(Q) What’s good? How long have you been a fan of music? And who might be some of your favorite music artist that influenced you to want to become an artist?

(A) I been busy in the studio making music just released a new single Maybe and finishing up the video right now.

I started singing around the age of five. many people thought I was just making noise, but I was singing from the heart singing along with commercials and songs.

I am influenced by Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Boys to men and many more.

(Q) Tell us about the day when you realized that you really had some talent? Was it a song that you recorded? Was it a verse that you wrote? Was it feedback from friends and family? What made you say making music and taking it seriously is what you wanted to do with your life?

(A) It was when I heard “Can We Talk” by Tevin Campbell. I knew this was what I wanted to do!

I would sing around my family and friends and one day i began singing at the top of his lungs and everyone became quiet, instead of telling me to “shut-up” everyone started clapping and encouraging me to sing.

When I sing, I am free and it releases all of my emotions. It is a therapy for me. My whole life people have told me that I have an anointing.

(Q) What’s your label situation? And how important is management to your career at this point and time?

(A) I am an unsigned artist and absolutely independent. Management means everything to me and without my team I do not know where I would be. My team really has my back and the world that is priceless!

(Q) From the beginning of your career till now what’s one of the most important lessons that you have learned in order for you to survive in this industry?

(A) The most important lesson that I have learned is to know the business, do not let others influence your artistry and do as much for yourself as possible.

(Q) What is the worst advice you see or hear given in the music industry?

(Q) What advice would you give other up and coming artist who’s out there grinding and doing their own thing as far as networking with other artist, producers and promoter’s?
