I know nothing of what it is to be a gangster.

I'm looking for diversity, all my characters may or may not be on the wrong side of the tracks. It doesn't mean that they're all the same.

I grew in a community where I saw the process of how one becomes a drug dealer or a gang banger or a stick-up kid. There's a series of events that happen. People don't just wake up and decide they wanna be that.

I use my job to engage empathy and compassion for people society might stereotype or ostricise.

Having been through the muck and mire, I've had my own brush with bad choices.

You have to put your character to rest after x amount of years.

Music's been part of my entire life. It's in my DNA.
