What inspired you to do music?

What inspired me to do music was my child hood while growing up I would see all the bad that surrounded me such as violence ,killings, homicides, robberies, this inspired me to make music so I could be successful and take my family out the struggle and move them to a better environment ,specially when it comes to my younger siblings move them far away to another state away from all this Chicago drama.

What do you want listeners to take from your music?

What I want listeners to take from my music is that it’s not just another song to be played because it’s catchy but to really pay attention to the lyrics I’m saying , I want them to get the message I’m trying to deliver which is not to go with what you see and know as “normal” when it comes to violence and gangs because you grew up around it but take it as a power to trip to make a change if anyone else can do it they can as well it’s all about putting in the work and waiting to do it. Also to aspire to your dreams no one can take that away from you chase it because one day you will have everything you have wanted and more.

What’s your favorite genre of music?

My favorite genre of music I would say would be a little mixture of everything simply because you get a taste of very different cultures and mind sets.

How do you feel about the landscape of music?

my opinion of the current landscape of music I would say is that it trying to reach a lot of audiences and is meaningful, very versatile a lot of artist are crossing paths with different genres and artist in the music industry it’s for all cultures and all ages so its all over the place but also reaches the audience they want and more and that’s one thing about music I enjoy the most it’s for everyone no matter who you are or what you like.

Tell us more:

We’ll the projects I have released so far talk about events and stages I went through in life while I was growing up. It explains how music helped me cope with my problems & struggles that I was dealing with at the moment. How it helped me when I felt at my lowest and had lost all motivation to do anything being depressed is something very common and not talked about enough and I want to reach people and let them know it’s okay to have struggles in life but that doesn’t define who you are , you can always bounce back it’s never too late. I want people to know you are never alone there is someone going thru the same thing as you or has been in the same place and position as you.
