I worked on a few pop music projects music. I also tried my hand at acting. I actually landed a small part in Eddie Murphy’s film Dolomite. After the loss of both my parents, I decided to move back home to New York to be closer to my family.
Tell us more about your background and journey.
I’m Puerto Rican and Black grew up in Port Richmond a neighbourhood in Staten Island NY. When I was younger, I started Chain Gang Music. It originally started with a few members but through the years the numbers grew. We all tatted. Around 2017 I moved to LA in Woodlands Hills.

When did you first decide you wanted to pursue music and how did you start?
I was 12 years old when I found my older sisters demo CD that she was hiding and became fascinated with the fact her voice was in my CD player so I started crafting tunes in hopes to ask her to go with her next time.

What are some of the challenges and roadblocks you have faced along your journey?
Well, every day is a struggle not just being an artist but being African American in America. However, I must say the biggest roadblock so far has been my mom passing away in 2019 and. My father in 2020.
Who is your favourite artist and why?
I don’t have a favourite artist and I’ll explain why I listen to so many different genres of music and they all hold a spot with memories attached especially the songs me and my mom’s shared.
Can you throw some light on opportunities one gets as a rapper?
We get to use our platform to speak and sometimes influence the mass. We also get paid to do what we love entertaining.
Is formal training required or can one train themselves purely on the basis of talent?
Talent is not learned it’s a gift-giving at birth and with training, you can hone your craft and become a superstar.
What piece of advice would you like to give to future and aspiring artists?
Keep going it only takes one. Meaning if you dropped a record and didn’t go viral you have to put in more work. This doesn’t mean it’s over many artists like myself didn’t start getting recognized until after years in the game. I’m just catching my break.
