seven, over twenty four years allright, love songs, club songs so
much, you know. Yeah,yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's right. He does his thing. Yeah. And then yeah, I've

and then I'm going to be startingup a new project pretty soon,
so right after. That's amazing.That's a thing. That's a blessing,
(04:05):
you know. But you know,can you tell us more about your main
inspiration as you know, you mentionedthat you have seven albums already complete.
Yeah, tell us more about youryour inspiration about like you just got up
and said, listen, I'm justgonna do this and I'm gonna just write
this, and you know, youthat sense of when it was the right
(04:27):
time, Well I knew I've beenyou know, singing for a long time,
and I knew I always wanted todo something. As soon as I
got older and I was thirteen yearsold, I started a group because I
was a huge Boys to Men fan, and I wanted, you know,
to incorporate h five guys that cansing into an RB group that could dance,
(04:56):
and I cannot dance to save mylife, so but I try.
But uh, yeah, yeah,I've been wanted to do I've been wanted,
I've been seeing I was sick,so and then I've been wanted to
do this for forever, since Igrew up watching Michael Jackson listen up Voice
to Men. It has always beenmy aspiration or I guess you say,
(05:23):
dream to do this, and soyou know, yeah that if will you
have love to work with him?I mean who wouldn't. Oh yeah,
of course, of course, enoughto pick his brain and just like let's
see what makes him you know him? Right? And then yeah, and
(05:44):
then as I got older, Ipursued more of a solo career because trying
to maintain, you know, forthe guys, kind of keep them the
same mindset, I was not working. So I went and did the solo
thing. And it's worked out sevenalbums later, and I had one collabor
collaboration album and then Yeah, it'sit's I'm able to tell stories that I
(06:13):
want to tell that people can relateto, able to make views that I
want to hear, make the soundsthat I want to. You know,
you brought out a good point becausenowadays, as an artist, I think
that you have to love what youdo exactly right. Yeah, that is
not going to be something that thefans, the you know, the people
(06:33):
out there can feel. Yeah,exactly, and you have to your to
whatever you're feeling at that moment.Yeah. Yeah, And I get a
lot of I like when I write, you know, sometimes I'll get it
from inspiration from friends what they're goingthrough, or I just write just because
(06:55):
the story pops into my head andthey'll tell me like, how do you
know that I'm going through this?Like I don't know. I was like,
it's just it just came to myhead. It was like I've been
feeling this way blah blah blah.I was like, oh wow, oh
my god, because as a fanlike myself, when I listened to that
song and I just closed my eyesand I just sang, It's like it's
touch It's just touching my soul becauseyeah, with the words, and not
(07:18):
only even though that maybe the artistdid not write the words, but when
the way you just sing it andwith that passion you know you can.
Yeah, it's like going through abad breakup and all of a sudden you
started hearing songs. I was justtalking to a friend of mine yesterday about
it. When you're going through abad breakup and you all of a sudden
(07:42):
you started listening to these songs thatyou never heard of, and you like,
you kind of relate to him.It's like where were the songs all
this time? And all of asudden they just pop up when I'm going
through something. Yeah. True,like music, it's a it's an emotional
point, you can say. Soit puts you in a really you could
put you any mood. And that'sthe what I wanted to do, was
(08:07):
put people in a good mood.Definite, definitely. Do you think that
your style evolved since you left thegroup? You mentioned you know that you
have to do your solo. Youthink that your style had evolved with changes
through each album on each situation thatyou left. Oh yeah, I think
if you listen back to my oldalbums, my previous ones, especially my
(08:31):
first two, because my first onewas the title Am A B and it
was just an introduction. It wasbasically just introducing myself and I just put
whatever songs I wanted. The secondone was the was titled The Rebirth and
it was I was going through areally bad breakup at the time. I
was I had a lot of emotionsand I needed to get some things off
(08:54):
my chest. And then that's whysome of the songs are really personal in
there. And each each each album, I just tryed to evolve as and
it's a different artist come up withdifferent sounds of different stories. When I
did the Return of m AB,I was proud of it, but it
(09:15):
felt like listening back, it feltlike it was just rehashing some of my
old stuff and I didn't get theresponse that I wanted because I was like,
Hey, this is my first albumin ten years and it's not quite
doing what I expected to do.So that's why song on that album was
that, did you write your songson that album? Oh? Yeah,
the entire album. I wrote theentire album, and it was the most
(09:37):
It was the challenging because I hadn'twritten the song so long, wow,
and trying to it took me likefive months to record, and it was
like a twelve song album. Andthen it was just like it was a
challenge because I was like, Igot to get back to how I was
in my twenties when I was writing, but it didn't quite get the reaction
(09:58):
that I wanted. So I waslike, okay for several and I have
to change, I have to evolve, I gotta I gotta be more modern
but yet still be me right.And when they blew up the way it
did, Wow, Yeah, that'samazing, just because you know sometimes you
(10:18):
mentioned the I mean when especially thatalbum, do you feel you were creating
for yourself or you were creating foryour fans, for for whoever the listener?
You know, I think it's amixture of both. Was mostly for
the listener because I didn't want tokind of regurgitate the same thing over and
(10:41):
over again. So it was kindof like I need to especially I live
over here in Cali and here I'msubjected to listen to the same thing over
and over again, and so Iwas like, I need to bring I
need to do something different, Ineed to bring the East Coast over here.
What I need to bring? Yeahyeah, I need to bring Brooklyn.
I need to make Brooklyn alive.Yeah yeah yeah. And now the
(11:07):
challenging part is I'm going to workon my eighth album. It's not Who
I Be? Is how do Imake that different? Or it's not a
top seven eight? And the onlything I can think of is just to
come up with different and better stories. And I already got some ideas in
my head and everything, and it'snot going to be a copy carbon copy
(11:33):
of seven eight was just its ownthing. Who I Be is going to
be a strictly, strictly earned Balbum. It might have some little elements
of here, of certain genres here, just to change it up, but
it's going to be I think what'sgoing to compel that album is just a
story and telling amazing amazing you dowork on the last album that you mentioned
(11:58):
before about that you're doing a likesing me singing some good, amazing classic
R and B. So you knowwhat was the idea? Why what made
you do it? Well? Iwanted to do one for like a long
time, and I ended up doinglike three years ago. I ended up
doing a cover album. Called thecovers a soul and it was just they
(12:20):
touched on from the sixties all theway to two thousand and I got a
good response to that. I waslike, I want to do some more,
like another one of that, andright after I did once, seven,
one, eight, I already cameup with the ten ten of my
favorite songs or top songs that everyonelikes, and this is like make it
(12:41):
different, make it more soulful,and you know, just kind of put
a little bit of me into it. Wow. Oh yeah, and I'm
probably might do a third one forthat. I'm not sure who knows what
happens in the future, but younever know. Yeah, yeah, you
never know. I you have tobe you have to stay positive, and
(13:03):
though so many obstacles and bumps inthe road, you have to stay positive.
I never thought that I would bein this predictament right now, but
it led me from one thing toanother. So you know, I always
tell everyone out there, just staypositive, stay true to yourself, do
what you love, you know,and you have to let all the negativity
(13:28):
out exactly exactly, so you know, that's amazing. I wanted to I
always ask this question because you know, the industry right now. The music
industry is just so it's everywhere.Honestly, it's everywhere. Yeah yeah,
If you could change one thing inthe music industry, what would it be,
(13:54):
huh? I would say, givethe rights back to the artists,
rights back to the artists. Iagree with you. No label, no
label to have any rights or catalogson anything from the artists. It should
be the artists strictly themselves. Exactly. And you kind of see it today
where h a lot of artists aregoing independence that of signing with record labels
(14:20):
because they don't have rights to theirown songs. It's true, it's true.
I mean, and now we gotthe whole Diddy situation. Now he
just just released you know, yourhealth got raided and then it's it's the
industry is pretty shady because you neverknow who you can trust. There so
(14:43):
amazing, you know, because theseare you know, you you're going through
journey, a journey in your musiclife, and it's hard to just trust
anyone. Yeah. Yeah, timeyou have to be very friendly and out
there talkative and networking. But thenat this I still got that fear.
(15:05):
Yeah yeah, exactly. Do youhave you encounter any problems in this journey,
you know, with a specific youknow, with our producer, maybe
somebody you know that you've worked.Have you encountered any problems? No,
no, because I am a likewe When I was younger, I tried
to get signed. I mean itwas impossible to get signed because my music
(15:31):
was different. Even when I collapsedwith my cousin we did the album together.
It was we got a lot oflove, but we also had a
lot of hate. So it wasnever like, never felt anything from a
producer we should do this now.It was just like we're just trying to
get our foot in the door andput good music. So we we we
(15:56):
went to I remember a club onetime and we gave them our music and
we stood there for maybe two threehours, and the guy never the DJA,
refused to play our music because wewere so different. Yeah, I've
noticed that. I've noticed that.That is just you know, it's who
you know, yeah right now,and yeah, it's unfortunate. And then
(16:17):
then you guys as a new artist, as a new end, you know,
and independent artists, you don't getthat oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah,
because we don't get exposure like that. So it's it's just, uh,
you know, it's it's it sucks, but you know, you just
keep trying. Eventually, you know, that's what we have friends and family
(16:37):
for. Hopefully they just you know, keep going and you know kind of
like, uh, just the wayI'm looking for share it or continue on
so that way they'll get noticed.Listen right now, you don't even need
to be signed in our record label. Now, you could just be an
independent. You can create. Yeah, you can put it out there,
(17:03):
comes out of your pocket. Bat. You know, you got to make
some sacrifices in order to you gota hustle. So but I am so
so glad that your your journey iscontinuing and you haven't given up. And
I always told you, you know, I think you're an amazing artist.

be a strictly, strictly earned Balbum. It might have some little elements
of here, of certain genres here, just to change it up, but
it's going to be I think what'sgoing to compel that album is just a
story and telling amazing amazing you dowork on the last album that you mentioned
(11:58):
before about that you're doing a likesing me singing some good, amazing classic
R and B. So you knowwhat was the idea? Why what made
you do it? Well? Iwanted to do one for like a long
time, and I ended up doinglike three years ago. I ended up
doing a cover album. Called thecovers a soul and it was just they
(12:20):
touched on from the sixties all theway to two thousand and I got a
good response to that. I waslike, I want to do some more,
like another one of that, andright after I did once, seven,
one, eight, I already cameup with the ten ten of my
favorite songs or top songs that everyonelikes, and this is like make it
(12:41):
different, make it more soulful,and you know, just kind of put
a little bit of me into it. Wow. Oh yeah, and I'm
probably might do a third one forthat. I'm not sure who knows what
happens in the future, but younever know. Yeah, yeah, you
never know. I you have tobe you have to stay positive, and
(13:03):
though so many obstacles and bumps inthe road, you have to stay positive.
I never thought that I would bein this predictament right now, but
it led me from one thing toanother. So you know, I always
tell everyone out there, just staypositive, stay true to yourself, do
what you love, you know,and you have to let all the negativity
(13:28):
out exactly exactly, so you know, that's amazing. I wanted to I
always ask this question because you know, the industry right now. The music
industry is just so it's everywhere.Honestly, it's everywhere. Yeah yeah,
If you could change one thing inthe music industry, what would it be,
(13:54):
huh? I would say, givethe rights back to the artists,
rights back to the artists. Iagree with you. No label, no
label to have any rights or catalogson anything from the artists. It should
be the artists strictly themselves. Exactly. And you kind of see it today
where h a lot of artists aregoing independence that of signing with record labels
(14:20):
because they don't have rights to theirown songs. It's true, it's true.
I mean, and now we gotthe whole Diddy situation. Now he
just just released you know, yourhealth got raided and then it's it's the
industry is pretty shady because you neverknow who you can trust. There so
(14:43):
amazing, you know, because theseare you know, you you're going through
journey, a journey in your musiclife, and it's hard to just trust
anyone. Yeah. Yeah, timeyou have to be very friendly and out
there talkative and networking. But thenat this I still got that fear.
(15:05):
Yeah yeah, exactly. Do youhave you encounter any problems in this journey,
you know, with a specific youknow, with our producer, maybe
somebody you know that you've worked.Have you encountered any problems? No,
no, because I am a likewe When I was younger, I tried
to get signed. I mean itwas impossible to get signed because my music
(15:31):
was different. Even when I collapsedwith my cousin we did the album together.
It was we got a lot oflove, but we also had a
lot of hate. So it wasnever like, never felt anything from a
producer we should do this now.It was just like we're just trying to
get our foot in the door andput good music. So we we we
(15:56):
went to I remember a club onetime and we gave them our music and
we stood there for maybe two threehours, and the guy never the DJA,
refused to play our music because wewere so different. Yeah, I've
noticed that. I've noticed that.That is just you know, it's who
you know, yeah right now,and yeah, it's unfortunate. And then
(16:17):
then you guys as a new artist, as a new end, you know,
and independent artists, you don't getthat oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah,
because we don't get exposure like that. So it's it's just, uh,
you know, it's it's it sucks, but you know, you just
keep trying. Eventually, you know, that's what we have friends and family
(16:37):
for. Hopefully they just you know, keep going and you know kind of
like, uh, just the wayI'm looking for share it or continue on
so that way they'll get noticed.Listen right now, you don't even need
to be signed in our record label. Now, you could just be an
independent. You can create. Yeah, you can put it out there,
(17:03):
comes out of your pocket. Bat. You know, you got to make
some sacrifices in order to you gota hustle. So but I am so
so glad that your your journey iscontinuing and you haven't given up. And
I always told you, you know, I think you're an amazing artist.
