1. How was it growing up in Birmingham, AL in the entertainment industry?
It’s a cool scene to be on, it really opened a lot of doors for me. Not just in music, was able to meet a lot of cool people through modeling, musical theater and poetry who really helped me grow and learn more about the industry.
2. What made you actually drop out of college to pursue your music career?
I didn’t have the money to continue towards the next semester. So I had to leave but luckily around the same time I left I met a good friend who was already part of the music industry. He became my first manager and was willing to teach me everything I needed to know. Funny part about it I learned more from him and how to move forward a lot more efficiently then my friends that was in college did at the time. So I ended up being ahead of the game.
3. Do you regret dropping out to pursue your music career?
No. In the beginning I was down about it but looking back on it now it was a really good move for me to make.
4. Do you feel your degree would of been a good thing to have to fall back on?
Not really. The thing I learned my first day of college is it’s not what you know but who you know. Networking is key, and if your good at that you can go anywhere you want.
5. Since you grew up in the entertainment world do you feel this gives you an advantage in the music industry?
Yes, a lot of rappers are just that, rappers. It’s a difference between someone who gets on stage and entertain verses someone who gets up and just raps. Me being able to grow around people who actually put on a show really showed me how to entertain and put on a show myself, so the audience doesn’t get bored and feel like the spent there money on a great experience.
6. What do you love most about the entertainment world and making music?
I like being able to bring people into my world and see a different view of things. Being able to musically express not only my emotions but thoughts as well. The ability to bring life to the things that can be hard for me to explain in everyday conversation. We all have a different view point of life, and some can express theirs better than others. However when I’m able to express it through a song or being on stage and people are able to receive everything I’m putting out. It lets me know that my voice along with many others are being heard.
7. Since you have been doing music since a young child, do you feel your career is going in the right direction?
Yes, I do. I’ve always felt I was destined for greatness and I’ve had trials, tribulations and set backs, but now at this point in my life I feel I’m on the right track and it’s only a matter of time
8. Besides performing at clubs and venues do you feel it’s more you can do to advance your career?
Definitely, there’s always more work to be done. I’m nowhere near where I want to be just yet however I can see the future in the horizon
9. Out of the multiple singles released which one do you feel gained you the most exposure and why?
My single “Toxic Baby”. I righteous couldn’t tell you why it gained more exposure than my other tracks (not saying my other tracks aren’t good). I had a good feeling about it even throughout the writing process, but I just didn’t know it would bring me as far as it has and continue to do.
10. The R Report would like to thank you for taking the time out for this interview. Is it anybody you would like to shout out or thank?
Thank you for having me I righteous appreciate it and I would like to shoutout God, my homie Y.G. Lil’Nyne, Rinakreeps and her whole team for the opportunity and all my supporters and fans for believing in the mission and rocking with me. #Damnijustlovethisshit
