WHO IS THAT ONE PERSON OR EVENT THAT HAS INFLUENCED YOUR GROWTH THE MOST AND HOW?
2016 American Billboard Awards I attended in Las Vegas was a game-changer, meeting some great artists such as DJ Khaled, Steve wonder etc and seeing amazing artists such as Justin Bieber put up a spectacular performance and meeting influence my growth due to see a lot of my favorite artists being on the stage accepting their awards and performing. It showed me what hard work and determination would get me if I just work hard and focus; that I would see myself on that stage one day. I had the honor to meet DJ Khaled, Stevie Wonder, as well as Justin Bieber and many more.
WHAT IS THAT ONE THING THAT YOU ALWAYS KEEP IN YOUR MIND WHILE PREPARING YOUR CONTENT?

HOW IMPORTANT IS PERSONAL BRANDING FOR ARTISTS AND WHAT YOU DO TO GROW YOUR PERSONAL BRAND?
Personal branding is extremely important for you to stay true to yourself and it isn’t something to take lightly, it’s a way for you to maintain your audience and as well your image. Something that I do to help grow my brand is spreading positivity throughout my social media as well as my music.
