AW: I would have to say college. Rutgers University was my " training " ground for music and not only did I learn a lot there, but they also opened up other opportunities for me outside of school to enhance my career, such as getting internships working with A list celebrities, and going to the Grammy Awards( which is another highlight of my career).
MM: Have you received any special awards or achievements?
AW: I ' ve received a scholarship for piano in college, and I also was credited on Jill Scott ' s " Light of the Sun " album( as a background vocalist), which ended up being number 1 on the Billboard charts in 2011.
MM: Do you have any special events, shows / gigs coming up?
AW: As of now, no, but we will be soon. Those who want to stay updated should sign up to our mailing list at www. m- piremagazine. com for performing opportunities! There are a lot of other things we plan to launch but you will have to stick around to watch everything unfold.
MM: Where do you see yourself in the next 5 or 10 years?
AW: As shallow as it sounds, in a mansion.
MM: What would you like your legacy to be?
AW: A movement with a life that lasts beyond my own.
MM: Do you have other interests?
AW: Well, I like to draw, I like to exercise, and spend quality time alone.
MM: What services does your company offer?
AW: M Pire Magazine opens doors of opportunities for indie and signed artists to build their career and their empire, whether the opportunity comes from us, or from others we connect with. We promote artists via advertising in the magazine and website, we put up events for artists to go to and perform, and many other things.
MM: Any special words of encouragement or advice for our readers?
AW: People give up on their dreams due to internal fear and fear coming from others. The one feeling more painful than fear is regret. It ' s better to face your fears by giving your dreams a chance( even when there ' s a POSSIBILITY of failure), than to face regret by not pursuing your dreams at all, thus GUARANTEEING failure.
