Where do you get your inspiration from most?
How do you get into music? How does One get into music or How did I get into music? well i got into music because of my parents love for it, more so my pops who was heavy with hiphop. We're west indie carribean folks so its in our culture, so music was always an influence. How Does One get into music? If that was the question? Id say by genuinely being a student and a lover of it. Dont subject to just one thing bring it all in and sift for what you like. If wanting to be a musician youre going to have to start from the ground up. From the creative aspect to the business unless its just for passion and expression which is dope too.
What would you classify your music genre as? Ive always had trouble with this one, Primarily its HipHop/Rap but A large percent of my music especially my music visuals, border line alternative hiphop based off the outter hiphop elements we incorperate. I am A hiphop artist with multifacets.
What is the most difficult thing for you as an artist that you feel like you have to face? Creating That Machine. Its the only way youll really succeed in the business. Its all about indepedence. I handle almost everything on my own at at times it can be overwhelming and/or challenging finding the right key connections thatll put you on that next level...That higher platform. Its all about a solid team, and for me over the yrs ive taken steps forward in situations that have also set me back but theres a positive to every negative and ive learned so much that im built for the challenge due to the fact of having to handle my own business.
What are some of the projects that you are currently working on or have worked on in the past? Currently gearing up to release UNSUNG HERO2 the follow up to 2013's UNSUNG HERO summer release. We released the first Visual "NO PROMISES" which landed on MTV.com and HOT97's DJ Enuff's Website as well. At the Top of the new year we will release the follow up visual "TAKE MY TIME WITH HER" starring Sheila J, both filmed by Creative Visual Art Director Jaison BlackRose. Couple live shows and a new single with Singer Sean Taylor also on the way.
What are some of your GREATEST accomplishments? In life Id say having been Fully Present in my Daughters life all her life. Fatherhood is something you cant take forgranted. Musically Id say my consistency is impecable, My work ethic which as allowed me to perform every month for the past 2 yrs, did a 6month college tour twice, Touched the SOB's stage in NYC twice, ive managed to connect with some really talented diamonds in the rough over time and it has really gave me a position to be a motivator and a leader.
How was it working with Sheila J? Working With Sheila Was Awesome, her profressionalism is what id highlight because thats one of the most important things I look for and also produce. Working with her and my brother who filmed us, was a cool experience because she brought the right energy to the visual to support the song "TAKE MY TIME WITH HER" from one hard worker to the next I just wanted to provide a cross opportunity for both of us to expose our talents.
