RESPECT.: When did the importance of self love and individuality come in? How?

It was always instilled in me at a young age from both my parents pushing the importance of it but it never resonated until I started finding myself as a person. That transitioned into me personalizing my flows, looks eventually, and the way I carry myself in & outside of music.

RESPECT.: What difficulties do you find in being a 24 year old music artist and how do you overcome them?

Most difficult thing is finding and balancing budgets to execute the right moves to effectively get the music heard. There are always free ways I find but having bills and putting money behind a career is a task in itself.

RESPECT.: What is your ideal music career?

Being a music mogul, topping charts, classic collaborations, giving back to the world and my family.

RESPECT.: How do people respond to your music?

People respond to my music with joy mainly because of the freeness and positivity. Its more of an outlet and way out of reality for people because it usually puts people in a Euphoria.

RESPECT.: What was it like for you growing up? When did you switch into music. Do you remember your first steps?

It was pretty easy at times for me growing up. My parents always kept me spiritually sound and around my siblings. Those things are important to us and a big part of what made me I’d say. We were allowed to freely express our talents when the time came to see what we liked and what we didn’t. I switched into writing my own music in high school as a freshman. Was always in choir under my mom and grandma and my dad was in the studio himself. That’s what got me into writing my own music. My Dad had his own studio and invited me to come see what it was about. Fell in love with it ever since.

RESPECT.: I see you can sing as well. Can you list all your talents/skills for me?

I song write, produce, make beats, and I know how to engineer as far as the basics when it comes to music. I do photography, mentor, and a bunch of other talents.
