You have a fresh sound.  How would you describe it?

Who are some of your influences?

My wife and my 7 seven-year-old daughter influence me

You spent some time in Indiana and now Texas.  How have the 2 different scenes affected your music?

I began taking my music seriously when I moved to Texas.  Moving to Texas helped get me out of my shell.

 

What is your songwriting process?  How did these new tracks come together?

When I hear an instrumental I like I constantly listen to the track in the house and car while freestyling over the beat. Once I establish a flow to the beat I then create an outline of different subjects or life experience that fits the instrumental. Once I come to an understanding of what the song is going to be about. Everything else falls into place. I never rush the process of making music. I am usually writing songs in the morning.

There definitely seems to be meaning in your flows.  Tell us how you open up in your lyrics?

I began writing poetry and performing spoken word. When I was younger I used to hold all of my emotion inside. At that time I felt that I was unable to express myself in a way people would understand. I began writing poetry in 10th grade. Writing to me is a coping skill. I also love music. I felt that by writing lyrics over smooth beats would allow my message to reach more people and maybe he’ll someone or make a difference in someone’s life.

My goal is to meet other artist and producers who are passionate about music like myself and create amazing music.
