I chose my birth name because I just wanna be as real as possible. I just don't want to get caught up in a false name. When a person thinks of me, I want them to really know me, and really know what I'm about.

I've played live a few times before, at talent shows and in church, but I've just recently became extremely serious about a life in music.

Mp3's are changing the music industry extremely, because now instead of purchasing a full cd just for one song, a person can purchase that one song. Mp3's are the future, because while there are cd singles, no one really wants to carry that many cds around with them. An mp3 can be placed on a player that's as small as a credit card, and that's really beneficial. Now as far as the internet goes, the number one thing that it does for the industry is get the music out to a broader audience. That can help sales and even the popularity of the artists.

Of course, If God sends me the opportunity, I will gladly take it.

I've always loved Whitney Houston, Stevie Wonder, Babyface, Shanice, Janet Jackson, Brandy, Aaliyah (RIP),Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins, Brian Michael Cox, Missy, Case, Donell Jones, some of my new favorite artist are The Dream, Johnta Austin and Ne-Yo (Who Is A Musical Genius.) I just love so many types of music and artist, it's hard to choose a couple.
