Szikrettoh is made of 2 members, YhoRieck and Pinklove. We love rapping, and we definitely have fun rapping together. We are not saying we are any good, but even if our songs suck for the public, we'd accept that openly. We are only here to share our thoughts through our songs... coz it feels real good hearing the beat, then rhyme the words that our heart dictates. :)
♦Why this name?
Szikrettoh is a name i (Pinklove) made up for the two of us (YhoRieck & me).
I got the idea of making a name for us coz it looked kinda funny when he promotes our songs then he says "listen to my songs! just go to www.soundclick.com/pinklove"
it's like, whoa... he's this good-looking guy, then promotes his songs through a site with something so girly a name that's "pinklove"? lols. Anyway, i get more inspired writing songs when i know he's gonna do it with me, so it's a lot better!
♦Do you play live?
Live... at home :p and yeah, we like it. lols.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I guess through the net, a lot of fresh talents are discovered.
♦Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Of course :D
Band History:
Szikrettoh was born practically out of nowhere! lol.
YhoRieck and I had known each other since we were 14yrs old, and had been friends from there on. Been through a lot (group projects, group activities, field trips, gimmicks, hang-outs, trouble, etc.,), still going through a lot, and will still go through a lot :D
This month (March of 2009) i (pinklove) texted him and asked him if he knows how to rap. He replied, telling me that he knows a little, but never really got into it. I then asked him to come over and do with me a song i wrote. He had nothing to do so he agreed and said he'd give it a shot. The very first song we did was Hindi Magbabago. He liked it a lot (even made me play it OVER and OVER again till my ears ached)... so now he got hooked into it! I asked him if he would like us to be a duo and he happily agreed.
We enjoy each others company so I know we'd have lots of fun.
And oh, yeah, this is our name not just because its just a name to call us...
the name we chose also shows something about us... coz guess what...
there really is a secret! :p
Your influences?
First of all there's the Master Rapper Francis M.
We've got high respect for him and we value all his works. We find inspiration in the way he carried out his career and his life.
R&B singers like ne-yo, craig david, chris brown also contributes as our musical influence.
THE TWIST ABOUT SZIKRETTOH
The rap we make are basically statements... though there is only one writer of the lyrics, the songs also define what the other wants to say. We have been friends for such a long time. We are almost like one another's diary. So although only one of us writes the song, some songs written are also a statement from the other one's thoughts.
And about our secret? Hmmm... can't tell :D
we won't be Szikrettoh anymore if I do! lol.
