Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: My career path has been a wild ride for sure. I started off just learning how to write poems. Those eventually turned into raps and led me to focusing on my delivery as I progressed. I have a mentor who produced for Gucci Mane, Migos, Lil Wayne, etc.... He brought me out to LA where I got to rub elbows with some of my idols and creatives I revered. I learned a lot about the creative process while out there. I moved to Nashville and put my head down for a couple of years and landed my first sync placement. From there I signed my first co-pub deal and got over 30 syncs and songwriting placements while growing as a songwriter with Song House Co. With Song House, I performed and spoke on a panel at TEDxNashville in 2022. I also wrote for the Denver Broncos, Steph Curry, Toys for Tots, and more! As of late, I have been writing songs at Warner Chappell and SONY. Ive been making music seriously for 7 years.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: My work process depends on what Im doing. If I am writing and top-lining, I listen to the first 20 seconds of the production and load it up immediately. Then I start recording into Logic as I rap or sing lyrics and sentiments for a couple of lines or however far I get. Then I go back and refine everything that I have. Get to the end. Listen and redeliver and rewrite specific lines. Then I'll add harmonies and adlibs as needed. If Im helping someone write a song. I'll listen to their song a good 3-5 times and see where I can step in and help the song hit a little harder. When producing. I'll find a reference to what the client needs or listen to the reference given to me about 3 times and create something in that vein without ripping directly from it.
