Where are you from?: I was born in [a small town in Florida] Homestead, Florida, south of the main known Miami scene.
How long have you been making music?: I’ve been making [music] for about 6 months now. I used to freestyle as a little kid but didn’t get serious until 6 months ago.
What are some trials and tribulations you go through as an artist?: [My] trials and tribulations as an artist [are] I feel like being unnoticed in the music scene. For most artists, there’s a money issue and that plays a big part but good music never goes unnoticed. I feel like people don’t listen to other people's music because they choose not to. They only tune into the mainstream artists because it’s what everyone else is doing.
Do you feel like you’ve developed your sound?: I feel like I’m still trying to find my sound. I’m always wanting to change my sound instead of working on my sound as of now.
Describe your musical style in three words: If I had to describe my sound in 3 words, it’ll be different, relatable, and I’d say versatile.
If you had to write a novel based on your life what would the name of it be?: If I had to write a novel based on my life, it would probably be named “Life is a Joke”.
What is a quote that you were told or that you came up with that you will never forget?: I remember being told a quote by my stepdad he always told me “find” a woman like your mom”. I never forget that.
What are your three biggest accomplishments up to this point?: My 3 biggest accomplishments I would say so far have been, I recently started a clothing line called No Identity. Another accomplishment would be I built a small support base with my music and I actually dropped more than 1 song this year.
Who are the artists that influenced you to make music?: [An] artist that influenced me to make music I would say [is Future]. I looked up to Future a lot growing up and watching him successfully still be a big name in the music industry. I’ve also looked up to Playboi Carti back in high school. The first song I heard by Playboi Carti was “Broke Boi” back in 2015 by one of my friends.
What is some advice you’d give to an independent artist trying to develop their sound?: Advice I would give to an independent artist would be to try new things. Experiment with your voice and don’t ever feel lonely thinking you’re not good enough. I’ve been there and I’m proud of you. We’re all in this together. High School Musical said it best.
