INTERVIEW

What do you think was the lesson regarding or from that rejection?

That no matter how negatively people think or say about my craft I had to keep telling myself to never give up… I learned a lot through music as it’s like a universal language everyone understands and unify people.

Who do you look up to as an inspiration and why?

There’s a lot of artists I get inspiration from but honestly life inspires me to make music as a way to conveying the message to the youth and because I love music.

How long have you been in the music industry?

Officially I would say eight years but I started 2010 so it’s ten years to eleven.

What is your biggest dream or goal?

To successfully establish a music company and make distributions, win grammies and build an empire though it takes baby steps to get there… I’d also like take my acting serious.

Who is the one person that has changed your life and how have they done so?

My mom and brother… they always believed in my music- my mom is a praying woman and she always told me that one I will make a difference. That’s how they changed my perspective about everything I do. I must take my career serious and involve God in it.

What has been your greatest achievement?

My greatest achievement is My EP (Beast Coast) as it gave me the edge to produce more projects. I'm busy with my EP LIMBO1550, so I see progress and now I'm one of the executives at Hippy Entertainment With Leboo who is also a recording artist putting some work out there and we have a lot of talent to offer through many artists.
