I am a red-headed artist from a background of a broken family due to drugs, alcohol, manipulation, and violence. From an early age, I learned to use hip hop and music as my escape away from the things I had dealt with as a child to take my mind to an alternate reality. All my Inspiration for the hip hop side of things mainly stemmed from Tupac, Three 6 mafia, Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, Drake, Big Sean, and Kendrick Lamar growing up. Wiz Khalifa, in particular inspired me in more ways than music. My first 3 concerts in my whole life were wiz Khalifa shows. He taught me a lot indirectly about being a businessman with the way he took Taylor Gang and turned it into an empire then eventually created a marijuana brand off of what he did as an artist. Being an owner of 4 vape shops and trying to jump into the marijuana business myself, I tried to take that blueprint Wiz laid out and make my own version of it. Fortunately enough for me, my business took off right as I began making music. The rnb side of things, I’m heavily inspired by The Weeknd, Prince, Michael Jackson, Drake again, and Chris Brown. Growing up these guys including Justin Bieber taught me to use my voice a lot more being that I was a shy kid growing up. These guys made singing enjoyable instead of nerve wracking for me. I got made fun of a lot growing up for my passion to sing but I’ve never let that sway me. The Weeknd inspires me the most with his trap like lyrics and rnb feel. In 2016, I made my first song called “Man Now” and flew to LA for a music video. This was a life changing experience and made me realize what I’m capable of doing. I plan to do big things in the music industry and no one will stop me but myself from achieving what I plan to. My music can best be described as something like the people who inspired me with a blend of new school style. Goals: My goals are to be the best I can possibly be as an artist, to show everyone I’m going to do what I set out to do, and to achieve everything I possibly can.
