It’s an honor to speak with you today. Why don’t you give us some details about you and your story. How did you get to where you are today?
I started off as a boxer. It really was my day-in day-out passion that I couldn’t get enough of. Trained 6 out of 7 days til one point I trained too hard and crushed both of my feet and ankles. I was unable to walk right or stand on my own for close to 9 months and nearly lost myself. Only thing that really kept me going was music and I came to see that as a way I could help others in similar mindsets. The same energy I put into boxing I channeled into music, writing and pushing myself out there relentlessly. Nothing I have today came easily but thats what makes it worthwhile.
I’m sure your success has not come easily. What challenges have you had to overcome along the way?
Going from a fighter to basically a business is a big switch that took a lot of learning and adjusting. Budgeting, advertising, and the occasional writers block. That was really all new to me but same as back in the ring, you can’t sit still, you have to adapt and change up if you want to win and get ahead.
Let’s talk about the work you do. What do you specialize in and why should someone work with you over the competition?
Im a songwriter and Hip Hop artist. I really specialize in lyrical motivation with a story laid in the background. Its not something you really hear in music today, message driven lyrics, everybody focuses on fame and money and street life. Nobody focuses on the mindset to make that life a reality.
What’s your best piece of advice for readers who desire to find success in their life?
Best piece of advice I can give anyone in any field, is if you want it, don’t ever quit until you are where you want to be and push one more step further. Nothing ever comes from quitting, but anything can come from perseverance.
Speaking of success, what does the word mean to you?
Success? Success is where you can look in the mirror and be proud of what you’ve done. Success is when you don’t have to think twice about the impact you’ve made and are making on the world simply by existing. Success is a level of freedom that isn’t just financial but spiritual and emotional. A destination as long as a journey, that most only see part of.
What’s next for you?
Next for me is a series of singles leading up to my next solo album, one focused on impact and striving for a long lasting effect.
