Q: What’s your favorite part about being a musician?
A: My favourite part about being a musician is working with different musicians that play different instruments or work differently from you in music production, sometimes coming out the comfort zone can be refreshing and fun.
Q: Who is somebody you always wanted to work with?
A: There was three people I wanted to make music with but sadly passed away, Cookie Monsta, Barron and MC Stormin. People that are living I would say Funtcase, Voyd, Bukez Finezt and Marauda.
Q: To date, what’s your most memorable music moment?
A: I can’t really pinpoint which is the best one, I would say all of my music moments are my best because I get to see my friends every time I go out so its always good in the end.
Q: What does the immediate future hold for you in your artistic career?
A: My music career can only grow from here and out, expect to see more music releases and more live streams and much more to come.
