Talk of the Town

When did you first get into music?

I’ve had a passion for music my whole life honestly, but I starting taking it serious around the age of 12 when I got my first computer. I went to RadioShack and bout a telemarketer headphone and started going CRAZY ever since.

Who or What influenced you to pursue a career in music?

Cash money, Baby. I was hella intrigued with the bling bling video. I seen the stretch limos and the jewels and the helicopters and I wanted it, all of it. I wanted that life for me and my loved ones.

I remember days waking up hearing the temptations and the Isley brothers blaring out the speakers. Music has always been a bit part of my life. My granddaddy use to be road manager for Keith Sweat early on in his career before his first tour so I jus fell like music was just in my blood, not only the creative side but my yearning for wanting to really understand the business.

Describe your style of music.

I feel like I got a different sound. It’s smooth but the melodies make you want to move at the same time. I make music that tends to motivate. I’m not big on stress or stressful things so I always try to jus vibrate on a higher level and I think it comes across in my vibe in my music. I’m good at putting a lot of emotion into my music tho, like if I’m talking bout a subject you can relate to, you gonna fell me. It’s never really been about the bars and metaphors for me, music has always been about the way it makes you feel at the time so I try to focus on really conveying a vibe. I tend to come across people who tell me they don’t really like listening to much of what’s out, that love to listen to my music.

How has your music evolved since you first started in the music industry?

I signed my first deal when I was 16. Back then I had a more rappy flow, not as melodic. Back when bars was more the thing. I loved rnb so I always incorporated a melodic element to my raps, but it wasn’t till I separated from my high school sweat heart that I really jus took hold of this low melodic tone I have now. She was a singer and I use to write a lot of music for her, so anytime I felt like rnb I would just write something for her and she would sing it. But after we separated, I had to find ways to incorporate this melodic rnb vibe I just couldn’t get away from.

If you were forced to choose only one, which emotion, more than any other, drives you to stay in this tough industry? Is it joy, anger, desire, passion or pride and why?

At this point, it’s my desire, my dream to see my hometown become a staple in a industry where we have no presence. I want to have the first major indie label, with successful artist, to have a headquarters in downtown Denver.

Which ingredient do you think makes you special and unique as performing artists in an industry overflowing with new faces and ideas?

I think it’s my sound mixed with my ambition and hustle and my natural personality that jus kinda captures those who get to experience my vibe. With so many faces and ideas out there it hard to stand out, it’s more about staying in and controlling your lane, but I fell my mentality has always kept me in front of the curve.

What has been your biggest challenge as a performing artist? Have you been able to overcome that challenge? If so, how?

Biggest challenge for me has been staying consistent with releases and reaching a boarder audience. Coming from Denver we don’t have many outlets as far as helping us or teaching us how to reach the masses so I feel like it was a super hard task trying to figure out the best outlets and what not to waste my money on trying to chase goals without putting in the work. I do feel like I’m getting better at my consistency and I’m getting with the right people to help with my reaching the masses problem, I just locked in a crazy investment for my record label, maybe one of the first of its kind for a hiphop based label out of my city, so now I’m in the position to be fully independent with a more major type of budget, so you know what they say, it takes money to make money.

A common phrase in the industry is, “you must suffer for your art.” Do you agree with this statement? If so, how have you suffered for your art?

Man, more than a little bit brodie. I’ve lost money, friends, relationships and all type of stuff. This industry will definitely weed out the weak.

How do you feel the internet has impacted the music business?

I feel like it made the industry easier, you can get to the people faster now with the right outlets. Now a days the upcoming artist aren’t heavy in the streets at all like it used to be. Thanks to the internet people can really get to know the artist outside of the music.

If you could change anything about the music industry, what would it be?

It would be the fact that I’m not in it yet. I feel like Denver has a sound and a style that needs more representation in the industry. We just different with it, and there’s a lot of unique sounds all in this one place.

I’m sure you have shared the stage with many talented artists, maybe even celebrities Please share 1 or 2 of your favorite stories with us.

In my city, I’ve opened for almost EVERYBODY! From Fabolous and TI to Eric Berlinger. I recently was blessed with the opportunity to go on my first tour with my guy DJ Luke Nasty. I think I had some of my favorite performances on that tour, and I learned a lot. One of my craziest show memories tho was a show I had in Nebraska. I had to drive from Denver to the show and we end up running out of gas on the way! I was about 2 miles from the closest gas station so I had to literally PUSH THE CAR for about a mile with trucks flying past me bro on a two lane highway! I finally got close enough to where I could see the gas station and walked the rest of the way. I called the promoter like bro, my car ran out of gas but I’m on the way. Man I wanted to give up that night, but we made it to the show and KILLED IT! Made all type of new fans. It was crazy! S/O my guy AXCESS for booking me.

What are the 5 albums that have helped make you the person you are today? And why?

Ooouuu that’s hard.

Ludacris - Back for the first time, Usher - My Way TPain - Rapper Turned Sanger Lil Bow Wow - Bow Wow Myrical Child - Born & Raised

Luda was my favorite rapper for a long time, his style and delivery was always crazy to me and I pulled a lot from that when I was making music. I had a heavy rnb cd collection but Usher really stuck with me, I think it was his sound and the way he wrote his lyrics. TPain introduced me to auto tune and cause of that I’ve been able to develop this sounds I have today, and the way he writes is out of this world to me. Bow wow made me feel like I could REALLY DO IT. At that age he was the perfect example of what I saw for myself. And my first album I put together made me feel so accomplished, all the hard work and long nights I put in making beats and writing and recording finally came out to be everything I knew It could be. My petal been to the metal ever since.

What is the best advice you have received?

Never let anyone tell you you can’t do something. If you believe it and you know your willing to work hard for it, you CAN DO IT.

What’s next for you? New Music?

I got my own legal cannabis brand called ZaPacks out in dispensaries in Denver right now, next up is the video for my latest single 64 (bounce) ft Luke Nasty and then I’m focused on dropping a new record every month for the year of 2022. I might put together a project too but I’m really just focused on singles right now, And on top of the artist side of things, now that my distribution deal is finalized with Othaz/ Empire, I’m bout to go HARD as a Owner and CEO of my record label called Absolute Music Group.
