Q:How does the conversation go when someone pitches the performance to you?
Ans: lol I’m terrible at this. I’m not the best when it comes to that love on the spot Performances only because usually my mind is focused on something else at the time.

Q: Which famous musicians have you learned from?
Ans: Blessed to have worked with the whole Stankonia Studio in Atlanta, Big Boy and his team and they are all to talented you know.

Q: How do you balance your music with other obligations – mate, children, job?
Ans: Sometimes this is the hardest Struggle. My kids are at that age where they need there dad and want there dad around and this Is also a defining moment in my career I believe. But im blessed and thankful to have a great support team, these are people who believe in me and my dreams so that helps tremendously. I’ve always been a hustler/ go getter so making the dollar has never been an issue. But all praises to God. Somehow he provides me with a decent balance to where I feel we are all happy and comfortable. Truly a blessing.
