-How long have you been creating music?

I have been composing music since the age of 10. I am now 25.

-As a DJ and producer, how do you find a balance between both? Or is there a natural balance?

I don't think I have found the consistent balance of being a music producer and DJ because you never know when one of your services will be requested. I just stay ready to produce and perform at all times.

-You've been DJing for Vic Spencer. How's it been working with him? How did you two decided to connect?

Vic Spencer is the big brother I've never had. He is authentic and hard working. Vic asked me to be his DJ when I returned from NYC performing this past May. Kei Morris really convinced us both to make it happen.

-Since the last time I talked to you there was a focus on F.A.M. Is that still a focus?

No more F.A.M, for me, at least. I don't know what they are up to now, but I wish them the best.

-You now have a distribution deal with Cigar City. How did this come about? 

Randy Ojeda of Cigar City Management offered me the deal back in August. I signed in November. CCM has always shown me love and support. I trust that they will help me reach a new level in my music career.

-You're also partnering with Kobalt. Who are they and what are the details behind this team up?

Kobalt Musis is also distributing my work in 2017. They are one of the biggest publishing companies out now.

-After the deal what's next? Any new projects you're working on?

I'm working several Chicago & New York City artists. I'm also receiving new sponsors for my DJ sets. New projects, singles, merchandise, website, & shows coming soon!

-What inspires your musical process?

There are so many factors that inspire me musically. I am just blessed I am around hard working individuals who genuinely believe in me. Everyone doesn't have the support they need which makes it difficult for some to prosper in life.
