Exposed Vocals: So tell us your story. Where did you grow up? What made you decide to become an artist?

I was born and raised in San Bernardino, California. It’s not that bad of a city but there is a lot of violence and hate. I’ve always loved sounds and making them so, making music was definitely the right step.

Exposed Vocals: Since everyone was a start-up once, can you give any smaller or local bands or artists looking to get gigs and airplay some tips?

Network ! Your net worth is only as good as your net work.

Exposed Vocals: Do you ever make mistakes during performances? How do you handle that?

Whenever I make a mistake on stage I just keep going. The fans almost always don’t know unless you make it known.

Exposed Vocals: Do you tour? Anything interesting happen on tour that you think our readers would enjoy hearing about?

Yes. I’ve toured a couple times to London (UK), Bakersfield (CA), and Los Angeles (CA). It’s a great experience. I haven’t had a crazy experience yet.

Exposed Vocals: Any planned studio upgrades? What are you working with now?

We record our music on Pro Tools. My engineer Master Green mixes and masters everything on the spot !!

Exposed Vocals: How do you find ways to promote your music? What works best for you?

I work with a lot of people that have a lot of connections. It’s taken me 9/10 years to develop these plugs. I’m the main one pushing my music. I’m my own street team, digital marketing, Instagram manager and all!

Exposed Vocals: If you could perform anywhere and with any artists (Dead or Alive) where and who would it be with? Why?

I would perform with 2 PAC at Coachella.

Exposed Vocals: So, what’s next? Any new upcoming projects that you want to talk about?

Yes, I have a EP that I’m working on titled “Respect Few, Fear None”. I’m only selling it to fans that directly contact me when it’s time. I’m only sending the song out to up to 75 people.

Exposed Vocals: If you weren’t making music, what would you be doing?

I would be making money on my own some how. I honestly might be on the streets making bad decisions.

Exposed Vocals: What should fans look forward to in the next year or so?

Me getting bigger and better.

Exposed Vocals: Any Shout-outs?

Shout out to the squad! Drama !
