Music Style and Vision

It must be understood, that every song you hear in this EPK (including on social media) was created, composed, performed in a prison cell. No real recording equipment, no producer, no studio, etc. When people learn that I used styrofoam food trays (for sound proofing/muffling), or toilet rolls for vocal sound effects or the prison telephones and headphones for mic'ing, they are shocked.

But my style is blends HipHop, R&B, Gospel, EDM and Pop. But, it not limited to these genre's. I focus on real life experiences and everyday events to compose masterpieces that will stand the test of time and relate to the everyday man and woman.

Target Audience

Determining my primary audience is tricky because 'everyone' and 'anyone' who listens to my music generally says it’s hot! There's always one or two songs that "hit" them hard. Online algorithms suggest my music resonates strongly with the 15-25 age group, but the 25+ demographic is steadily growing as well. Both age groups value authenticity, emotional depth, and meaningful lyrics, making my style a perfect fit.
