Tell us about your story and how you got to where you are?

I’m an artist from LA, I think what brought me here is persistence, just not giving up. If you keep going you’ll learn!


What has been your biggest obstacle in your journey as an artist?

One of the biggest obstacles for me early on was to be stylistically unique. When I started I probably sounded like everybody! It’s natural to emulate others but that’s just not what I want to do. Also to just chip away at this a little bit everyday. We all got responsibilities and distractions so just do what you can sustain. Not crash out doing too much at once that’s the challenge right there.

What lessons have you learned?

Anything meaningful is going to be difficult. Trust your instincts, if you like it someone will like it. If its quality people will appreciate that. Similar energy all bunches up into one thing as time passes. You can be your own plant or a branch off of some else’s, but you have to decide early!


Tell us about your music; how would you describe your sound?

It sounds like what we go though being young from California. It’s so much money and opportunities out here but there’s an influx of people trying to capitalize off this. It’s dark sometimes. Colorful, jazzy and west coast. Original. A lot of thought goes into these records. They have their own vibe and I love that. I always wanted my music to be unique, this the only place you can get this from!

What other artists would you compare yourself to?

Greedo ? Blxst? Someone who produces too. Warren G, Cole, Q Tip…

If you could work with any artists, who would you choose?

Dom Kennedy, Hit-Boy, Greedo or Kendrick.

What sets you apart from other artists?

My style!

What should we know about your work?

Know this is for Los Angeles. When you see us you should feel like you can do it too! When you hear me you should know it’s alright to not fit in, you can do this how you want on your terms. You can break the mold, know that!

What are your plans for the future?

My immediate plan is to finish up this tape so I can get back to performing and do more give aways. That and buy all the empty lots on Western.

What motivates you, or keeps you going?

Wanting to be the best is what motivates me. Having people to take care of. New sounds. We spend so much time out here in traffic. Gotta have a soundtrack for that, right?

Tell us something that might surprise people about you.

Before this I was trying to be a singer!

How do you define success?

I’m a creator. The closer the final product is to wherever we had in our minds before it came to fruition is how we measure success. Money, Grammy’s, billboards, all that is fire but I just want to be creative and original before anything. How well executed this vision is will determine wether or not it was a success or a learning experience.

Tell us about any projects or music you have coming out.

I’ve already did almost 20 for this tape but it’s probably only gonna be 8-10 songs. A good introduction right now I’m just waiting for features, mixes, and other finishing touches. If we stay on schedule it’ll be done in a month or so.

What do you want people to know about you? Anything else you want mentioned?

I appreciate everyone for listening! Shout out TRAPXLA for helping us get this roll out going, go stream “DIFFERENT” right now!
