I’m most proud of how eclectic my ear is and my ability to adapt. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work? As you ascend, you have to remember what it was like so you can make changes. Ultimately, you learn and adapt, but always stay aware so you don’t become the very things you hate in this industry. Bad contracts etc., the list goes on and on. I’ve had songs come out and my name wasn’t listed at all even though I wrote 90% of the record. A lot of greedy people who want your percentage or they’ll take your song off the album. We’re looked at as disposable and with that comes a lot of sessions you have to do for “the look” or opportunity. Songwriters are actually treated like trash unless you have top representation or have a number one hit. The prettier your voice, even if you lack at all the other things I named, the “better” you are. Those traits aren’t appreciated as much on the surface. I’m actually great with melodies, lyrics (I think because I rapped and wrote a lot of poetry growing up), song structure, and at making sure songs don’t come off corny. So getting into sessions in the beginning when I wasn’t as confident vocally was challenging, and people tend to discredit writers who aren’t singers first.

I’m not a natural vocalist, I taught myself how to hold a note just because I love r&b more than rap. This industry is excruciatingly egotistical. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect? Now I’m just expanding on that, building my own brand and continuing to sow seeds.Ĭan you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Last year we co-wrote Teyana Taylors “69” from her Billboard #1 R&B album ‘THE ALBUM’. I went on co-write his singles “Valet” ft 2 Chainz and Fetty Wap, “Moist” ft K Camp, “Legs”, “Main Thang” and more. I co-wrote six songs on ‘The Rebirth’ album and have been working with him ever since.
By 2013 I got introduced to Eric Bellinger and started flying to Cali to work with him. I also wrote and produced Trey’s “French Kiss”. I went on to write “Flights & Skype” & co-write “I Don’t Really Care” Waka Flocka ft. After HS, I got in touch with Trey Songz label Songbook and started flying to Atlanta regularly to build relationships and my catalogue. By HS, I was producing, rapping, singing, and writing for others. Then I started to play around with rapping. He played me his music and it blew my mind that he was able to create his own beats.

A classmate told me about this beat-making program called Fruity Loops and how I could download the demo for free. I got started with music in the 7th grade. I specialize in all things music on the creative side, and I’m learning the business side now as well. I’m a songwriter, producer, executive producer and artist.
