I've been in music for about 15 years now. I wrote my first song on a dare from my cousin that I couldn't write a good rap and the rest was history. I got approached by MCA Records a few years back, but I turned it down. I love doing music because, to me, it's another form of experssion.... not much, different from poetry.
Why this name?
Um, lets see.... its my name.
Do you play live?
I haven't played live in a minute. Right now I just do it for the love.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Man, the internet gives people like me an opportunity to express and be seen and heard without all the b.s. red tape of having to be signed (which is extremely hard and somewhat overrated).
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Maybe... but I'm not 20's so I don't know if there's a market for someone like me... who knows. But at this point, its all love anyway. I'm not even trying to pursue a contract anyway.
Your influences?
Man, don't ask that... the list is too long:
Marvin Gaye (One of the greatest ever)
Jay Z
2 Pac
Luther Vandross
Kanye West
Biggie Smalls
Freeway
Jill Scott
D'Angelo

Equipment used:
PC and the gifts God gave me.
Anything else...?
I'm me. I've always done music as I was moved to do it. Thats part of the reason most people say that they love the feeling in my music. It comes from me in a soulish way... its hard to explain.
