1-Let’s rewind to the genesis. Was there a specific moment, a song, an artist, or maybe even a feeling that sparked your journey into music?

When I was younger I would always just listen to music & watching the videos all day I’ve always loved music more then movies , shows it’s just always been a thing , i think just the emotions you can feel making or just listening to music is what made me love the art of making a song or be able to appreciate hearing every style of music once you know the work behind it.

4-If you were to paint a sonic picture of your music, what colors, textures, and emotions would be on that canvas? How would you describe your unique musical style in a way that goes beyond genre labels?

I would say Faith Hope Passion really I try to capture how im feeling in that moment in my music most of the times in my melodic songs im speaking on my life or real situations that correlate in everyday life & try to motivate anyone going thru the same situations or listening . But also in my more turnt songs I can change the mood & turn the room up so the emotions and feeling depends on what song or project you listen to

5-Take us into your creative sanctuary. What does youwriting and recording process feel like? Is it a solitary journey, a collaborative explosion, or something in between? Walk us through the emotions and energy involved?

mostly freestyle in my studio and just punch in bar for bar sometimes I’ll write a hook and freestyle the verse or vice versa most of the stuff you hear is coming out right on the spot but once you learn the art of it your really writing/recording a song while your punching in it helps me capture the emotion or feeling I want In the song the best way

8-The creative journey isn’t always smooth. What’s the biggest hurdle you face when bringing your musical visions to life, and how do you navigate those challenges?

feel like investing in yourself is the most important thing from photo shoots to videos to cover arts posting your music on pages you have to be willing to spend money & invest in yourself alot of people think it happens overnight or will give up but that’s a big thing with this music investing and believing in yourself no matter what

9-Criticism is part of the game. How do you personally process feedback, both positive and negative? Is it fuel, a filter, or something you try to tune out entirely?

I try to take it easy on worry about criticism like it’s always good to hear all perspectives but at the end of the day it’s your job to see your vision clearly no outside judgement should knock you off your goal or dream it comes with this at the end of the day

11-Every artist faces roadblocks on their path. Can you share a pivotal moment where you faced a significant obstacle in your musical journey, and what did you learn from overcoming it?

Learning the business behind the music but you have to learn it especially being from a small town it’s really trail n error with learning but it has to be done

15-Every place has its own rhythm. How has your hometown and community shaped your sound, your stories, and your perspective as an artist? Are there specific sounds or experiences that are woven into your music?

Wheeling West Virginia specifically Wheeling Island is where i am from I feel like we are a small city with a bunch of talent no one really knows us for music but I feel like being from there only has motivated me to go harder to put on for the city it’s just like every city in the US with hard working people , community owned businesses we just never have had the cameras on us or our community but im working to change that so the youth coming up under me sees the bigger picture and that there is more to do then get into the wrong things , it’s easy to get into trouble when there is nothing going on trust me I know

16-If you could go back and whisper some words of wisdom to your younger, aspiring artist self, what would you say? What’s the most crucial piece of advice you’d offer to those just starting out?

the business early is always smart the more official you are the more easy you are to work with networking and marketing always do good business your name is everything you don’t want anything bad attached to your business or your name these are things you will learn as you get more serious with your work but it doesn’t hurt to start early
