Read the entire interview below:
Why did you decide to use the title, Pursuing Honest Ambitions? The truth is, the original name was “Pharoah,” so I looked for an acronym, which was Pursuing Honest Ambitions, Respect, and Only Hope. I liked the title because it described me perfectly.
When will this album be released? Honestly, the album was supposed to be released today, but it was not completed. But, to keep my name out there, I decided to do the documentary today.
What can the viewers expect to see in this documentary? My personal life and music life. I’m actually watching it right now.
Basically, Pursuing Honest Ambitions will be a day in the life of Cliff Po, correct? Not really a day, but more like a month, because we shot a little over a month’s worth of material.
How do you feel about the buzz you have enjoyed this year? It has been amazing, but it needs to be bigger.
If you had to explain your “Pursuit of honest ambitions, respect, and only hope,” what would you say? Oh wow. It is a struggle, everyone is trying to make it. Whoever works the hardest and makes things happen will succeed. I am ambitious, my grind never stops.
