My Own Words: “Music is music. There is no ‘box’. I don’t want to follow any so-called ‘formula.’ I try to incorporate everything I hear and use it to assist the evolution of my music. I can get with anything from the club bangers to the mellow, back-in-the-day type joints you can relate to. There is so much to offer…why settle for just a piece?”
