What got you into music, and if you had not gotten into music what would you be doing today? I've been musical since I've had the ability to make sounds! I started writing songs and performing when I was 5 and learned the piano when I was 6. I played different instruments growing up (clarinet, drums, xylophone) but mostly piano up until highschool. I would write musicals, and put on shows for my entire family, my neighbors and pretty much anyone who would watch from the age of 6 all the way through middle school. I loved performing and creating, it was something that came so instinctually to me and just brought me so much joy. No one in my family was artistic in that way, and I never really was surrounded by music; it was just something I always gravitated towards and I felt an immediate passion for. When I was 14 I experienced a series of traumatic events that led me to stop pursuing music and performing, and I became addicted to alcohol. It wasn't until I was 17 that I discovered the art of rap and freestyling and my desire to make music returned with such an intensity that it consumed my entire life. From that moment on my life was centered around hip hop.
