WHAT HAS IT BEEN LIKE AS A MUSIC ARTISTE? WHAT ARE THE CHALLENGES YOU’VE COME ACROSS IN THIS LINE OF CAREER?         

For me, being a music artist is fun.  I say it’s fun because this is what I really love doing.   I wasn’t born into a music background but it’s a gift to me from God.   Please don’t get me wrong, getting to where I am now wasn’t so easy. Especially when I was trying to master my craft, people promised and failed me. I got disappointments from people and I got wrong advice from people I respect.   Nevertheless, I did not allow all that stop me from moving forward.

Word for the upcoming artist (I will number them so you understand the principles and you can work around them)  

 1.  God First (to get the direction in which area you are called first)

 2.  Focus 

 3. Getting all the necessary material 

 4. Don’t ever pull out of the game

A MAJOR POINT SO FAR IN YOUR CAREER:   

I’d like to say that every day has been a major point in my career.   I really don’t know which to start with.  There is the guitar playing skill that God has given me, my unique effects, the various artists to work with, and the ability to produce.  There is so much to be thankful for.

CURRENT GOAL: Working on my own music and album

ASPIRATIONS/FUTURE PLANS:  

I aspire to be the best that I can be, because my Heavenly Father created me to be the best for his kingdom.
