What sparked the idea for “Bloody Patience?”
It was a major accident I was involved
in that happened in my own neighborhood back in 2020 that physically put me down for a
while, all for me to have a few more near-death experiences throughout a homelessness
period I went through.
What is the story behind your artist’s name?
It came from my life story. From childhood memories to the military and back home.
How could you describe your music?
HIP HOP!! I can also hold a note if needed.
Describe your creative process.
It mainly pulls from the idea of always having a
passion for music as well as the traumas I’ve endured throughout the life I’ve lived to jump
out on a limb with this music label I’m trying to get off the ground.
What is your main inspiration?
My family, especially my mama. Even on limited
resources she did what she could to make sure there was food on the table and clothes on
my back. Not saying I can’t hold my own, but credit when credit is due mama was always
there.
What is one message that you would like to give to your fans?
Stay tuned in
because I got more heat coming.
Did your style evolve since the beginning of your career?
I believe so. Even though
it’s in the early stages I’m already hearing the tracks I’m recording saying to myself “yea I
can easily outdo this maybe tweak that etc.”
When was that first “Oh shit” moment when you realized that music was going to
pay off for you?
I had a few people I didn’t even know (as well as friends) started
messaging me on Facebook and Instagram saying they heard my song on different
playlists, ended up going to my profile and seeing that I had more music up and became a
fan from tuning in.
Who do you see as your main competitor?
This answer is as cliché as it gets, but
me. As much as I want to do for me and others, my own life story is my biggest kryptonite.
