How would you describe your sound or artistic style to someone hearing you for the first time?
My sound for those that don’t know has that southern rap feel with energy, no autotune!
When did you first realize you wanted to pursue music (or art) seriously?
I always pursued music seriously just needed the right opportunity to present itself!
Who or what are your biggest influences, both musically and outside of music?
My biggest influences are my wife and kids, my family period. Musically, 2 Pac & Trick Daddy!
How does your personal life or background shape your creative process?
It gives me the push I need and makes my love for music more passionate & stronger!
Can you walk us through your creative process from idea to finished project?
I usually hear a beat and come up with the hook first, then proceed to the verses, record-mix-
master by myself in my home studio!
What has been the biggest challenge you’ve faced so far as an emerging artist?
My biggest challenge is having the finances to fund my music career, it’s like no one really
believes in you unless you already got some real money!
What moment in your journey made you feel like this could really become something big?
When I got my first independent record deal with Sound of Atlanta record label in 2000 (R.I.P
Gene Griffin)!
How do you balance staying authentic while also thinking about growth and visibility?
I always been an authentic person I can’t and don’t fake being me for nobody. I’m older so what
you see is what you get!
What themes or emotions do you find yourself returning to in your work?
I stay true to my roots and that’s keeping my music energized and real!
What sets you apart from other artists coming up right now?
For one I don’t and try my best not to use autotune and / or sound like this or that person! I’m
original I feel!
Is there a song, project, or piece of work that feels especially personal to you? Why?
Yeah my new single “Cookin Up” is that one. The reason being is I’m always in the studio
working on something so it’s like I won’t stop because the love I have for it!
What have you learned about yourself since starting to share your work publicly?
I feel I’ve learn I need to be a lil more social but at the same time keep my music authentic!
If you could collaborate with any artist right now, who would it be and why?
Aww man, right now I would say Trick Daddy all the way! I feel our energy would match in the
booth!
What can listeners or viewers expect from your upcoming releases?
More energy advertising and a few new videos &
