1.Where did your music career begin?
It all began with poetry as far as my writing process goes. But what really inspired me to do music is my father’s side of the family. I have a cousin that raps and my dad is actually a pretty good singer who played lots of different music as I was growing up.
2. How long have you been doing music?

3. Since the beginning of your music career all the way up until now what would you say are some of your biggest accomplishments?

I want it to be right and not rushed. I'm also hoping to do a video for at least one song off of K.I.N.G...
10. What advice would you give to any artist whose trying to go in the same direction as yourself?
Be yourself, do what feels right, keep working hard, keep challenging and pushing yourself and most importantly take all feedback as criticism to better yourself and your works and pray, pray, pray Because God makes it all possible.
