What strengths do you have that you believe make you a great musician?

Strengths that I believe make me a great musician would be a handful of things. I'm a perfectionist, so I demonstrate my hard work with everything I do musically. From the creative process, to the rehearsal of my craft.

Who inspired you to make music?

As far as who inspired me, well my entire family has a lot of musical influence. So it wasn't a hard decision for me to follow suit with the same desires.

Your latest track is 'Keep It Direct'. Can you share with us the background of its creation and did any unusual things happen during its creation?

My creative process for Keep It Direct is the same for any song I create. Once I hear the beat in the first few seconds. If the words don't start running through my mind I skip the beat. However, once I heard the beat for this song. The rest was history.

What is your creative process like?

My creative process involves me in a location where I'm alone and I can put my headphones on and write in my notebook. To get my creativity going, I typically freestyle. Almost like when you do a pre workout before a sports game. Once I do that my mind is more open to create music.

What is the biggest decision you’ve had to make?

The biggest decision I've had to make, if it's pertaining to music, is that I stopped depending on people I know to get me where I needed to be. It might come off a certain way to someone else but I felt once I took charge of my own decisions, everything else fell into place of what I needed done.

What makes you different from others?

I feel my difference is that I don't try to cater or fit in with the latest sound that's out. I do to the best of my ability to put substance into my music and most importantly do it in my own way.

What is one message you would give to your fans?

To the fans, I appreciate any and every single person that takes the time out to listen and turn up to any of my music. From the beginning to now. I'm truly humbled and overly blessed.

How do you feel the Internet has impacted the music business?

The impact of the internet is a blessing and a curse in my opinion. Where the access and the resources
are more attainable in today's society. But on the other side most people don't use it to its fullest ability for their benefit.

What is the first thing you think of when you wake up?

The first thing I think of when I wake up is, Thank you God for waking me up for another day. I pray, then I start my day.

What are your plans for the future?

My plans for the future is to keep making music but primarily I want to expand in my other endeavours.
Such as video making, editing, photography, drawing, etc.
