Tell us about your background and how did you get into music?
I’ve been in love with music ever since I can remember! I used to write little raps to beats I heard on the radio and tried to rap over them. Of course, it was hard, but I was a kid, lol. As I came into my teen years, I met a few people that had a recording studio. My very first time recording was a little weird, but I quickly got the hang of it. You know, writing raps and the actual recording process are two different things. I started to do shows in Miami when I moved there for a little while and eventually got my own studio equipment and taught myself how to record and further establish my sound. It took me a few months trying to master how to mix and master my own music. once I got it down, it was on since then.
Where are you from?
I grew up in Los Angeles, but I also moved up to the Bay Area and lived there for a while, back and forth. I went to Florida for a while as well. I’ve been all over the place, man, but the base is California though.
Who are your inspirations?
Nipsey Hussle, Tupac, Bob Marley, and some of the other legends are big inspirations for me.
Is any new music coming out?
I recently dropped a single called “Eyes” on all platforms. I’ll have an EP dropping soon as well. And after, I just may work on an album. We will see how that goes after the first project. But to be honest, I have 100s of songs that aren’t released through the days I started recording myself, so really, I have enough to put a few projects together.
