How do you balance life with work & music. Do you have
time for a personal life? THE WAY I BALANCE IT IS I’M A
VERY SCHEDULED PERSON. I LIVE MY LIFE BY THE BOOK
OF ME, BY MY TIMING. IF I HAVE A 5 HOUR WORK DAY,
THEN I DO 2 HOURS OF MUSIC. IT’S WHAT I CALL
“DEDICATED TIME.” I’M NOT TOO ENGAULPED IN WORK TO
THE POINT THAT I CAN’T ENJOY MYSELF OR HAVE A
PERSONAL LIFE!!! THANK YOU LORD!!!!!
