What advice would you give anyone preparing to enter the music business about publishing and management? It’s not about me, it’s about the musical integrity! I don’t care if you have a fan base of 2 people or 2 million, if you fit the record, you fit the record and let’s go! I only want to tap into whatever your strengths are as an artist, because if we are working together I want you to shine just as much as I do on the record. Like I feel like I can see the talent in you, and mold it to fit the needs of whatever record that I have for you. One of my strengths is bringing out the best in artists, I think. How do you select your creative music partners to fashion your musical voice.

From that I’ll go back and pick what parts I might actually want to take into a full song and that’s how my music is being created now. But by doing this I was putting way to many limits on myself & not allowing the creativity to take over. I used to sit down and go (1 st verse, chorus, 2 nd verse, and chorus…blah blah).

I would call myself the “People’s Rapper.” Like once you hear my music you can say to yourself, “Damn … that’s true.” … Or “man, bruh just like me, some days I hate going to my job too.” If I could go back and do it all over again, I would for sure learn the piano. When I was in the sixth grade I played the clarinet, but I gave that up pretty fast. Like it’s my job to make sure that after I leave this stage you want to know more about me! And what’s the name of that song you just performed. I also love the challenge that comes with performing as a new artist. That rush, nervousness, butterflies, all of that energy right before you go on stage is such an indescribable feeling. I have my MBA in marketing, so everything that I’ve done that does not consist of music revolves around sales. I was a cashier at Dollar General, which we all later got fired, because the manager was allowing us to take so much stuff home at the end of the night (long story) … Krystal’s, McDonald’s, Popeye’s for a day (another long story).Īfter college though, all of my jobs have consisted in Sales. Describe three other occupations you’ve held.
