Why this name?
I just dropped my last name :)
Do you play live?
I am currently performing live all around the city of Chicago, and the surrounding suburbs. Performances that stand out in memory were at the DuSable Museum and with a live band an intimate club called Paje.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet has changed the industry tremendously. Now artists have a medium other than the radio, to gain exposure and share their music with the world. On a negative note, the internet has been detrimental to music because of the ability to illegally obtain msic.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, I would. These days, although, there are different options other than simply signing a deal with a major label. There are distribution deals and subsidiary possibilities. But given the right opportunity, I would take it.
Your influences?
I dislike this question because it implies 'who do you sound like' or 'who do you mimick'. I try hard to sound like no one out right now. My voice is distinct. As artists, I respect those who I feel really sing with their hearts so I'd say Beyonce and Alicia Keys.
Favorite spot?
I love Chicago
