My pops bought me a keyboard for Christmas so I started messing around with the demo presets. After a few months, I asked to learn more about the instrument, he then put me onto a piano tutor.

What is the most challenging thing you have overcome in your life?

Having children whilst pursuing a career in music. When you’ve got the pressure’s of putting food on the table, it steps your hustle to a whole new level.

Are you currently signed or independent?

I am currently independent working on building my own labels.

Who inspires you the most musically?

I am most inspired by beatmakers and producers. I am more of a sound guy so I enjoy listening to the architecture of music productions. Names like Timbaland, Pharrell, Rodney Jerkins will always be legends to me.

Do you produce your own music? If not who do you work with?

I produce all of my own music in my London recording facility.

Who is one artist you wish you could work with?

Drake would be the ultimate collab. Just the whole energy around his brand can make or break a beat a lot of the times.

My instrumental album is out now on Spotify and all the big platforms. It’s a collection of UK inspired beats for rappers and listeners all around the world.
