Three things we don’t know about you?

I used to play the trumpet.

I have a scar on my stomach with deep history.

As a child I dressed up in superhero costumes and would reenact action scenes from different movies feeling invincible, but without the costumes I couldn’t do the same.

Define you in five words.

Charismatic, motivational, intuitive, goofy, intellectual

Favorite pre-studio traditions?

Favorite pre studio traditions usually involve repeated listening to the tracks I’m going to record or listening to my past tracks learning how to go and improve or bring another prospective.

  Define The Music Industry 

The music industry in my opinion is a business that dwells and focuses less on the talent and skill but more on the profits and trends. Hosting many shady characters and double personalities. It’s a place where you must sell out something in order to gain everything.

Any media personalities/artists you would like to work with?

I’d love to work more with TheLunchTable, Foggie Raw, Geron, IDK, TheDMVDaily, Black Haze, and other gifted artists/media personalities in the DMV area.

Any Shout outs?

Shouts out to God for bringing me this far into what I am gifted in, John (LivengoodLivin) for this opportunity, my guy  DJ Andre Mykal for believing me way back when I was a 13 year old kid with a light voice and the dream to get on the mic. Much love to all my family and support system who’s built me up along the way.
