Dude are you gonna still make your KZbin videos!!

[@DefWun]

Ghastly seems like that cool ass friend,who is always chill and sends out positive vibes.

[@ronanfortin1006]

The quote “The songs you write are the weapons that you take on to the battlefield of the music industry and you’ve gotta make sure you make good ones” is so good. That's a possible senior quote for me now.

[@SidewalkTalks]

omg dooo it and take a pic tweet it at me hahah

[@curroofficial9156]

he was the first dude to support my music when i moved to LA. Great dude.

[@amiddleclassboy3438]

Watching 3 year's later !! It's actually inspiring :)

[@paulocontreras4494]

Do Eptic please :)!

[@chromefoxx1901]

I recently saw Ghastly on the first of June for part of his Mystifying Oracle tour. And honestly, it was one of the most emotional times i have ever had at any concert. Ever. He truely expresses his emotion with his music and hearing it played live was spectacular. David's music has been a huge part of my life. He really gives back to his fans. I've been here since his collab with Sullivan King was released on Buygore. So glad to see him grow as such an inspirational artist 🔮❤

[@Ghastly]

[@aidan8436]

I saw Ghastly on June 2nd for my birthday and it was one of the best moments of my life. Best show I've ever been too hands down.

[@aidan8436]

I saw Ghastly on June 2nd in Phoenix, and he threw down the most emotional set I've ever heard. You can tell he puts his heart and his soul into his music

[@OfficialPrower]

I just realized that it would be so cool to have Valentine on this...

[@saintdare169]

32 minutes?? My body is ready

[@nomia3364]

This video just made my day, and i was having a rough day...💜I saw Ghastly at Ultra miami early this year and it made me fall in love with his music 100x more. Love his personality, music, energy and everything in between. Loved this video!

[@TheVijaykishore]

This is definitely one of my favourites. Very deep and very very personal. Loved it. I think I might just start listening to Ghastly hahaa

[@Deejus]

[@tarinaaleamoni6531]

Met him last night, one of the nicest and most genuine artists in the industry 💙

[@alexchavez1418]

Yo at the end ghastly literally says that there aren’t very many djs/producers who don’t share where they came from. I was just thinking about this and how ghastly has made atleast two videos explain his process through it all. It is so inspiring! Ghastly, if you’re reading this, we will collaborate together one day!!

[@nadiakit2100]

He draws and he makes music. Love him more now :')

[@raskullsshako]
