How did you get started with your music?
I NEVER REALLY WAS SERIOUS BOUT DOIN MUSIC TILL BOUT MAYBE 3 YRS AGO. I HAD A GROUP NAMED UNDERGRADUATE LYRICISTS LAST YEAR OF 06. MADE SOME NOISE! BUT IVE BEEN WRITTING SONGS SINCE I WAS VERY YOUNG. WROTE A LOT OF POEMS AND LITERATURE. DESIRE, CURIOUSITY DROVE ME TO DO WHAT I DO TODAY. NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WOULD EVER BE GOOD AT MUCH IN LIFE, BUT SOON CAME TO FOUND THAT I HAD A LYICALLY ABLIITY, THAT IN TIME WOULD BE ONE OF THE GREATEST TALENTS KNOWN TO MAN.

What are you currently working on?
MY DEBUT ALBUM "JACK OF TRADES"

What kind of music do you listen to and how does it influence your music?
I LISTEN TO IT ALL, COUNTRY, ROCK, RAP, HIP-HOP, R&B ETC ETC.. I FEEL AS THOUGH IN ORDER TO BECOME A GREAT ARTIST AND A LEGEND YOU HAVE TO HAVE DIVERSITY. WITH REAL TALENT YOU CAN WRITE A SONG ABOUT ANYTHING..TO ANYTHING AND STILL MAKE IT A HIT! I BELIEVE THAT IS WHAT MAKES A GREAT ARTIST.

What's your opinion on mainstream music today? What do you like or not like?
I LIKE MAINSTREAM BECAUSE IT IS ANOTHER WAY FOR US ARTISTS TO REACH OUT TO THE LISTENER AND GET MORE EXPOSURE.

Who do you admire?
I ADMIRE JAY-Z BECAUSE OF HIS BUISNESS ETHICS AND THE WAY HE DELIVERS NOW. ITS GREAT TO ALWAYS LISTEN TO HIM. ENMINEM IS ANOTHER IDOL OF MINE I THINK HE IS THE BEST LYRICISTS EVER. NAS IS OTHER FAV OF MINE. AND OF COURSE THE RAWIEST NIGGAS OF US ALL, TUPAC AND BIG!

Why would people want to listen to your music over someone else's?
I’M UNPRECEDENTED. I’M A NEW SOUND AND STYLE. NUFF SAID!

Who have you worked with and how have they affected your work?
I HAVE WORKED WITH SUCH ARTIST TAY JONES, LP, PREACHER WHO IS A RISING STAR HERE FROM ORLANDO FLORIDA. AND NOW QWES WHO IS AN AKON MUZIK ARTIST/UNIVERSAL RECORDS ARTIST. HE KNEW DOING A TRACK WITH ME. WOULD BE A GUARENTEED HIT!

What is your local music scene like?
I ATTEND V.I.P PARTIES AND PERFORM THERE AND PROMOTE AT LOCAL CLUBS BUT OTHER THAN THAT..NOTHING MUCH RIGHT NOW..DUE TO MY RECENT TRANSITION.

What suggestions do you have for other artists in the music industry?
"STICK TO THEIR GUNS AND NEVER GIVE UP. NO MATTER WHAT OBSTACLES ARE IN THE WAY OR HOW ANY SITUATION WAY NEVER TURN OUT THE WAY PLANNED. KEEP GRINDING AND THE SPOILS WILL BE GREAT. ALSO ALWAYS IMPROVE NEVER THINK THAT THERE IS NEVER ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT NO MATTER HOW GOOD YOU MAY BE OR YOU THINK YOU ARE. AND STAY HUMBLE BECAUSE COCKINESS CAN LEAD TO FAILURE.

Where do you see yourself in a year from now?
HOPEFULLY MAKING AN IMPACT IN THIS INDUSTRY LIKE I PROJECTED AND A LIL MORE FAMOUS. BUT HEY ONLY TIME WILL TELL AND THE EFFORTS I PUT INTO MY CAREER.
