Treasure Fingers Interview

Treasure Fingers had a lot to be thankful for in ‘08, with the icing on the cake being his recent signing to A-Trak’s Fool’s Gold label:

‘I had quite a few mutual friends but what actually brought it all together was A-Trak sending me a MySpace message saying something like ‘hey! I like your music and run a label, are you interested (in) releasing some records with us?’. Since then, I’ ve become good friends with A-Trak, Nick Catchdubs and the rest of the Fool’ s Gold family; they’ re all really good people.’

This DC native has been rising the ranks with unbelievable speed, going from local opener to global headliner within a couple short years with his infectious blend of Bmore, hip-hop, 80s and mash-ups. Fresh off touring with the likes of Kanye and Kid Sister, Tittsworth is now focusing on upcoming album 12 Steps which he hopes will be a chance for him to spread his wings beyond the world of blog-friendly remixes. URB sat down with the party jam savant about finally being on the radar, 12 Steps and his strange addiction to adventure eating.
