When did you first get inspired to become a rapper and how did you get discovered as a artist?
I started rapping around the age of 11. After getting a karaoke machine for Christmas. I recorded my tapes then took them to school for my homies to check out. I come from a musical family so it was inevitable that I'd get involved one way or another.
What genre of music do you do and how is it different from other artists in the same genre?
I've done everything from Hip Hop, pop, rock, to R&B. What I'm doing now is a blend of everything over soulful, trip hop, classic hip hop type beats. I keep a catchy hook with unpredictable flow patterns and clever lyrics. It's different because most artist have boundaries. I don't believe in boundaries. My shit is limitless.
Were you inspired throughout your career, if so who inspired you in the music industry growing up and why?
I've always been inspired by my personal experiences but artists like Bob Marley, Michael Jackson and Tupac inspired me most. These are artist whose influence spread worldwide. Seeing them be larger than life always made me wanna be the best me.
