Where are you from, and how has your background influence your music?

I was born and raised in East New York. Growing up music has always been around me. My mother is a Puerto Rican women and I had a plus dad who was also Caribbean so music was a big thing in both cultures. I remember my mother use to blast loud music all the time and we would dance to it. My father was a Dj so he use to set his equipment up a lot and mix music. In East New York we use to have alot of block parties with loud music and everyone dancing. Listening to Lil Wayne, Beyoncé and Tory Lanez helped me to express myself within music

What got you into music ?

My brother was the biggest reason why I got into music. I always loved music. Seeing his passion for music made me interested in writing my own music. As kids him and I would find beats on YouTube and make childish songs to them. It was so funny because I use to go so hard behind our little songs. We use to record ourselves on my iPad mini and after showed my mother what we was doing. My brother encouraged me to go to the studio and I didn’t take it serious until I listen to the song after the studio session was almost over and was shocked how good I sound from there I built my voice and flow where I wanted the whole world to hear me.

What inspires you as an artist??

What inspires me as an artist is being able to share my ideas with an engineer/producer and they bring my ideas to life through music. Also being able to tell stories that many people can relate to through my music. Also when I perform the crowd reaction it gives me a thrill to make more music. Many people don’t like speaking on their feelings and showing emotion.
