I’d Like to thank GlobalGrind for the opportunity to share my insights, grind and success stories with you. I’ll also share the down times and the hard points of this grind. I want to be the inspiration for the loner in school with so many ideas that he/she may loose their mind. I want to be your best friend, worse enemy, biggest dream, and worse nightmare… all in all I want to be your motivation to do what Im doing, or do better. Follow me as I share music, fashion, business, EDUCATION and ambition with you all. Love or Hate , Im going to trying to increase your passion behind either, while keeping you updated on a behind the scenes basis, on me without a deal, and me with a deal.
I recently was in a concert with J.cole and Ryan Leslie at St. Johns University, shout out to any and everyone who was at the concert. Although they treated me like the least important person on the line up for the night, overall I’d say it was a great show, the crowds energy was there heavily. Before the show J.Cole told me ‘3 years ago, I was in the same place as you, look where Im at now.’ That was pretty cool, he was a real down to earth guy. When people weren’t running up to him acting like they knew him for years, we got a few conversations in here and there. Best thing I got out of him was what I quoted above.

I started writing and making music about 5 years ago when I was 17, and one of my early inspirations was Ryan Leslie, being in concert with him Before I even signed a deal was pretty much a HUGE DEAL to me. My producer White Lie showed me videos of Ryan Leslie before he was popular for his radio hits and I fell inlove with his production and his song writing after that. I didnt really get many words out of him when I went up to say whats up to him, but overall he was a cool guy. I had to focus on my performance as well.
After the show, I was interviewed by a few websites including this one. The people at Globalgrind and my partner, Chris Castro, came up with an idea for me to be on this site and invite you all into my grind, hustle, rise and future. Ill be taking you inside studio sessions and inside major labels offices. I’ll take you into clubs, VIP, and when im waiting on line. I’m going to bring you guys everywhere, all the way to the day I sign the deal, and there after. I want you to be part of the movement just as much as I am. So enjoy!
