WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE GAME?
I just want to bring my aspect on life to the world. And at the same time bring back the substance and originality the industry once had. I don't like to talk about what I'll do. I'd rather people just see it.
WHO ARE SOME OF YOUR MUSICAL INFLUENCES?
Michael Jackson, Prince, The Police, Phil Collins, Sade, Coldplay, OutKast, U2, R. Kelly, Elton John, Hall & Oates... I just love music and sound, the feeling I get when I hear something that moves me. I just can't discrminate.
WHO/WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
Just life experiences. What I've seen and been through, what's going on now, and what I see for my future. Being alive is enough inspiration for me.
WHAT’S YOUR OPINION ABOUT THE STATE OF MUSIC?
I feel music is missing something. Not "the game" but music in general. Originality is slowing slipping away and labels are trying to control every aspect. But the upside to this is these new artist starting from the ground up have a better chance of creating their career their way.
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU’RE GOING TO SUCCEED?
I KNOW i will succeed because my God given talent mixed with my team and our grind = success
WHEN DID YOU REALIZE YOU LOVED MUSIC MORE THAN THE AVERAGE PERSON?
At a very very very young age. Can't even remember. My mother says I used to cry whenever she would turn a radio off.
IT NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME AT HOW RAPPERS CAN JUST GO OFF THE TOP WHEN FREESTYLIN... HOW DOES THAT WORK FOR YOU, DO YOU JUST SAY AIIGHT IMA GO ON THIS TOPIC OR DOES IT JUST COME TO YOU AS YOUR SPITTIN?
It just comes to me. When I'm recording I freestyle but I can always stop my self and go back. I haven't written down lyrics in 4 years. I even freestyle what I sing.
HOW DOES THE BEAT COME TO YOU? I KNOW SOME PRODUCERS SAMPLE BUT LIKE YOUR OWN ORIGINAL BEAT HOW DOES IT COME TO YOU?
It just does. I can't explain. Whenever I turn on my computer saying, "Imma make something like this...", it never comes out right. I just go with what feels right. I don't like people around when I make tracks either. It's almost sacred. I don't talk AT ALL. I'm just zoned out. No distractions.
WHO ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVE PRODUCERS?
Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Teddy Riley, Babyface, The Neptunes, Timbaland, J Dilla, Polow Da Don, Mannie Fresh, The Underdogs, Dr. Dre, David Foster
HOW DID YOU GET INTO PRODUCING/ ENGINEERING?
When I was in the 10th grade my homie told me about Fruity Loops and it's been on ever since.
