What is music to you? What does it give you?

Music is the air that I breathe daily. Music is the love I have in my heart. It is the soul connector of the people. Music gives me hope, confidence, and reassurance that everything is going to work out in my favor

My music dream is to be on a stage with my mom and dad front row cheering me on and singing to my hits. My music dream is to get my mom and dad out of Mississippi so they can enjoy the life that they deserve to live.

If you could change the world - what would you start with?

I would change world hunger. It truly hurts my heart when I turn on the tv, news, and even social media and see countries where kids are dying and not healthy because they have no food or the food they have is contaminated. That truly and deeply brings pain to my heart

The most memorable song from my childhood is Don’t Matter by Akon

What inspires you to make music?

Just the love of music. The way music bring the people together no matter the race. It’s just the love

What is the message you want to send with your music?

Since the genre I do is R&B I guess my message would be: “You’re gonna go through some tough breakups that feel like the end of the world, but remember there’s somebody special for everybody” As far as rapping my message is simple and clear: “Never let the haters, heartache, pain, & misery deter you from your dreams”

How do you feel when you perform in front of an audience?

I’ve had dance performances in front of plenty audiences and that feeling s electric. I’ve performed songs in front of maybe 3 audiences in my life and the feeling was magnetic. I felt like I was doing what God put me here to do and that’s sing

How do you see the musicians’ reality nowadays? What could be improved?

I think the reality has been so swayed since the advancement of technology that most artist are trying to come up by doing it their way instead of the industries way. And personally I commend every artist out there who is grinding daily, like me, just to get a toe in the door. I think the relationship between labels and artist can be improved. Too many times I hear artist complaining about their label or in contract disputes with their labels. If the labels placed more emphasis on caring for the artist and their music as one then that would fix a lot

What do you think of Drooble?

I just started using it but so far, it’s living up to the hype

What frustrates you most as a musician?

The most frustrating thing to me is, dedicated musicians put all your time into working on your craft and perfecting it just to have some other so called musician take 15 steps ahead of you. Some artist dedicate their lives to music and singing only to have someone, who’s work ethic can’t touch yours, get thrust ahead of them

I very much support the local scene. I take the time to go listen to my peers music all the time and I try to support in many ways as I can as far as sharing their content and helping them get their sound out

What qualities should a musician nowadays have in order to get their music heard by a larger audience?

I think a strong work ethic is very important, the right support group, mentally able to put up with the stress of everything music. U have to be able to connect with the people through your music or else it won’t resonate
