Tell us about yourself, who are you and where do you come from?

I’m shy sometimes but once I feel comfortable most would say I’m the sweetest and loving human being. I always push positivity cause without it the world would be worst than it is now. I love music and basketball and want to help everyone around me be better. I come from Pensacola Fl I small town but full of talent and creatives. I hope to make my city and family proud one day.

How was your passion for music born? Who are your idols?

I grew up singing in the choir, I’m a big fan of musicals and music in general. It’s just something about words and music that makes my heart jump. I look up a lot to Kanye,Lauryn Hill,Missy Elliott,Dej Loaf and Drake. I feel they have inspired my sound the most.

What kind of music do you do?

It’s hard to describe most would say rap some would say pop, my friend gave it the name Z-Pop my own little genre. It’s really just me having fun with Melodie’s and trying not to sound the same as everyone else.

What is the most important song for you? What message do you want to convey to the listener?

I dropped a song called Joker years ago I still feel as if it’s one of my best songs lyrically. It’s really to the point, stop rapping about killing each other and actually rap. It’s too many songs promoting violence that gets to the younger audience and feed their minds with negativity, I try to detour from that and instill the fun and positive things in life. You don’t have to talk about how many bodies or women you have to be a star or have a hit song, it’s more to music than all that.

Why should a listener who doesn’t know you listen to your music?

Because it leaves you happy and that’s why people listen to music. To feel some sort of connection with the song and person. My music does that, its vibe and sonically hits. The right people just needs to hear it.

What are your future projects? Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?

I want to keep releasing singles and work on building an organic fan base. I see myself touring,healing the world, a lot of community work to make my hometown a better place. I see my music taking over the world I’m talking a lot of billboard 100 hits haha.

Tell our readers a funny episode that happened in your career as an artist.

I was on stage performing I got a little too hype and fell back it was a little embarrassing but I got up and kept performing as if nothing happened. I loved how the audience pretended like nothing happened too it felt good lol
