WHAT CHALLENGES HAVE YOU FACED ON YOUR MUSIC PATH; HOW DID YOU NAVIGATE?
"I run into a lot of people who guise themselves as artists; I hate speaking on this because nikks/folk think I'm talking about them. Lol I am if the shoe fits because they know who they are, but these people only want to tear down the greatness they see within other creatives. This is a journey, sadly, no matter who’s supporting, is a single road. But i just distance myself from people and or isolate lmao."
WHAT INITIALLY SPARKED YOUR PASSION FOR ART?
"I literally was born like this, ever since i could remember i had a pencil in my hand, my mother prides herself and telling me that i used to destroy her portraits as a baby when i found art utensils. I guess you can say i inherit my visual art talents from my mother."
==CAN YOU DESCRIBE A PIVOTAL MOMENTS THAT SIGNIFICANTLY SHAPED YOUR ARTISTIC PATH?==
"Honestly working with the very first producer i encountered, razzbrry aka Ryan Zuleta; covid hit and we both was passionate about making music lol we just didn’t take it seriously. Or at least we didn’t think so because we consistently made songs"
HOW DO YOU OVERSOME CREATIVE BLOCKS OR PERIODS OF SELF DOUBT?
I listen to my peers and hear what they have to say, a great underground Legend, Jelani Imani, once said ‘there isn’t a such thing as an art block/ writing block’ the way he continued to expound on that idea is a bit hard to replicate but after hearing it. I think he’s right, it just matters if this is what you want to do.
Who are your biggest influences, and how have they impacted your style?
"Man, ima say Chuck Ba$$, Tempal, Javion, Live 4eva, Davidthetragic, and Sterling. I know everyone would rather hear me drop some mainstream artists names but what i say is the truth. Each of these artists have a beautiful way of writing a song which inspires me constantly."
How do you balance artistic expression with commercial demands?
I go against the grain, always and forever will. Idgaf about what’s in demand, i listen to my heart and my mind; i take demands from those organs!
How do you stay inspired and continue to evolve in your craft?
I talk to my friends, I don’t invalidate no one, I play video games, I eat, I draw, I make clothes, I buy clothes, I go outside, I skate, I go out with friends, I try things I haven’t, I try to meet new people rarely though, I cook, I clean. I literally just live life
LOOKING BACK, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY IN YOUR ARTISTIC JOURNEY?
No everything I’ve experienced and done made me who I am today, whether that’s loved in the shadows and hated in the light. Or a person someone likes to call their peer. The past is important only if you’re reflecting on it for personal growth but if you’re just dwelling on shit you’re stuck.
