In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. remember walking into my grandma’s house and hearing my dad spin “Lovin’ You” on vinyl. Later, he’d blast “Ambitionz Az a Ridah” in the car. Those moments gave me chills and showed me how powerful music could feel.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? 2Pac, Me Against the World Kendrick Lamar, DAMN. Streetza Ria, Five Minutes Away DAMN. dropped two days after my birthday and got me through nights sleeping in my car in Cali. Me Against the World helped me survive the struggle. 5 Minutes Away felt like my childhood story—told by someone who lived it too.
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. “Girl Like Mine” I made the beat and wrote Girl Like Mine back in 2021, and in 2025, Wood Harris used it to promote the Netflix show Forever. Hearing him say it was a dope song meant the world to me—one of the most validating moments of my career.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? One of my most memorable moments was Wood Harris using Girl Like Mine for his Netflix show Forever. I also won the Cash App #Cash4Change contest, and landed sync placements with both Diageo and the NBA—all reminders I’m built for this.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I want to land a partnership with UnitedMasters, lock in more sync deals, and release an album that impacts people the way my favorite records shaped me. I’m working hard to create something timeless—I’m nowhere near done.
