Being a DJ, does seeing what DJ Khaled has done inspire you, with the music? Hell yeah, man, and that’s my guy. He worked his behind off so hard and you have to respect it.

How has your outlook on actually making music changed, over the years? Well, you have to accept the fact that it changes with time, but I’ve always been a music guy when you look at my background.

Since you’re already big, on the radio, as a personality, why even worry about becoming an artist? Well, this was something I always wanted to do, I’ve been booked overseas and much more and while I have a name on radio, it’s all about next level stuff and with my ties and relationships, it was already setup, it just came down to be being ready to move forward and make this happen
Can you explain how you and Wyclef linked up? Well we both Haitian lol, but just being being on grind and having those relationships and much more being a radio DJ, who showed him big support and more. Say That You Love Me, out now!!!
Do you have any other music OGs you intend on working with? This is waiting to be seen, I have some big surprised in store for ya’ll and people will love it. It my time now and I really appreciate all the online outlets for supporting my movement big time, especially this record.
What are some of your future plans? Well I have a EP dropping soon and as you see the momentum has been crazy with the Wyclef and Kaleena Harper record, I’m big on the whole Caribbean scene and my music will have that whole Caribbean vibe that many people love.
