Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
It really began when I would freestyle remix the lyrics to other people music in a parody type of way. From there I eventually began writing my own raps by the time I was 13 years old (2009). My music most definitely went through many phases as I wanted to be great at all genres enough to never place myself in a box. I mostly stick to Rap, but have spent a great deal of time applying both Rap & RnB on the same record.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I've performed in front of audiences many times. This one time in particular was at a club that I couldn't get in. I was on someone else set, but I wasn't old enough to go through the doors. So I waited outside for hours until the bouncer heard the person on stage call for my name. He let me in the club and I turned all the way up! Everyone that was sitting down or at the bar, moved towards the stage.
