And proving that chivalry is back! He cares, he dares and he shares his out of the box creativity and talent in an overwhelmingly dedicated fashion with a tapestry of songs that keeps you moving’.

What made you choose the music industry? What made you first want to be an entertainer?

I wanted to join the music industry because I have a great love for music. And what made me know that I want to do this for the rest of my life was my first performance at 4 years old at the La Palo.

And what kind of performance was it?

I performed James Brown’s Out of Sight.

And you were four. Cool! I know that you are a huge James Brown fan and Michael Jackson fan but who are your big influences now?

Well, besides those two, I would add Kendrick Lamar and Lil Wayne.

When did you start producing your own music? And what made you even think you could do it?

I started writing at 9. But producing not really so much of that. I made beats before. When I go to the studio it’s mostly to tell the producer I know what I want.

Yeah. In your head. You hear it. Where do you want to be in 5 years? With your career or your life?

On top!

On top! I like that answer!

Do you recall a moment that changed the whole entire trajectory of your life?

A moment that changed my life would probably have to be when I was 2 years old. Watching the James Brown Get on Up movie. That probably changed my life forever. It made me have a love for music. A love for James Brown. I eventually moved on to Michael Jackson. Because James Brown influenced Michael Jackson, so those are my two favorites right there.

What advice would you give someone say your age even younger who wants to do what you do?

Never give up. Always stay positive. Don’t listen to the negative.

Now you do something a little different than a lot of rappers. You keep it positive. You’re not talking about killing people or getting even with someone’s girlfriend, stuff like that. Why do you do that? Because it’s brilliant. But why do you do that when you could do anything you want?

I’m trying to change the world through my love. My love for music. My love for a different style. My music and my dance. Spread love.

If you are in front of a stadium of let’s say 25,000 people, how would you react? Would you be nervous? Would you just go for it?

I will just give it my all.

Is there anything that you want to ask me that might help you?

How to get signed and stuff like that.

I saw your animations they were amazing. Do you want to tie that in? You already have tied it in with your music.

As you know I have a love for cartoon characters like Sonic, Mario, and stuff like that. I have little characters that I film that help with my production directing and editing.

I want to ask you what you want to be when you grow up, but I feel like you’re all grown up already. Do you want to be in the movies? Is that something you would want to do?

Yes, but before I do all that good stuff I like to get some good training first.

Are you training in anything right now like vocal training or anything?

Yes, I am.

Good for you. You already are a superstar but you’re going to be like a superstar that everyone knows. So, I’m not really worried about you. There’s nothing I could say to you to tell you well do this a little better or that a little better. You’re good with the answers and you’re really smart. Are you smart in school?

Of course.

So Mom, how does it feel having a child that’s a superstar?

I’m not even going to lie sometimes it’s overwhelming. But that’s my baby and I love him to death. He got a DM from Mr Bootsy Collins today. He’s throwing his birthday bash and he wants Little Prince there.
