I got started with music at a very young age and knew this was a calling. Music was always a part of my life. Since then I have performed at various venues, recorded various albums and other music productions, and much more. My inspiration in my music is the power and love of how music can help you through your good or bad times.

I got started in music first as an artist pushing out my music and getting things done. As an artist and also a music video director I just got tired of people's nonsense and not putting the visuals I wanted. Music video production was something I always wanted to tap into to use my creativity in the videos I do for various artists.
