Rated Next baby!!! The majority of my songs are instrumentals, but the complete songs are coming soon. Im versatile, from hip hop to gangsta to pop to rnb/soul. And no, Im not a rapper, I sing.
The long-awaited debut album is FINALLY here!!! The cd, titled Don't Get It Twisted features Chicago rap duo KTW. Check back soon as I will be posting a few songs off the album!
Why this name?
Its my name of course!
Do you play live?
Blah Blah Blah
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It makes it really easy to get your stuff out there. A lot of artists wouldnt get heard if it wasnt for the net.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Hell yeah, I need to eat! Being signed with a major label gives the artist a chance to focus solely on the music. The unsigned, or independent artist had to do it all -- create, market, advertise, the whole 9. Thats makes the process a lot harder. Plus the major labels can reach audiences you cant because they have the money to get tv slots, posters, etc etc.
Band History:
I been doing my thing for 3 years now. But it wasnt until a year ago that I made a come up on some better equipment, since then I been gettin crazy with it.
My last show was April 30, 2005 @ the Ritz in Macomb, IL -- 6 songs off the Dont Get It Twisted album. They had it lookin like Girls Gone Wild up in there!!! Much love to all the fans out out there.
Your influences?
For my singing - Old school legends like Rick James, Smokey Robinson, etc. Plus I vibe with new cats like Maxwell, Jaheim, and R. Kelly.
As far as favorite producers... TiMBA">mbaland, Dr. Dre, Havoc from Mobb Deep (highly underrated!), Jim Jones (Dip set). There are so many, Just Blaze makes a classic from time to time and you cant forget Kanye.
Favorite spot?
CHI-TOWN
Anything else...?
I work with a lot of up and coming talent. Look out for KTW!
