Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

A: I promise to give you quality material and make sure that you are 100% satisfied with the project.

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: I would say the biggest misconception is that we can write a “hit” for the client. While true, we try and give the client the best work that we can deliver possible, it is also up to the client to push and promote they’re own music with a good marketing strategy.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: Turn around time? Direction? Theme of the song? What’s the vibe and tone? What inspired them to make a song about whatever subject or the topic may be.

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A: Come with an idea in mind and with a direction that you want to take the song in. The client should always have the foundation set where as the provider should be able to come and build upon that.

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: I’ve been writing now for 8 years. Started out with poetry and then transitioned in to song writing.

Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

A: Hip-Hop, Rap

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I bring ideas as well as a positive type of energy. I merely write the lyrics and come up with rhymes that accommodate what the song calls for. Ultimately however, I bring a new perspective to the client and help them not out exactly what they intend on saying on a song.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I try to work on music everyday. I’m an artist myself and when I’m not working on my own music I am constantly collaborating with others in my field. I typically try and write to a beat everyday and if not as the day progresses and I think of certain lyrics or lines I’ll write them down on my notes.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: I’m what you would call a project studio kinda person. Meaning that I mainly work out of my home studio.
