We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It hasn’t always been a smooth ride. In the midwest there are not a lot of companies or opportunities when you want to get into the music industry. I wanted to build platforms or create the opportunities so I started to building the platforms and opportunities I wanted to see. Take the artist careers to the next level has been something that stuck with me through my career. One of the biggest things that I had to overcome was being accountable. That made me focus and lock in as I was doing the Ohio Hip Hop Awards. I wanted to focus on building our artists up and make sure to resurrect the Ohio Music Scene. There were not very many opportunities for A&R’s, Artist Development, in my city. One of the biggest lesson I learned was the structure and day to day regiment it to make a project successful working at 300Ent where we created some household names with Megan Thee Stallion and Tee Grizzley.
