🎀 Artist Interview: TRICKID - Raw Sound, Honest Vision, and the Journey Ahead

 At Indie Planet, we love spotlighting artists who shape their sound with intention, honesty, and passion. Today, we’re excited to introduce TRICKID, a Korean producer and rapper whose raw mixing style, fearless experimentation, and collaborative spirit have made him a quietly powerful force in the indie scene. From early inspirations to upcoming large-scale plans, TRICKID walks us through his journey and the evolving identity behind his music.


1. What inspired you to start making music, and what’s the meaning behind your stage name, TRICKID?

TRICKID: I first got inspired in 2018 while watching the Korean hip-hop survival show Show Me The Money 777. Around the same time, I started listening to Bassagong’s album 탕아, and that really motivated me to begin making music. I started officially releasing tracks on Apple Music and Spotify in 2022. My original stage name was Trick:n4me, but I changed it to TRICKID, inspired by the Korean producer JayKidman’s name.


2. How did your collaboration with Peera Tear begin? Any memorable moments or creative synergy during the process?

TRICKID: In 2020, I joined a crew called “Wudai Crew,” where Peera Tear was also a member. We found that our musical styles aligned well, and we could match each other’s work pace. So, we formed a team called HALLELUJAH and released two EPs together. Peera Tear has a very natural rap style, which made producing and arranging the tracks really enjoyable, and the results turned out amazing.


3. When mixing and mastering, what are your main priorities, and do you have a personal sound philosophy?

TRICKID: I try to preserve a raw feeling in the music. I want to capture the exact emotions and intentions the rappers have while recording. At the same time, I aim to organize it so it sounds clean and clear. I used to prefer blunt, dreamy mixes, but recently I like sharp, crisp mixing.


4. Which recent project challenged you the most, technically or emotionally?

TRICKID: My album [FIELD] with rapper Woong Ga, released on November 13, 2025, was particularly challenging. I aimed to make banger tracks and explore the genre “rage,” which I had never tried before. The album draws a lot of inspiration from Playboi Carti, and creating it was focused on exploring these new sounds.


5. Are there any upcoming projects or directions you’re excited to pursue?

TRICKID: I’m planning a large-scale project that will showcase who TRICKID really is as an artist. I hope everyone looks forward to it. It’s going to be something special.


From experimenting with rage beats to planning a major personal project, TRICKID is only just getting started. His drive to stay true to himself while pushing forward is exactly what makes indie artists so exciting to follow. We’re rooting for him, and we hope this interview helps more listeners discover his world. Stay tuned! TRICKID’s next chapter is going to be big.
