What’s your favorite and least favorite part about being a musician?  Recording and working in the studio. Performing and being on stage are my favorite parts to being a musician. Hearing from fans who my music has touched or reached out and helped them.  My fans are also my favorite part of being a musician.  Without them my music wouldn’t be heard. 

I don’t really have a least favorite part as music is my passion and I enjoy all aspects.

Name 1-2 highly influential musicians that you listen to & respect.  Keith Sweat and R. Kelly are 2 artists that I respect for their artistry.

When it comes to how the music enthusiast listens to your album do you prefer, they buy or stream and why?

I prefer they buy whether it’s a physical cd or download, things that are tangible are more valuable than just being able to stream. If you spend your money on an item its more likely to be listened to or used or shared with others.  

I also appreciate the aspects of steaming my music as well and appreciate that my fans enjoy my music any way they can listen to me.
