Describe your musical journey in three sentences
I started in the 90s and learning verses to some of my favorite rappers (Bizzy Bone, Big L, FU-Schnickens, A Tribe Called Quest). I then started freestyling with friends and then started writing my own lyrics. From there, I became a huge underground hiphop head in the early 2000s, and joined forces with two different rap groups and performed around the region, completed albums and now simply doing it for the love, solo.
Fan Engagement
Share an interesting experience you had while creating your latest track.
I am currently creating multiple songs at the same time, but the one I just finished, “With You” is about losing someone you love to suicide. My sister took her life in December and that song is dedicated to her…she was one of my biggest fans.
Behind the Music
Tell us about a challenge you faced during production and how you overcame it.
I struggle with finishing songs. I am easily distracted (all the time) and especially when writing, so I tend to jump around from one unfinished song to another – especially when I’m struggling to write really strong lyrics.
If you could collaborate with any artist, who would it be and why?
Oof…that’s tough. I’d have to say Kanye West…he is truly a brilliant and there is so much I could learn by collaborating him. Plus, he’s one my all-time favorite artists.
Future Aspirations
Where do you see your music taking you in the next year?
I think I’d like to complete a short album with all of my greatest work…I’ve been at this a long time….and feel like my music just keeps improving…and before I start to fall off or lose it….would like a compilation of my best songs.
What’s the next big step for you as an artist?
I’d like to collaborate with other aspiring talent…it’s something I don’t do and would enjoy co-creating with other artists. And, I don’t pay for features or charge for them…I do this simply for the love and art. Don’t hit me up to pay to jump on a track with you, especially if I can out-rhyme you 😉
Recent Work & Contact Info
