When you have style, it doesn't matter what other people are saying.

When you see people that lived their purpose and sacrificed, who are everyday people - teachers, sanitation workers, and just people from all walks of life - that said, "I'm standing up for what I believe in. I'm standing up for my community." That reaffirms what you can do.

I started getting more in tune with who I am by doing roles or even just being in a class and being around people.

Never lookin' back or too far in front of me; the present is a gift and I just wanna be.

Me being able to be acting and doing other things has opened me as an artist, and I think even more from a visual standpoint.

I've always been asked, "What type of character would you love to play?," and I've always said a pastor.

One thing I always loved about hip-hop music was the raw, boom-bap element - it felt powerful and manly.
