Music is in his Blood... When did you first get into music? Music has been in my life since I was very little. My Dad had his own Mexican band and even had me learn a couple instruments as a kid, when I was 11. Who or What inspired you to pursue a career in music? Even though my Dad was a great musician, I believe I gained more passion for the music my mom was into. My mom was born in Cali, so she’s the one that introduced me to MJ, Earth, Wind and Fire and even 2Pac. When my mom was younger she would sing in a group with her sister and cousin. She told me if she had not chosen to marry my Dad and have me, she would have kept pursuing her dream to become a singer. I feel if I make it as a successful rap artist, then she can finish living her dream through me. By the time i heard Kid Cudi’s first tape, I knew I too was gonna make people just like me and him get through hard times with real music. How has your music evolved since you first began performing/writing music? My music was so amatuer when I first started dropping tracks. I believe technically and even mentally my sound is alway reaching new heights, just cus I make what I want, as long as I like it. I even keep my very first tape up on my soundcloud as a reminder for myself and others that you can really get better at something you keep trying your best at.
I’m sure you have shared the stage with a lot of talented artists along the way. Would you share 1 or 2 of your favorite stories with us? I remember doing one show with my friend Trilly, believe it or not, it was in a God damn library/cafe...
