Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Performing live in front of people is an experience that I will NEVER forget. Although I spent twenty five years on the sides, on, or around of stages. before and after the main event. being involved in setting up for extremely famous and world-renowned artists/performers/musicians alike. The excitement of performing was nothing like I expected. I spent so much time collaborating and conversing with different artists. Past end, present to learn how they became the artist they are now. Maybe expecting to get a sense of how it feels to be the spotlight. But I had no idea! I still never felt the excitement and nervousness of having hundreds and even thousands of eyes on just me, until I started performing with Remedy Records Inc., the original group I started music with. We've done several local performances in bars and small establishments, but there were a couple of shows that stood out to me that definitely got my adrenaline going, was when we sold out the performance at the Roxy and market 41. I remember that I was so nervous did I even started trembling. So I had to dance around and stay moving just so the crowd didn't catch that. From the start of the song, all the wait till the end.The crowd gradually started apploding louder and louder, which calmed my nerves down more and more. It's hard to explain, but it is has such a powerful feeling. The vibe from the audience as you're on stage can be overwhelming. So I give props to artists who perform daily or go on tours.
Your musical influences
My favorite artists growing up were Three 6 Mafia because their instrumentals were ahead of its time, and by far, the best sound blending I ever heard. I was obsessed with their sound, and my favorite lyricist was Brother Lynch Hung, for his raw and descriptive style in his music, rapping about cannibalism, drugs and gang life, explicit in a way that no artist had the courage to do at the time. I wrote my music and geared my style to sound like these artists. My current theme I like to put into my music is the pain and struggles I went through in my life with drugs and near death experiences, homelessness, addiction, and the ways I overcame them. I also make R&B/love songs based on my perception/experiences in the relationships I had in life, kids, betrayal, infidelity, and insane stories of the things I've done or been through. Then, putting every piece of it into my music.
