BECOMING INDEPENDENT

Releasing my first single I was really uncomfortable in the studio at first I didn’t know what I was doing I just knew I needed to get my music out I used to be a rapper and I used to have freestyles Then when people actually started coming up to me and asking for my music I didn't have anything to offer them. I wasn't sure what genre I wanted to do I just knew that I wanted to make music I started studying and looking at how to release my own music Believe it or not, I wasn't scared doing it on my own I just knew I needed to release some of my own music I really dove into learning about the music production side of the industry and gained more of an understanding of my work going out into the world

Taking Creative Risks

When I directed my first music video Amen I learned I need to plan better You really need a team for all of the various moving parts of the shoot You need them to know the script because it was the most hectic thing I've ever done. I realized you can never be too detailed when it comes to preparing for a music video I had to learn how to be more organized and now that I have a creative director on my team it feels good I don’t feel overwhelmed. That definitely was a creative risk I learned a lot from.

I know that I am making a living off of my artistry as well as my team. Touring is also something that comes very naturally to me as well so I would love to go on tour I would love to make enough money to help the homeless situation and give back to the community. Being able to partner with brands that I'm passionate about and basically securing my artistry is the plan.
