How did you get into music? What is your musical background?
I got into music at a young age, drawn to the emotion and energy it carries. Growing up, I was surrounded by different genres, which helped shape my sound. Over time, I started making beats, writing, and eventually recording my own music. From performing live to crafting instrumentals, I’ve always been involved in the creative process.
Tell us about your first release – what was special about that one?
My first release was a defining moment because it showed me that my music could connect with people. Which came out my senior year of highschool. I know people today who still have my very 1st project. It was the first time I saw listeners relate to my lyrics and vibe, which pushed me to keep going. That track was a reflection of my story at the time, and looking back, it was the beginning of something much bigger.
Tell us about the latest project you worked on?
Lately, I’ve been working on a mix of projects—new music, live performances, and short films. My latest project includes the album 11.11 3. I love blending different elements of entertainment, so I’ve been creating visuals that enhance the experience of my music. My latest tracks bring together storytelling, emotion, and energy, giving listeners something real to connect with.
Could you describe your musical style and creative vision?
My music is a blend of melody and raw emotion, with uplifting lyrics that reflect both struggle and success. I aim to create sounds that move people—whether that’s through deep storytelling, energetic beats, or a combination of both. My creative vision is all about authenticity, pushing boundaries, and leaving a lasting impact.
What advice would you give to anyone thinking of entering the music industry?
Stay consistent, stay independent as long as you can, and learn the business side just as much as the creative side. There’s so much more to music than just making songs—you have to understand branding, distribution, and ownership. Most importantly, never lose sight of why you started.
What are your plans for the rest of the year and beyond?
I plan to keep releasing music, performing, and expanding into more visual storytelling through film. I’m also working on ways to build my brand, connect with more listeners, and collaborate with other creatives. This year is all about growth, and I’m excited for what’s ahead.
What have you enjoyed about working with MN2S Label Services?
Working with MN2S has given me a solid platform to push my music further. The support, resources, and guidance have been valuable in helping me elevate my career. I’m looking forward to seeing what we can accomplish together moving forward.
