Vocalist/MC, Engineer

Where are you from?

Haha... people ask me that and I usually say, "Allthewhere". Originally, I was born in New York and then traveled around the country with my mom while she preformed in off-Broadway productions. I spent some years in California but Miami has always been the place I consider home. It's where I went through "the days" and became who I am.

How long have you been making music?

Seriously? Since I was like 5 years old. I used to ask to stay in the car while my mom went grocery shopping so that I could sing my heart out in the parking lot. I used to crack the windows open and make up songs about God knows what. When I was about 12, I knew that it's what I wanted to make my career and my journey in the industry began at 14. Eight years and counting.

What inspired you to make music?

What inspires everyone to make music?! Life, man! Life. It takes you on a crazy ride. For me, I was always around show biz so it wasn't like retaliation or anything - at least not in the beginning. It was all I ever knew. I went through some insanely rough times which inspired a lot of dark and hardcore songs but then as I evolved as a person, so did my art, naturally.

How would you classify your style, and why?

Ummm... -unusual. I have a tendency to bounce from a really mellow vibe to an all out break it down and get wild mood. That's actually been a problem for me... it took me a while to find my niche but thanks to a few people who have really understood me musically - especially Level from Alukard - I finally found my sound. I'm still not too sure how to "classify" it... but it's a base of electronically influenced hip hop principals under lyrics that are never watered down but kept catchy.

What would be complete success for you?

To pay my bills with music, travel the world and live comfortably with a husband and maybe some kids. Future future.

Do you have any albums, or featured tracks coming out, or already released?

Yes. I'm currently working on my album that I'm aiming to release in the Fall but dates are still up in the air with the Label.

Any final thoughts to your fans?

"Wherever you go... there you are!"
