Full Q&A along with links and music below.

Where are you from and what style of music do you create? (In your own words, not necessarily in marketing terms or by popular genre classifications.)

What led you down this path of music and what motivates you to keep going?

How is this new release different than previous ones? Were you trying to accomplish anything specific?

My latest release Black Business available on all streaming platforms.. I would consider different from my previous project because of the times we are living in with the pandemic and protesting going on ya know.. it’s a state of emergency that’s why I chose to release the project on 9/11

Name one or two challenges you face as an indie musician in this oversaturated, digital music age? How has technology helped you (since we know it does help)?

One challenge with the digital music age is making sure you don’t get scammed.. lol..no people don’t get to see you in person too much.. and when I sold my music on the streets people can see you and feel out who you are.. the upside you don’t have to deal with to many people and you can be at more than one place at a time if you have the resources to invest or make a push on the internet.. find placement or get put on the shelf pretty much

What was the last song you listened to?

Lol… The Pot by Tool.. one of my favorite bands

Which do you prefer? Vinyl? CDs? MP3s?

All 3…. but most likely MP3s

How about this one…. Do you prefer Spotify? Apple Music? Bandcamp? Or something else? Why?

I prefer Spotify just because of access..

Where is the best place to connect with you online and discover more music?
