When did you discover your love for your craft and what made you realize you wanted to pursue a career in it?
My love for music began when I was about 9 years old. I began this path in music by playing the drums at my local church and in school. During the final years of my military career, I knew I wanted to pursue the entertainment industry full-time when I was done with that obligation.
To what or whom do you accredit your sense of style?
