Revealing Possibilities When did you first get into music? What was your inspiration? I’ve always loved music. I was always beating on something. Be it drums in the church or freestyling in a battle at school. It was natural. My first record came much later, but I can still remember as child being excited with sounds and melodies. My inspiration is life. It’s therapy. How has your music evolved since you first began creating music? Music is a craft that cannot sit still. It’s always changing and reinventing itself. I feel more comfortable with my craft today because it is 100% me. No filter, no lies, just me. I am at the moment. It’s freeing.

Which ingredient do you think makes you special and unique as a performing artist in an industry overflowing with new faces and ideas? The faces change, but the sound and creativity is very much the same. Because, I am free to express my personal experiences and ideas. It allows me to individualize the message and how I present it. I see a lot of Migo babies being pushed and tossed around. Everybody raps the same and move the same. It’s easy to stand out now-a-days. Just be original.
