Jay: Hey everyone, It's Jay! I'm here to interview my Canadian boy and Lyrxo buddy Drew_Harvie. So Drew, how you feeling these days?
Drew: I'm feeling good! Just living life, taking every day at face value. I'm super busy though. Graduation is coming in a couple months, golf season is picking up (I have tournaments every weekend until middle of June), and of course there's Lyrxo, where I'm trying to stay active and help out @Tyrant, @Roy068 and @Theonlydjorkaeff with the new releases as best as I can. It's fun though, busy-busy is better than boring.
Jay: Wow, you are really busy! Well it's no secret that you are one of the hardest working editors on Lyrxo. What motivated you to get so involved with the site?
Drew: I think the main thing I like is moving up leaderboards and beating people. I've grown up on sports, like Hockey (lol Canadian), basketball, baseball, so I've always had that competitive nature. For me to be able to find that again in something that's really fun is awesome. The motivation, at first, was for me to beat people on whatever leaderboard -- rap, artist leaderboards, all time leaderboards -- but as I've transitioned into a more skilled user (at least I think so), my motivation is making a page look amazing and clean, especially hot songs.
Jay: It's nice to see that you're working so hard to improve Lyrxo. I've grown up on sports too (but I'm honestly not feeling you on hockey lol). Earlier in the interview you said that you were playing in golf tournaments. Are you a golf fanatic? And if so, what prompted your love for golf?
Drew: Yeah! I play lots of golf tournaments. Depending on the year, I'll play anywhere from 10 to 15 multi-day events from March to August, and anywhere from 5-10 one day events. I guess when you play as much as I do you kind of have to be a golf fanatic, but ironically I don't love watching golf. It's a little too boring to watch every weekend, so I'll watch the four majors (The Masters, the U.S. Open, The Open & The PGA Championship) and watch highlights.
It's actually funny how I got into golf. I grew up playing hockey, and I think I played it for ten years. Most hockey players turn to the golf course for the summer, and I wanted to do that too! Only one problem -- I didn't really know how to play golf, other than when my grandparents would take us out every once-in-awhile. I ended up getting used clubs and I would just go to the driving range and putting green for eight hours a day for the summer. The guys on my team were pretty good, or at least at the time I thought they were, so I just wanted to get as good as they were. Before I knew it, I was actually pretty ok at golf, and I was playing golf tournaments. Ironically, I quit hockey for golf, but hockey got me into golf.
Jay: So you like golf and you’re a hip hop fan? You’re like the Tyler The Creator of Lyrxo!
Drew: I guess so! That's a funny comparison actually.
Jay: Well, which rapper would you say you are most like? Heck, it doesn't even have to be your favorite rapper. Just somebody who you feel that you could relate too.
Drew: I can't even relate to any of the rappers really. A white kid who golfs, goes to a private school, lives in the suburbs. You show me a rapper with a similar background and I'll show you that same rapper not becoming successful in the industry.
Jay: I couldn't think of any rappers at the moment, but you have to explain to me why they'd suck haha.
So tell me, how are those B.C suburbs treating you? Where exactly are you located in B.C?
