Vertel eens iets over jezelf, wie ben je en waar kom je vandaan?

I would describe myself as a premier role player. I try to make myself available for whatever the setting calls for. From engineering and producing to songwriting and playing instruments, I never want to limit my musical contributions.

Hoe is je passie voor muziek ontstaan? Wie zijn je idolen?

I have had a natural gravitation to music for as long as I can remember, no genre was safe. I’ve always loved every part of a song from the lyrics to the instrumentation, it all felt so immersive. Artists like Andre 3000, 50 Cent, Kanye West, and J Cole really helped shape my musical palate.

Wat voor soort muziek maak je?

As an artist, I specialize in Hip Hop lyricism. As a musician, I spend most of my time compassing jazz on my tenor saxophone and drum set. As a songwriter, I genre-bend. I enjoy writing Pop, R&B, and Afrobeats for various artists around the world.

Wat is voor jou het belangrijkste nummer? Welke boodschap wil je overbrengen aan de luisteraar?

As cliche as it may sound, my most important song as yet to be released. I have so many demos of profound concepts that still need to be polished but in due time. My overall message to my audience has always been authenticity, being yourself at all times is a point I genuinely can’t stress enough.

Waarom zou een luisteraar die jou niet kent naar je muziek luisteren?

To support me is to support yourself. My music is about authenticity and remaining true to yourself so it really doesn’t take much to get behind a message that simple.

Wat zijn je toekomstige projecten? Waar zie je jezelf over 5 jaar?

I have recently planted my feet into the licensing/sync world so you can be prepared to hear me on some of your favorite shows and/or commercials. In the next 5 years I see myself with songwriting plaques from some of the best artists out both new and old.

Vertel onze lezers een grappige gebeurtenis in je carriĂšre als artiest.

I can recall meeting Trey Songz in the studio one time to chop it up and play some new music for him. At the time, the studio suite only had me and my engineer in it but shortly after Trey arrived it felt like every woman in the building was crammed into this suite.
