How Did You Get Your Name? Is There A Story?
My name was creates because when ever i made any body movements, people would never hear me even if they tried. Second because, I would always vanish at my own will when I felt that was needed. Last Im great with wih words, some say im a wordsmith. When I’d put together a poem, sentence, school assignments and songs; it was said from many who knows me that my words have the ability to either be spoke and put life into others, or even be spoke to take life out of people.

The largest challenge of mine is split up between balancing my everyday life and duties. Being engaged, a father, having animals, legal technicalities, School, making ends meat with making money, therapy due to the pandemic and staying in touch with my family/friends. Through all that its very difficult and draining. Most of all keeping positive, remaining strong, and persistent to be up to par with everything. Ill say, It’s a serious multitasking job.
What’s Your Typical Songwriting Process?
Usually ill begin with finding a instrumental beat, but I like to make my own so I’d create a beat. I will not start writing any lyrics until after I have made at least ten or more beats. When I feel I have enough beats I listen to each one repeatedly to come up with course hooks. Some comes to mind immediately and the rest I have to brainstorm. When I’ve completed as many as I can stand or reach a level of comfort with all im working to put together. I proceed to start writing my verses at the same time with listening to the instrumental beat that was chosen with the fitting course hook and lets my words flow. Last, comes the recording and audio cleanup for sounds and noises. I try to refrain from using ad-libs and autotune.
How Has Social Media Influenced Your Career As An Artist?
Social media has been a big help in regards with reaching out to fans, acquiring fan base. Also its been a benefit for advertising and promoting myself and my works.

I even submit on selective websites that offer feedback reviews.

I have so much to keep up with that I haven’t got to creating a playlist selectively. The one I have is of the top or hottest uprising of artists in the same position as myself. Although I’ve listened to many artists and their tracks even given feedback, It hasn’t been spare time for me to do so as far as playlists go. The ones I took time to listen to were random in abit of every type of genre, if they Im and ask me to check their music out I will. All the artists vary from residents in Uk, California, Italy, North Carolina, Georgia, Chicago, and Cleveland mostly.

Aa mentioned in a previous question Its a big factor with me when it comes to being yourself. Originality is what make an individual on many different instances. Also it is what everyone rather a fan, musician, or record label look for in the artists they choose.
