Triple M Explains His Brand New Single + Hints At More Music Coming Soon

Intro:

For today’s interview, we have producer, artist, and curator Triple M hailing from Colorado Springs. His new track “Ladies and Gentlemen” is a treat for both his fans & new listeners if you like authentic music. He’s known for creating music that blends elements such as hip-hop, soul, jazz, and cinematic elements to craft music that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Triple’s focus is on building community through sound & creating with intention. Before reading our brief conversation, make sure you check out this new single below.

Me: How would you describe your creative process while making “Ladies and Gentlemen”?

Triple M: The creative process for this one was all about capturing the energy of an active city morning—that feeling when everything’s in motion: people walking fast, horns in the distance, coffee shops buzzing, ideas bouncing around your head. It’s that kind of chaos that somehow feels alive and focused at the same time. I wanted the track to reflect that rhythm, like the city itself is waking up with purpose.

The inspiration came from those mornings when you feel like something’s about to happen, like you’re on the edge of a breakthrough. I built the track to feel cinematic and steady, but still driven. It’s not loud for the sake of it. It’s confident, it moves with intention, and it sets a tone. For me, it felt like the perfect way to open a new chapter.

And, did you draw inspiration from any other specific genres or artists?

Yeah, definitely. I’ve been drawing inspiration from a wide range of sounds lately. I’ve been listening to a lot of Bonobo, The Avalanches, A Tribe Called Quest, Pete Rock, and then branching out into different playgrounds like Japanese Breakfast, Lorde, and Arlo Parks. Even classical and jazz find their way into my process, like Ravel and Freddie Hubbard.

I try to study the nuances in how different artists move, how they build energy, how they leave space, and how they transition. That kind of close listening really sparks ideas. So while the foundation of this track is hip-hop with a soulful, cinematic edge, it’s also a blend of all these influences swirling together in a way that just feels natural to me.

Wow! What an incredible group of artists, too. How would you describe your own current style in your own words?

I’d describe my current style as cinematic hip-hop with a boom bap heart, nostalgic but futuristic. It’s rooted in soul, jazz, and storytelling, with a sound that feels intentional and layered. Sometimes the story is short but sweet; other times it unfolds slowly. Even without words, I want the music to speak for itself. It’s definitely evolved over time. I used to lean more into specific genres, chasing raw boom bap or experimenting with electronic sounds in their own separate lanes. Now those influences blend together more naturally. I’m less focused on fitting into a mold and more about building a sound that feels true to who I am. The evolution came from both experience and learning to trust my instincts.

Are there any key themes or messages you hope listeners take away from this specific listening experience?

At its core, this track is about presence. That feeling of stepping into the world with purpose, even if nobody fully sees the vision yet. It’s about confidence without needing validation. I wanted it to feel like motion, like you’re walking into your day, your dream, your next chapter, and the music is matching your stride.

There’s also a deeper layer about representing where I’m from. Colorado Springs doesn’t always get the spotlight, nor does the music scene in the city. But there’s real culture, creativity, and community here. This track is a nod to all of that. I hope listeners feel empowered, focused, and maybe even a little inspired to move different after hearing it.

I love that answer & think you did a great job conveying that in your writing. In addition, what was the most challenging part of making this track?

The most challenging part was, honestly, just getting started again. With everything going on in life, finding that creative momentum isn’t always easy. Being a one-person team means I’m handling everything from production to mixing to promotion, so it can get overwhelming fast. But once I found the spark and locked into the vibe, it reminded me why I do this. The hard part was showing up. The magic came after.

I’m sure too there some of the other musicians that can directly relate to the grind if being independent. Also, what made you choose your current stage name? Has it always been the same?

Triple M stands for Malcolm Makes Music.

Nice! And outside of “Ladies and Gentlemen,” are there any upcoming releases or plans that you're comfortable sharing with the readers?

Yeah, my next single drops June 27. It’s called “Red Light.” It’s got a completely different vibe from “Ladies and Gentlemen.” Where that one felt like a cinematic city intro, this one’s more moody, late-night, driving under streetlights energy. There’s a pulse to it, something a little raw and reflective. It’s still instrumental, but it carries weight in a different way.

That track kicks off the next chapter, and I’m dropping consistently after that. I’ve got a full lineup mapped out, building toward bigger projects. Each release shows a different side of my sound, and “Red Light” sets that tone. It’s the kind of track you play when you’re in your own world, thinking about where you’ve been and where you’re headed.

And finally, in your own words, why should a new listener check out this song today?

Because it doesn’t sound like everything else out there. This track isn’t trying to go viral or chase a trend. It’s built to feel like something. Whether you’re starting your day, zoning in, or just need something that moves with purpose, this song sets a tone. It’s hip-hop with depth. Cinematic but grounded. Simple yet fresh. If you’re the kind of listener who catches details and likes music that carries weight without saying a word, this one’s for you.
