Q – What has been some of the challenges you have faced in getting promotion and support within the music industry?

A – It has not been easy being an upcoming artist, I can say the last three years has been a hell of a rollercoaster trying to promote my music on my own it’s has just been God my friends and family, I’ve been scammed, and lied to just trying to promote my music. 

Q – Talk about your recent projects and the video or song you are currently promoting?

A – My last single is titled Feelings, it is a song that talks about the sad part of love and heartbreak this song is extremely personal to me and I hope to tell a story everyone can relate to with this song.

Q – What is currently your most fulfilled and happiest moment so far as an independent artist on your journey so far?

A – Well it has not been easy but I try my best to release music during holidays in order not to disturb my academic pursuit.

Q – What are some of your plans going forward with the experience you have gathered so far in the industry?

A – I want to continue to make music that people can relate to and try to tell a story on any song I’m on.

Q – Talk about your upcoming projects and other local  artist you will love to work with?

A – Music will always be my first love I can’t trade anything for that.
