What shaped your music?
My life the shit I went through shit I’m currently going through I don’t create fiction or tell stories that I didn’t live
When did you realize you were going to make music professionally?
You know growing up I always wanted to be a artist but then running the streets and making some real money I kind of put “ GETTIN ON” to the back like I just made music because it was what I did but my pops passed away and he was the reason I started doing music he was my biggest my biggest support in my career so originally it was my distraction to be writing and recording how I was but then I started to get hot again so I decided to get back serious and put 100% into it and make it my career like I wanted to when I was younger, I legitimize my label and went all in
What type of music do you listen to?
I listen to all music except heavy metal! Nothing against it I just can’t get into it but I don’t discriminate if it got a vibe to it I’m a turn it up
What inspires you to write music?
EVERYTHING!! I be in conversation wit the Mail man and something they say make me start thinking of bars In my head I don’t know some time I think I’m going to far wit it lol
What do you do when you don’t do music (creative or otherwise) and that you are passionate about?
I’m never not doing music this is full time but if I’m not creating it I’m promoting and or marketing it and since learning the ins and outs of marketing and promoting I started to enjoy that side of the business so when I’m not on something for my project I’m working on something for one of the artist on GROUND OF BOSSES
Happiness to you is…
knowing what I’m doing is noticed and weather it made you dance or motivated you to go to the gym or let you you’re not the only person dealing with something! When people hit me about a song I made I feel good because music is a universal language you won’t find to many people who don’t like music if any.
What do you wish you were told when you first started making music that you think would help artists just starting out?
Nothing I was told but something me and myw engineer say to eachother “there’s no rules” and I feel like when you create with that in mind you start to create off of instinct not off of what you think people want to hear I tell everybody “be you in your music ”
