*my inspiration was my mom first
when she got pregnant with me
during college while majoring in
opera/ classical singing
she changed her dream to help my
mine come to live. i’m keeping the
dream alive
secondly what inspired me to start
making music was the first time i
ever heard my voice, on a recorded
track. a contagious feeling that i
still to this day cannot shake. the
love for music
when did you start making music
how old are you and where are you
based?
*i started making music casually at
16 years old recording myself in my
room in my parents home. i always
knew i wanted to be a recording
artist but i didn’t start to take it
seriously until after i graduate high

your 10,000 hours into your craft
until you master it. & have fun

other artists is the fact that i play
over 10 different instruments, i also
read music, i’m also a producer
drummer, audio/sound engineer
and a singer/songwriter. i come
from the musical family. six
generations to be exact. music is in
my blood

flows. is what to me stands out the
most, along with my unique, singing
voice

faced as an artist and how did you
overcome them?
*a lot of my challenges were just
financial honestly, working 9 to 5
job to find my music career, and just
not having enough money at the
time to afford marketing. that was
really the issue. i mean i did go
through some things you know bad
relationships, losing studio
equipment multiple times, losing
thousands of songs multiple times
the whole 9. hardest thing at first
was just getting people to listen
thankfully that changed

music to be?
*i consider my style to be universal
i consider my style of music to be
international, but it’s also influenced
by hip*hop trapsoul neo soul
