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

Life isn't easy, trials and tribulations are nonstop, but no matter how hard it gets, you can't let your trauma discourage you. The best way to deal with your past trauma is to prove to yourself that nothing can bring you down, you can overcome any obstacle you put your heart and mind to. Become the best version of yourself, fill yourself with genuine love ,and get rid of all the hate you may have. The end goal is happiness, and true happiness is being able to be comfortable in your own skin while knowing that everything youve been through happened for a reason and is leading you to exactly where you are supposed to be.

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

When I perform I feel like this is exactly what I was sent to this world to do. I feel like im fufilling my purpose.

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

I see the musician's reality nowadays as a competition. Nowadays a lot of musicians, especially rappers, all want to be the best. Its a struggle being a musician of course, harder than it looks for sure. I believe the only improvements that could be made are within the individual musician. If more musicians do music cause its their passion and what they love instead of doing it for clout, money, and fame, i believe a musicians reality could be more clear.

Have to have a dope sound and image, confidence, and most importantly, they gotta be ready.
