What is your Dream?
I dream of being one of the most successful entertainers in the history of music.
Who are your role models?
My grandmother is one of my greatest inspirations. My mother is a great role model because she is the finest representation of a woman. Jay Z is also a role model to me. His work ethic, determination and business tactics are admirable. When I see him I think of success.
Favorite lyric?
"I've been so many places in my life & times, I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some mad rhymes, I've acted out my life and stages with 10,000 people watching, But were alone now and I'm singing this song to you" -Donny Hathaway "A Song For You"
What do you like to do for fun?
Going to the movies is always fun. I enjoy writing stories, music and also scripts. I really enjoy private settings, me and my favorite girl, thats fun right there.
What inspires you?
Life's happenings inspire me. What goes on in our every day world plays a major role in everything I do creatively, whether it be music, art, or writing, its all inspired by every day life. We have our ups, we have our downs, we even have those in between days, but they all help create something real.
Name someone you'd like to work with in the future?
I would love to work with Diane Warren. She has wrote some of the worlds most beautiful and successful records (See: Celine Dion "Because You Love me" , Monica "For You I will", Beyonce "I was here". I would also love to work with newcomer Frank Ocean. I enjoy his music, his arrangements and his infusion of rhythm, soul and hip hop. He's almost brilliant.
Title of the last song you wrote?
"Dance Forever" is the last song I wrote. It describes a hard working lady. I come to her job to see her almost every night. She does something to me that no other woman can do to me. Though there are other beautiful females working there I only wanna see her dance.
Why are you UP NEXT?
I am up next because I represent the future of music. I also represent music's past. Music is missing "that voice". When people hear me I would want them to think of me and hear things that they havent heard before. I am up next because I will stop at nothing to get to where I am headed.
Would you rather be loved or respected?
I would rather be loved. Respect comes eventually. No one comes out of the gate respected. You have to work for every bit of respect and recognition. But to be loved is natural. I would rather people love me for what I do. The respect will come further down the road. I want longevity, respect comes with that.
