How did you get your Artist name?: 

Honestly kinda came to me one day and flowed right out of my mouth, but incase your asking my favorite color is blue 

How did you get into creating?: 

My love for music really started when I was eleven years old and I joined the school band and played clarinet, but from there on I would hear a wide rand of music in the car with my family, from Michael Jackson to Bollywood Music. I would write little raps In my room around the age of 13 and 14 but never thought of putting it into song form and recording my thoughts. One day I came across the Garage Band app on my phone and discovered how to download a YouTube beat and attach it on to the app and record vocals over it. I would record in my sisters closet and tried my best to mix it as best as I could. I eventually wanted to to upgrade and decided to visit a real recording studio, and recorded some of my first music. I would post on SoundCloud and promote on Instagram. Soon after that I wanted to get a better idea and taste of the engineering side of recording music and wanted to be able to tell the engineer exactly how I want to sound. I went to a local trade school and graduated with an Audio Engineering degree, while simultaneously attending acting school. Ever since then I’ve been recording as much as I can and growing my fan base.

How has creating changed your life?: 

It has given me an outlet to express my feelings, and really use the studio as therapy.

Where are you from?: 

I’m originally from Orlando, Florida. I recently relocated to Brooklyn, NY.

How did growing up in your neighborhood/city affect you?: 

I grew up amongst a group of friends In my neighborhood, but I really started growing when I separated from them.

Who inspires you? Why do they inspire you?:

What is your dream as an artist and what steps are you taking to reach your dream?:

What is the best advice you would give someone? :

Tell us about your most recent release: 

My most recent release is my third studio project “Blue’s Universe” it’s a part of the world I created surrounding myself, and really is a trilogy. It started from “Got the Blues” when I was most in my feelings and emotions, then went on to “Blue’s World” where I felt like I was slowly coming out of my shell and had intent to make it my world. Now it’s “Blue’s Universe” where I really feel like the universe is in my hands.
