1. What made you decide to jump into the music industry or music business?
I always was into music a child. I remember writing lyrics since I was 10 & my mom finding notebooks of written lyrics in her house. My uncle does music so it runs in the family. There is something about music that keeps me sane. Music is something passionate artists do to express themselves
2. What do you think makes you stand out from all the other aspiring and upcoming artists in your genre of music?
I just don’t stick to one sound of music. I think you should reach all genres of music. Hip-hop is the most influential genres of music!

I would say versatile because I don’t stick to one sound. I can switch up my flow on a track. I’m not scared to be different;
4. What do you think is your biggest Advantage and your biggest Disadvantage about being an Indie artist?
Being independent is amazing because you know you did it all by yourself & you’re not under a contract so you own your rights, royalties & masters. The only disadvantage is that you it will take you longer to get notice being independent
5. Do you prefer the Independent route or would you rather sign to a major record label, and why?
I choose independent because you have control of the music you put out. It feels good to know that you can accomplish a lot without a major label because you have control of your creativity.
6. Out of all the songs you’ve released, what do you think is your Best song and why?
Make it last forever is the best song I created because I feel like everyone can vibe to it & it’s remake of Keith Sweat’s song. It’s a song that all ages love. I feel like people wanted some dope music so I can look my time with it & and it came out incredible.
