Exclusive Interview

Tell us about where you are from and how you got to this position today?
I am 17 years old from Ivor, Virginia. I know for a fact that I got in this position I am currently at because of the power of God. I would not be anything without God. I work hard through sleepless nights to try and reach my dreams. I know that if you have passion then you should have ambition and if you have ambition you have drive and if you have drive and a good work ethic then your dreams are only steps away

What are you currently working on and what can we expect to see?
I am working on getting with a label because I am ready to take my career to the next level and I am album ready. So once I get everything situated the world will be seeing a major album from me in 2012-2013.

Tell us about one of the hardest challenges you had to face in the industry?
Learning the industry. When a artist first steps into the industry it can be hard, but if you are very informed and study the industry you will prosper. I say it is hard to learn the industry but once you learn it the possibilities are endless.

What was one of the biggest set backs in your career and how did you bounce back?
When my twitter account got hacked, stolen, and changed up. I had almost 150 thousand followers, but the hacker got in and locked me out and basically ran with my account and changed it into a spam account; I bounced back in like 2 days with a new account and I was blessed with being able to get a official website out. I think my set back was a blessing in disguise remember everything bad will lead to good somehow.

What are some things artists need to be careful of?
Giving away all of your music for free, check out the link. Also just bad business, remember your image is everything – your first impression is 95% of the time the last impression. Artist should stay smart and become informed about the music industry learn it love it and live it if you want to be successful for a very long time.

What are the best ways to sell your products as an artist?
Think about who wants your product when creating it. When your product is finished you will know who will really want to buy the product because you targeted the people.

What is one of your favorite ways to promote yourself and your music?
I love YouTube, but I believe touring is the best way.
