Har-Q real name Jason Khalid Williams
Har-Q stands for the H: herald ‘messenger’ / heru ‘sun-flesh’
A: ark ‘the message’
R: returns/renaissance ‘a revival of or renewed interest in something.’
Q: Quadrivium: ‘a medieval university course involving the ‘mathematical arts’ of arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and music’
Born and raised in Northampton a thing which har-q has given credit for his rhymes and dedication to music because it is a quiet town, which is what has giving har-q a chance to create boxes of writing and terabytes of recording homing his style and meaning for creating music.
Inspiration to music
Har-q has always been into music, the process, creation, and the imagination that music has embedded in its process. Har-Q believes music is a tool for education as well as entertain so this has been his base and inspiration trying to find that blend and balance. Har-Q is inspired and also very interested the 4 elements of hip hop and sees the watering out of it in this generation and making it a goal to revive it, being interested in history, Har-Q noticed a resounding likeness in the 4 element of hip hop and the mastery subjects of the past now bringing this knowledge together in his music is his lives work.
