My stage name is Mista V. I am just a brother that has the ability to put my life experience along with the experience of others in my music. I believe as an artist you should always say the things that people are scared to say but often think about. I wouldn't call myself a one dimensional person. I'm like a diamond the more you examine a brother; the more sides you may notice. I think people all over have some life experiences in common. I know about loss, I know about trying to survive as a black man in this world. I know about barely escaping death although many people I grew up with didn't. Before you diss and dismiss check a brother out.
