“ Never ever give up! No matter what it is. Whatever you want to do in life, do it!!”
Q. Thanks for interviewing with us.
Tell everyone who you are and what you do?
A. My pleasure Thanks for having me. Well I’m a singer songwriter and one half of the duo “Changing
Faces’.
Q. Tell us about your new Album
“Longway Home” and the motivation behind it?
A. My Album “Longway Home” is my first solo project. That makes it very special for me. It’s my baby!
I believe it’s a great first project. It says so much lyrically and speaks truthfully about Love, Life and
Lessons that we all will at some point in our lives experience in one way or another. I’m so happy with it.
Q. Who are your top 5 music artists that you are currently listening to?
A. My Top 5 music artist right now is totally different from my “TOP
FIVE ARTIST” lol... But I would say I’m currently listening to a lot of different people from Old school to today. I like Bruno and Anderson’s single that’s on repeat right now, Jazmine Sullivan, Frank
Ocean, Kevin Ross, H.E.R.
Q. What do you feel is the best song you’ve ever released?
A. Wow now that’s hard so many songs it’s hard to pick. I really love my Solo album. I feel it tells a great story. I love “Summer Day”
Q. How would you describe the music that you typically create?
A. I’m a songwriter, so I love creating for myself, but I get a lot of joy creating for others, because it allows you to step outside of you and do all genres of music. I don’t like to categorize music because it boxes you in as an artist. You should create whatever speaks to you and go with it.
Q. If you could change anything about the industry, what would it be?
A. I would change the way the industry addresses R&B music. I believe that all genres from country to pop and hip-hop use R&B as their base. Yet it’s unbelievable how R&B music and artists get no shine or recognition, when the pop / hip hop songs you are listening to and that are number one on the airwaves are all really R&B songs. They just disguise it with a different name.
This really bothers me.
Q. Tell us one fun fact about yourself?
A. I love Karaoke in my car or should I call it Caraoke.. lollll
Q. With there not being many groups out will you be doing anything as a group as
“Changing Faces”?
A. Yes, there is a shortage of groups right now. Well groups are hard because it’s a lot of work and as of now I have a lot going on outside of my solo project, so I don’t see any
Changing Faces stuff in my future.
Q. How do you feel the internet has impacted the music business?
A. Yikes, well it’s good and bad.
The good thing is the internet can give world exposure for independent artists who are not signed to the big labels. The bad is unfortunately, like trying to find a needle in a haystack because we have millions of artists at our fingertips, so they will have to work extra hard to compete with these major labels that have all the money etc...
Q. Are you working on any events or upcoming projects?
A. I’m working on a few artists and getting them set up to come out on the label as well as my 2nd album.
I have a few dance singles coming too. And some media Podcasts work as well. Yes, so I’m having fun right now!
Q. What is one message you would give to your fans?
A. Never ever give up! No matter what it is. Whatever you want to do in life, do it!! This is not a dress rehearsal. The show has already started so go get it!!
Q. Where can the readers follow you? A. Well you can follow me on IG and

Thanks for the great interview,
God Bless!!
