- What made you want to become a musician?
My father was musically inclined and he played the trumpet in his youth. He made sure we were musically inclined as well. Stocking our basement with every musical instrument you could imagine. When I was about eight, my father forced me to take trumpet lessons. And then my mother upped the ante and put me in piano lessons. I hated both. But I did love to sing and act, and was in every play at school as far as I can remember.
When I met Steve Rolln in the 11th grade at Manual High School in Denver, Colorado. He was in a band called the business. They would perform at lunchtime in the quad on campus. And at that point I knew I wanted to be a musician.
- What accomplishments do you see yourself achieving in the next five to 10 years?
I am at the precipice of greatness. I have been training as an actor for three years. Now I am booking for television, film, commercials, and print. My goal is not to be a star, but to exist for the rest of my days as a working actor and Voice Over specialist. Racking up credits and hit entities that secure my future with residual income as far as the eye can see.
I am also in the process you’re studying the technical side of music production and music theory. The goal is to be a juggernaut, not in the music industry but in the entire entertainment realm. With goal manifestations on jingles for ad agencies, songs for the movies I audition for, music for the animation and video games I book, and theme songs for television shows I’m acting in.
And finally to shower the world with knowledge of an experienced DC The Brain Supreme. Providing poignant life lessons of existence well lived. And putting youngins’ on game in a manner I wish someone did for me when I was a young man.
Do you have any hobbies or interests outside of music?
I am a computer geek. I am well-versed in website construction and search engine optimization. It is one of the prideful endeavors of my life. Another recent hobby I’m tackling is public relations mastery. I am being nurtured by some of the best publicists in the game and bearing fruit from my efforts the likes I’ve never known. And finally, cooking is probably my favorite passion of all. I recently lost 100 pounds on the Keto diet. I believe I’ve come up with a new and innovative strategy. Everyone tells me why they can’t participate in the Keto diet. So as my arduous journey endured on the path of weight loss, I came up with practical solutions for all of the negative excuses. Coming out on the other side with the process of reengineering food and curated recipes to satisfy any cravings. This was truly the key to my incredible weight loss.
- What strengths do you have that you believe make you a great musician?
I have been a DJ since I was 16 years old. You do the math. I started in the beginning of hip-hop and the only question that was asked of a DJ was. Can you rock the party? Over the years I have become masterfulI in this application as a Club DJ. I brought the energy, a silver tongue Oratory technique, knowledge of the environment that I was in, and the extra mile traveled not just being a DJ but everything to a club in every way. You have to make yourself an invaluable asset. I live among the best DJs to have ever done it in Atlanta, Georgia. My ability to read a crowd is unmatched because all my life I’ve worked every night as a DJ. And making people dance, creating energy, then wearing them out requires meticulous observation over years. When I stand on the stage looking into the stadium crowd and 50,000, arena crowds of 20,000, a theater of 1000, or a not so well promoted concert with only 50 people. My brain is a computer dissecting and calculating every piece of data my eyes see in front of me. My heart racing verifies the data and I aggressively forge ahead to entertain the shit out of my Party People. And always humbly recognize that it is not about me, it is about them.
