Guest Speaker Ep. 116: ANoyd

On Episode 116 of the Guest Speaker series, we welcome one of the most recognizable hip-hop artists in New England, Bloomfield, Connecticut’s very own ANoyd! ANoyd and his team stopped by AOA Studios in part to promote his upcoming headline show ‘WHY NOT NOW?!’, this Saturday November, 2nd, at Middle East Upstairs in Cambridge: which will feature sets from multiple artists from the MA area such as César, Suriel, LYFE, J Faith, & Kemic. Tickets are still available, so make sure you secure yours! In this episode, ANoyd shares some behind-the-scenes aspects of the show which include how his single “Why Not Now?!” impacted its branding, as well as the full band experience fans can expect for his set. Additionally, ANoyd sits down with Mike to discuss a variety of topics, including his introduction to the music industry which he credits to producer RichBreed, as well as his father, popular reggae artist Chuck Fenda. ANoyd also breaks down the CT music scene and the impact its had on him, and vice versa. Mike & ANoyd also have a long-winded conversation about mental health and the importance of talking about your problems, and how music intertwines in these areas, including how the “microwave music” era has impacted deeper conversations in a negative way. You also won’t want to miss the epic edition of Pop Quiz, where ANoyd explains the time he snuck into Hot 97 early in his career, his favorite dishes to cook, his obsession with the Walking Dead, why he’d want to face off 1v1 against LeBron, and so much more.
