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

Music is just like any language out in the world today. It is a universal language we all can understand and share with one another. Music is a huge part of the world today and I feel like I want to be a part of a movement that redefines what we call music today.

What is your music dream?

My musical dream is to become a musical producer who is widely respected among the professional music community

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

If I could change the world, I would start with the food. I am an avid food lover and I believe that if we all share the foods that we love among different cultures, we would begin to build an understanding of one another. Just as we exchange ideas through language, food would be a more direct start in getting to know more people. With a better understanding of everyone, that in itself is creating a change the world.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

The most memorable song from my childhood is Hurt by Johnny Cash. I was young when the song was released, yet I was able to understand the emotions within the song. I felt those emotions too at an age which I shouldn't understand them, yet I was able to connect to that song on a different level than most. The raw emotion and the music changed its tones throughout the composition and it changed how I felt about music.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

I listen to a variety of music and I don't have one specific genre. So I'll do my best to list my favorite artists and bands by my memory. Bands Asking Alexandria, Atreyu. Bring Me The Horizon, Enter Shikari, Fall Out Boy, Hawthorne Heights, Kill Hannah, Lead Hands, Linking Park, My Chemical Romance, Of Mice and Men, Saosin, Silverstein, System of a Down, Taking Back Sunday, Thirty Seconds to Mars, and Weezer Artists 21 Savage, Big Sean, Childish Gambino, Dr. Dre, Drake, Eminem, Frank Ocean, Gorillaz, Ice Cube, J. COle, Johnny Cash, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Kid Cudi, Logic, NF, SChoolboy Q, Shaggy, Serj Tankian, The Weeknd.

What inspires you to make music?

My inspiration comes from the music and songs I listened to that changed me emotionally. There are songs that I listened to at different periods of my life and it gave me a sense of understanding among strangers. There were people who were singing about their troubles in their life and it helped me to understand that I wasn't alone. I was not the only person experiencing hardship or emotional struggles. If one song was able to change me, I wonder how I can help change others who need help.

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

I want to send positivity and unity in my music. I am a native american, more specifically a Navajo man. In my culture, we talk about "Hozho" which is the word for harmony and beauty. We believe that every person should have harmony and should walk in beauty. Our people talk about respecting strangers and believing in yourself. So this is the teaching I want to uphold in my music.
