• Favorite venues performed at? Now I haven't performed my music to any one but my family and close ones, but I'm on it. Ey but I aint got stage fright cause I went to a performing arts school and was a drama major for all middle school. Hey I was on stage plenty of times and been seen as I acted. One of my favorites stage performances at that school was airbands. Man did I move the crowd and get major love. Also before middle school, I was in a signing group which got the chance to sing the national anthem at Qualcom Stadium at a Padres game. Haa. So know I'm on it to come to a stage near you with my music too.
•Least favorite? Never had one.
•How have you gotten gigs? Ummm, not yet because I've been broke but its all adding up with this music and I'm meeting people that I know that have and that are gonna be a big part of helping me out with this music. So as we slowly get out there with the patience I'm hoping I get a couple to the point where I'm getting up with my sound as it travels.
• Has your music changed at all since you started? It has but only because I am getting better. It aint stopping either cause I learn myself more and more everyday. So its bound to keep changing as in getting better with my recording and flows. Only because I always see what more I can do to make my music sound hard.
• Biggest challenge? Challenge? What challenge? ... Haa. Nah just playing. Ummm I have to go with life. Cause believe it or not, rapping aint doing nothing to help me at the moment but I know if I keep showing love and dedicating myself more and more which I am. Its gonna pay off. But besides that, with music there is no challenge. Its easy and I love working on it.
• Where do you want to go? Fame/fortune? Or just staying local? I wanna go all over the world, to your country, your state, your city, your town. Shoot fame as in being known with this music and being wanted for my talent, but not being bugged with my personal life. Fortune? If it comes it will be meant to come but it would be nice living financially established. Right? Haa. And with the local part? Nah that's not enough.
• Any advice for other people who are trying to make it in the game? Don't do this music game dirty and keep it real. No fakes wanted. No offense.
• What is your website? Or how else can fans get to hear your music? Look up this kid and his productions on youtube.com/brntproductions760,

•Anything else you would like others to know? Here I come watch out. BRNT Familia 760, San Diego, California up. Much love and respect to Elizabeth Pichardo for giving me this opportunity. Very much appreciated. Keep doing your thing home girl and stay up with your talents. Outros. Peace.

• Genre? Hip Hop
Influences? I have a couple influences in my life. My main one is my mother, you knowW. Gotta show love to your moms. We go through our stuff but its because I'm mess up over things I need to get straight. Haa. But I also have my uncle and my cousin showing me that its about wanting more and if you want it get it. They both have they're ways in schooling me.
• What makes you unique? I believe that that I stand out with my style. I got experiences that I know many people have gone through which they can relate to. You know what I mean? I rep and rap about kicking it and aiming for the top. Cause that's what I do, kick it living my way going through my things and having my goals just like anyone else. People love knowing they can do what they please as long as they're on they're goals trying.
• How did you start rapping? I can't lie, I have to shout out my boy enemy. Much love foolio. Back in my hometown vista, CA we used to kick it and he would show me his raps and how he would record. I was into hip hop but I was more into graffiti to the max. But I was getting in trouble doing what I loved trying to get noticed. Getting up, being known. I needed to find a different way of getting up but without getting in trouble for it. I went to school with a bunch of chill fools but they were into the same thing. Graffiti and some even. gang banging. Then there were these fools that rap'd and were know by a lot of other people. And my boy enemy came to mind because we used to rap back in my hometown. Cause hey I knew I could do better. Now I aint being cocky but I knew I could. My mom has always known I loved music and wanted to be a rapper when I grew up. So my 18th birthday was around the corner and I was asked what I wanted for my birthday. My mom wanted to just get me a tv, but I was like for what to sit around? Haa. So the mic came to mind and I explained how I would get creative and be more active with it. Hey, she was down with is and boom I looked into it and had my personal kit since and been on it since.

I love you mucho. She had plans and dreams. And one thing that she always did no matter what was keep us, her family taken care of. From love to making sure we were good and doing right in life. "Manacha" her word after she would check us if we were being bad. But where I'm coming from with this is that I wanna make sure my family is taken care of and doing good in life. The loving? Haa. They know what's good with that.
