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

Iโ€™m shy sometimes but once I feel comfortable most would say Iโ€™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.

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

I grew up singing in the choir, Iโ€™m a big fan of musicals and music in general. Itโ€™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.

Wat voor soort muziek maak je?

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

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

I dropped a song called Joker years ago I still feel as if itโ€™s one of my best songs lyrically. Itโ€™s really to the point, stop rapping about killing each other and actually rap. Itโ€™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 donโ€™t have to talk about how many bodies or women you have to be a star or have a hit song, itโ€™s more to music than all that.

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

Because it leaves you happy and thatโ€™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.

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

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 Iโ€™m talking a lot of billboard 100 hits haha.

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

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
