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

Music is soulmate! We met when I was 9 years old and we've been together ever since. As far as what it gives me it's a range of things but out of them all it gives me the freedom to express myself the best way I know how, Vocally!

What is your music dream?

My dream is to be recognized and respected for my talent, to travel and perform all over the world. To be considered one of the many greats and have impact on generations to come.

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

Getting the less fortunate off the streets would be the first thing I would do if I could change the world. I understand we have shelters, but I still feel there's no reason any one on the planet should be without a place to stay, a decent meal & clothes on their backs. This amongst a lot of other gestures I would make towards changing the world.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

My most memorable song from my childhood is from this artist by the name of Lil Bow Wow (which is the reason I got inspired to start making music in the first place) the song was titled: "That's my name". I remember watching the video for the first time and realizing I found my path in life. Still listen to that record til this day.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

I would consider myself a lyricist. I love lyrical rap, so based on that Jay-Z, Notorious B.I.G, Andre 3000, Lil Wayne, Jadakiss & Mase just to name a few. Kanye West is one of my favorite all around artist of all time, next to the late great Michael Jackson. Lil Bow Wow is the reason I rap and also I'm a huge fan of R&B as well. It's a list of so many artist and genres that inspire me, we'd be here all day naming them.

What inspires you to make music?

Life experience, movies, relationships, feelings and my friends are all contributing factors that inspired me to make music.

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

That I'm a natural, witty, charismatic, stylish & creative person. That investing your money before spending it frivolously will keep your family fed for generations to come. That I'm here to stay and that you can do anything you put your mind as well as your time and effort to. That's the message I want to send with my music.

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

That's my safe haven. Believe it or not that's one of my favorite parts about the creating music process. Performing gives me this feeling of wholesomeness. It's good for the soul! Exchanging energy with the crowd as they recite the lyrics word for word is unmatched. It's nothing like it.
