I Spent My Childhood In The DMV area. And my teenage years was spent in Atlanta. So I consider my self a DMV/ ATL artist. I feel like I am apart of both places equally both places equally made me who I am as a person. I ain’t really have your typical childhood. But I learned so much at a young age I’m able to still carry it with me I gradually turned it into a strength of mine. I feel like I’m well rounded because of my childhood. I always been into Jay- Z since I was a kid. I still didn’t ever see myself becoming a musician myself until 2014. I always knew I had a way with words and could write poetry since I was around like 8th grade but I didn’t really ever try to rap. I would always write down how I felt and when I would go back and read it what I wrote would rhyme without me even realizing it. Even now I feel like my music is just how I feel I don’t necessarily think I’m rapping but it just flows together in my own way I feel like I’m doing more speaking then rapping. I recorded my first song ever though March of 2014. And ever since I recorded it was like I was at home. Writing music and creating songs is like a therapy for me.
People that inspired me are people that I feel have there own identity. And what I mean by that is I am inspired by ppl that are more known for there notoriety then fame. To name my music influences it would be Jay-Z ,Shy Glizzy & Future .
I want my Legacy to be a person that’s known for my Notoriety before anything else. & How Faith is really the most Powerful thing on earth before anything else. Hopefully my music can speak for me. I feel like I have the ability to help ppl too. Another thing I want my legacy to be is somebody that helps ppl and when I say ppl I mean complete strangers. Because in my life a lot of times the ppl that have helped me the most have been strangers. I wanna Be a Man of the People not a Role model though because I don’t consider myself perfect I’m just Me in all aspects. I Am A Maven & I Also Consider myself more of a Public Speaker than I do a rapper. I’m Almost like a Street Preacher with the things I talk about in my music & how I articulate myself in my element.
I know I will Leave a Legacy of Creating Great music Without holding anything back by Giving My Music My All.
I Am The Art Of Story Telling.
