I started making music for fun maybe my senior year in college. I started rapping in high school, but it wasn't anything serious.

In this day and age of social media, where everything is so centred around how many Instagram and Twitter followers you have, what's keeping me afloat is the fact that my live performance is something that people can enjoy.

I didn't choose to be a rapper; it's just my talent.

I think what's keeping me making music - the money is great, but I make music for the visibility.

I started making music for fun maybe my senior year in college. I started rapping in high school, but it wasn't anything serious.

Sometimes I start with the beat. Sometimes I can write something down and it takes me a while to figure out how I want to say it or the beat I want to say it to. I definitely like to live the experiences that I cover.

Coming into this, making music, I knew that was something that was going to be held over my head. Okay we get it, you're openly gay, but do you know how to rap? Can you really rap and deliver? And I feel like I have that pressure put on me that other artists don't. A lot of people don't have to focus on being so lyrical and actually putting on shows. Before anyone was gonna tell me I was bad, I was gonna prove that I was good.
