Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
As an independent artist, there are many struggles. I love what I do but it’s not easy at all. The biggest obstacle is reaching the world as much as I’d like to. It takes time. I’ve dealt with many obstacles in the music business mainly with scams and promoters that aren’t as honest as they claim. I’ve taken losses just like anyone else but I have learned to grow and come back even harder each time.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?

Can you tell us more about what you were like growing up?
Growing up, I was always writing stories and creating stories while playing with toys. I was quiet and into drawing and art. My mom put me in the church choir so at an early age, I was introduced to the music world.
