Let’s dive a little deeper into You, the artist and your music. What attracted you to this genre(s) or style(s)?

Hip Hop and Rap has always been my favorite. 90s baby. Developed my style with hate of being “Labeled” and called the same. Had a little harmony which leads to me loving and making pop and pop rap.

What led you into this journey with music? And further, what drives you to push it out to the public?

Musically talented family is what I was born into. Curiosity drove me to learn more. The love and dream to take care of my family (Who I thank life for) Push me to do more.

Who or what influences your creativity? Have your tastes in music changed over time?

Life influences my music. Troubles regular people face. How hard working people live and survive.
