A. My career in music is my passion, I will work until I am the best at what I do. This means the world to me and I will give my everything to achieve that goal.

6. Have you ever thought about quitting music?

A. Never, I fell in love the moment I heard music. It was always a dream of mine to perform and I have already accomplished that 10 times over. From creating to editing and production I find myself in a place where I am constantly learning and evolving, quitting has not been on my mind in the slightest.

7. Who inspires you the most?

A. My friends and surroundings. Aside from my style that derives from multiple artists across several generations, the places I am and the people around me are the muse for my sound. Everything created is inspired from a real life situation. For example one song I wrote “Lemme Hold You” was a song about my ex girlfriend and the spite that goes with losing someone who you thought loved you.
