ARTIST FEATURE #15

CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE AS A HIPHOP ARTIST?
Being an artists is probably the most rewarding feeling! Seeing people support what you create is a high in itself. Alot of my music comes from personal experiences and for strangers to interact and relate is wild to me. I've been blessed in many ways. But with all the good comes struggles and hard times. So there's a mic of highs and lows. Some times I feel I'm on top of the world then other times life just gets hectic and subconsciously I know I'm slacking and falling behind. So it can get stressful at times. It's creating your own business. It's challenging most of the time. Trying to figure out ways to get your name out there. It's all mixed feelings through the process but at the end it's very rewarding.
WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSONS YOU HAVE LEARNED THROUGH OUT THE YEARS WHEN IS COMES TO BEING ARTIST?
You need to be strategic and not just do things just to do it. Budget your money. Anything you do has to make sense. A lot of new artist are willing to throw money around for things that either they're not ready to capitalize on or they're just doing it to say they're doing it. Make sure you have a solid team supporting you. It doesn't have to be other artists but with people that have common goals. Network with anyone and everyone. Sometimes it'll open doors you weren't expecting. Stay patient and focused because life and this industry can get very crazy at times.
WHAT INFLUENCES YOUR MUSIC?
For me it's life. My writing comes with experiences and emotions from things going on in my life. I use music to express myself. It's like a body builder going to the gym to release stress. I use the studio. Friends, family, strangers, boss, events going on in the world, are alot of the things that helps inspire me to create. Hearing records from some of my fellow artists motivate me. Also the icons I look up to, motivate me to create when I see them releasing a fire record. Everything around me inspires me and I trying to put it all on a beat so the listeners can relate. If my music can help at least one person a day, then I'm doing my job right. Luckily I've been blessed to receive messages that my music has helped many supporters of mine and that means the world to me.
ANY COLLABS IN THE FUTURE? AND ANY FINAL THOUGHT FOR THE READERS?
