rap style rock, which is fairly common these days, but they do it
in a different way, but as far as my music goes it’s more melodic
rap or heavy rap like Grime (a form of dance music character-
ized by machinelike sounds and hip-hop vocals)
And Blkzen?
Blkzen is one of my best friends, he’s the owner of the produc-
tion company I work with which is 1166. Also the person who
is in 2 bands I work with. Sometimes I perform with them and if
the DJ can’t make it, I fill in, but he’s a very influential person in
my life. He’s around the same age as me, we’re both 22, and he
started a business and has a whole production company, has an
event venue. Eleven Sixty Six as a whole is a collective of artists
and we sign a bunch of artists but everyone is free to do what-
ever they want creatively. We all teach each other in different ar-
eas. We have photographers, videographers, rappers, singers,
makeup artists, painters, producers, music engineers and just a
collective of artists with a creative house.
You have a few small tattoos, are you cautious of getting
more because of the modeling?
No, I always had a dream of having a left arm sleeve to tell a
story about my life. The parts everyone knows, the parts I’m still
hiding from myself because I have done things where I have
wronged people and I feel guilty about that and when I have a
big enough platform I will send out a public announcement to
anyone I have hurt so that’s important to me.

I sometimes wish I had done a sleeve but for the first 40 or
so I was just randomly pulling over when I saw a shop and
got a tattoo and some mean something and some don’t.
Yea, but they are memories. You can always look at them and
