Tell us about a challenge you faced during production and how you overcame it.
My latest single ParkinLotPimpin was a song that sat with me for some months before getting the light it deserved. For the longest I was upset with my mix on the song, until linking with a talented engineer s/o Alex Yake who took the song to another level. I would say when you create something you aspire to be great , sometimes it takes time and new approaches to bring them to life.
If you could collaborate with any artist, who would it be and why?
Amy Winehouse . I love her. RIP
