What is music to you? What does it give you?

Music gives me strength. Music is the reason that I believe in myself when no one else does. The ability to write my emotions and showcase my talents are the main reasons I even do it.

What is your music dream?

My dream is to be one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all-time. Not necessarily through net worth or other capital gains, But with connecting with fans and being able to empower people who otherwise would've doubted themselves.

If you could change the world - what would you start with?

All the negative people that try to put down people that strive for greatness.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Busta Rhymes - Look At Me Now

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Eminem, Royce Da 5'9, Hopsin

What inspires you to make music?

The lack of having things. Music also has become a normal part of my life, I find myself thinking of words while do the most random things.

What is the message you want to send with your music?

I want people to know that if I can ignore hate so can everyone else.

How do you feel when you perform in front of an audience?

Bit nervous, only because it's the first impression. But if I have people that already enjoy what I'm doing I can easily be me.

How do you see the musicians’ reality nowadays? What could be improved?

Streaming services are really taking money from artists compared to the past. If someone listens to a 12 song album all the way through the artist will make about $.12 through apple music. Meanwhile, If someone bought that album the artist would make $12. Those services need to pay artists more.

What do you think of Drooble?

I haven't used it yet but I really like it's layout and feel like it will be a good experience.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

I'm frustrated by some of the talents that's out now, specifically in rap. Nobody really cares much of the content of the song. Just a hard beat and autotune seems to do the trick.

Do you support your local scene as a fan? How?

I wish the best for everyone. The few people I've talked to are talented and I try to get their music out there and I hope they do the same for me.

What qualities should a musician nowadays have in order to get their music heard by a larger audience?

I have no clue. If I did I'd be using them. So far I'm sticking to being geniuine with what I'm thinking and I hope people will resonate with it
