Artist Biography
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My first musical memories consist of Jagged Edge's Heartbreak album--it was my first ever CD. As a kid, my mom had me listening to the heartfelt R&B music of the 90s and my pops always kept me hip to the downsouth rap sound of Webbie & Lil Wayne.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Big K.R.I.T., Moon & Stars (Remix) [feat. Killa Kyleon & Curren$y] - Single DOM KENNEDY, By Dom Kennedy Future, Mask Off (Remix) [feat. Kendrick Lamar] - Single Most of what I listen to on a regular basis consists of music that motivates me to stay diligent in my grind/hustle. Whether that's something that helps me feel cool, or something that brings me the nostalgia of life being simple it keeps me going.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “1K a DAY (feat. SWEET DA CHIEF)” I love this song because it captures the essence of everything that represents me & my team. It was the first record I recorded with full intention of releasing as a new artist and for weeks it was my favorite song in the world. Better believe it.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? One of my most memorable moments comes from my first listening party. I had twelve people show up to just vibe out with me and hear the background story to the project, each record and my life's journey. It was special & I'll cherish it forever.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? My first milestone will be to complete a Texas tour as an artist. I've done it a number of times as a DJ, but I want to build my artist portfolio, fanbase and social media presence up to do it for myself. My aim is to accomplish this in May 2024.
