I did a Q & A
A music educator I know presented 12 questions for me to answer for a great artist biography.
I thought to myself “Wow” this is perfect to share with you as we’re getting to know each other.

If you've been keeping up with my emails you’d know in my health update I told you that I fell off with the gym and that I’d notify you about what I'm going to do about it.
I now have to decide to wake up at 5:30 to get ready, eat breakfast and head straight to the gym.
On top of that, this week's goal is to pay attention daily to when I need to meal prep next.
I realize this Sunday that I don't necessarily enjoy meal prepping so I must remind myself constantly why I’m doing it.
Other than that this weekend I went on a hike with a friend and watched “No good deed” which sucked btw.
Now to the questions:
Q1: What genres do you play?
Genre: Hip-Hop
Sub-genre: Conscious Hip-Hop/Trap Music
Niche: Conscious (Spirituality Meets Peak Performance) Trap Music
Q2: Who do you get compared to?
DDG, Party next door, Drake, Bryson Tiller
Q3: What are your biggest influences?
Jay-z (For branding and business purposes) Kanye
(Cause he’s dope) and Future... (Cause he’s dope).
Q4: When was the moment you knew you wanted to play music for a living?
Between 12 and 18 years old. I ran across people I could tell were being genuine about the possibility of making a full-time living as a musician.
From then I knew.
Later on, People like Corey Wayne pointed out that if you're not doing what you love for a living statically you die at a younger age.
Q5: How do you want people to feel when they hear your music?
Relaxed but motivated, kind of like how I feel when I watch a Christian Guzman vlog or after watching "The dark knight or The avengers
Q6: Why do you record music?
There’s nothing like the feeling you get after recording a song that's a hit to you.
From there it's about getting people to feel what you feel when you hear that song simply by getting them to hear it enough times.
Q7: What's special about your latest project?
“Conscious” my latest album is the first album where I got to express some of my philosophy on a piece of art.
It's very spiritual and personal.
The first song discusses loneliness and some of the feelings and vibes that come with that.
Halfway through the album, I begin to talk with the source.
You'll hear me begin to acknowledge the source's presence and the fact that I was never alone.
Essentially I begin to awaken.
The last song talks about my full awakening at this point there is no struggle I become conscious and fully awake.
I can't wait to share it with people.
Q8: What are some lightbulb moments along the way in your musical journey?
I think when I read David Nevue's “ How to Promote Your Music Successfully on the Internet” and after hearing him speak about it, I was 100% certain he wasn’t lying and his instructions made sense.
Another light bulb moment is when I first heard Corey Wayne say “ People who don’t do what they were put on this planet to do tend to die fast and have terrible relationships”.
I knew 100% that doing anything other than music was not an option.
Q9: How do you define success in music for yourself?
$500,000 annually in personal income from my music business.
At $75,000 I’ll be content. I’ll always be proud but never satisfied.
Last month I did over $800 in revenue and I consider that a huge success.
Q10: If you met someone at a diner or bar, how would you describe your music to them?
Conscious Trap Music... imagine Tony Robbins rapping with the sound of drake.
Q11: What keeps you pursuing your music career?
Honestly, that’s a very personal question.
What I can say is it all boils down to how I want to live life to my fullest potential.
Q12: Describe your audience/demographics?
Based on the research it’s supposed to be African-American/Hispanic males from ages 18-35.
But based on my results...
Anyone and anyone and that's just the truth.
Reading/Writing that stroked my ego a bit so let's not mention it too much.
