What would you do differently if you were starting in your industry now?
I’m learning to stay alert & not to put too much on myself I’m passionate about my work it’s art what I’m learning is not to get a big head like I don’t have room to grow knowledge is power & I want to always soak in-game meaning I’m very laid back but I feel like if I would’ve started earlier when I wrote my first song I would’ve been ahead but I procrastinated
Which people or books have had the most influence on your growth and why?
I’ll say Nicki she’s bold and outspoken she always does her own thing & for a while, she fought for her spot I love that because it taught me to never settle. I know it might be challenging but that’s what makes me hungry for it I look at a lot of interviews of the artist I listen to you get a different vibe it gives you a better understanding of an artist

Consistency because you don’t have to be perfect as long you stay at it & stay teachable it’s always room to grow
Talk about the biggest failure you’ve had. What did you learn from it?
My biggest failure was not having a backup plan for my first show meaning not bringing a plan b if my shoe broke I took it as a learning lesson because as I look back at my performance the energy was there I just didn’t pick my feet up as much as I should’ve.
What has been your biggest success story?
My biggest success story would be believing I could be who I wanna be without anyone’s validation I’ve always been different so why not stand out completely I’ve gotten my first video done by myself I felt as if I needed more people with me to make my video all that but it’s all about me the crowd will come & go but it’s all about being independent I think it was successful because I gave it all I gotta & was very unapologetically myself.
What keeps you going when things get tough in the music industry?
How bad I want to change my current situation I don’t see myself working for anyone I’ve always been a boss not saying I can’t learn from anyone but I’m not a yes man I want to come & go as I please I’m all about bettering myself so certain situations I just sit back on & do my homework meaning looking at the pros & cons of how it would benefit my growth on where I want to go
What made you pursue being an artist full-time?
Being hungry for my own everything I grew up struggling all my life & I want to one day give my family everything they could dream of
Would you sign to a label?
I’m not sure yet I’ll have to make sure it’s not a jacked up deal I’ve seen a lot of artists get black balked after a while I want to have a bond with my label I’m always willing to work hard but I want to make sure we all eat as we suppose to fairly
What projects are you working on for the rest of 2022?
