Young Kid from Detroit, MI who passion for music through dance & singing in primary school which later grew into a passion for hip-hop and rhyming.

I’ve been involved with music my entire life. It’s something I knew I wanted to do from the very beginning.

2. Describe your sound concepts, what is it like? What are three words that best define it?

My music is soul music, it’s music from the heart. Soul, Love & Passionate are the three words that best describe what I represent.

3. What is your definition of success, and how much of it do you think you’ve achieved?

Success for me is ever evolving. I’m never satisfied. I want more than I can imagine but at the very same instant, I give myself credit for my accomplishments and I take pride in reaching my goals. You can’t skip crawling and go right into walking but you show aim to run.

Thats how I look at things. Be proud of what you have done but don’t let that be the end all be all. In the short amount of time that I’ve really been persuing this as a profession I think my team and I have accomplished a lot of the initial things needed to be done but we have a ways to go.

4. What are some recent achievements you’re proud of and would like to share?

I recently got he opportunity to record in the infamous Stankonia Studios in Atlanta, GA. This is home to the greats, Outkast. I record a record that featured OG’s in the game, Rapper Big Pooh (formerly of Little Brother) & Freeway (Formerly of Jay-Z’s Roc-a-fella Records). That was major for me. I was also featured in XXL Magazine.

5. What’s something that’s always running inside your mind lately?

I’m always focused on what more I could be doing. How can I work harder and get closer to my goals.

6. What would you spend a million dollars on?

Haha quite a lot of things. Family would be the first thing. I want to make sure my parents and my little brother are straight then I’d invest in some real estate, put some money in the bank, Blow some money on leisure items and then use the remainder to launch a foundation for charity.

7. What’s one incident that would serve as a turning point to your life?

When I quit my job and put finishing college on hold I realized it was all or nothing. I had to make this work if I wanted to have a chance of making something out of myself in this world.

8. What three pieces of advice would you give to others when it comes to life and career?

Love your life. Set goal, meet and exceed them and continue to learn more about yourself and the world you live in and try to experience as much as you can. No one can tell you no. Where there is a will there is a way and you can always make something happen for yourself but you have to believe in yourself first. Don’t wait for someone to co-sign you or pull you up. Be of use to yourself.

9. What have been some of your failures, and what have you learned from them?

Preparation is key. I used to rush to finish and release song/projects and as I’ve grown I’ve realized I really have to take the time to cultivate what I’m doing for my best interest.

10. What’s a typical day in your life like?

I’m a studio rat. Every waking chance that I get I’m in the studio writing, producing and/or recording music. Besides that I’m getting back into my work out days so I’ve been incorporating workouts into my schedule.

11. What’s one of the highlighting moments in your career? Why is it so?

It’s tied between releasing my debut album “Seconds Away” and making it into XXL’s print which was a result of the album release. My team and I put a crazy amount of time and energy into putting this project together and I was so proud to see it come to light and for the feedback to be as positive as it was.

When I found out “Seconds Away” had been reviewed by XXL and I was going to be featured in “The Break” Section I went crazy (in all honesty). This is magazine I grew up collecting so it was monumental for me to actually be featured in it for something I dreamt about doing since childhood.

12. What stops you from throwing in the towel and giving up during those frustrating days of being in this industry?

I know what and who I do it for. Music drives my soul. I love the craft beyond any of the superficial benefits. Its not about the money or the fame. Its about being able to create something that not only serves as a release for me but as inspiration to the world.

13. Biggest risk ever taken?

I began to travel a lot more while I was into my 3rd year of College. I decided to postpone finishing college so I could dedicate all my time to my music career as well as quitting my job. That was a really big risk for me but it has been paying off.

14. Who has influenced you most and been your greatest inspiration?

I’m inspired by life and those that have blazed trails before (in my respective craft) but my Mother has been one of my greatest inspirations. She’s such a strong and driven woman that you can’t help but be motivated by her.

15. How do you go about marketing your business or yourself? What has been your most successful form of marketing?

The internet is the biggest tool at my disposal. It’s honestly been the biggest platform for me to connect with people and to release and sell my music. I use social networks like Twitter & Facebook to directly connect with my fans and supporters. It allows them to see more into the kind of individual that I am.

16. What other artists inspired you and do you admire the most?

I’m a fan of forward thinkers. People (not just artists) that push the boundaries and look at things outside the box. I was always a fan of Tupac, J.Dilla, Nas & Jay-Z growing up. They’re the big reasons I create music the way I do.

17. How do you achieve balance in your life?

I honestly love life, I get a high from it. I love what I wake up and do everyday and I motivated to push myself and reach new heights. My faith in God keeps me grounded. I know that as long as I’m alive another day to do things different that all will be right eventually if not at that very moment.

18. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 10 years?

I still hope to be creating music. I plan to have achieved certain accomplishments in the industry and have amassed a certain fan base but I want to continue pushing the boundaries and reaching for more.

19. What’s the first thing you would say to the world if all attention was on you right now?

Prepare yourself, we’re about to shake things up for the better.
