ow did music start
becoming an integral part
of your life? What triggered
your interest?
I fell in love with music, hip-hop
music to be exact, around 11 years
old. At first I just loved being
listener and feeling the music, but
as time went on, I wanted more. I

I didn’t think I was any good at it.
After high school i started to listen
to a lot more than just hip hop and
it really helped me develop as an
artist. I think it also helped me find
my voice, and begin to develop my
own sound. Being able to rap and
sing really takes my music to
another level I feel like . It helps me
to stand out as an artist and allows
me to do things a lot of artist would
