How long have you been creating or making music? When did you start? Off & on for about a decade. I'd say I've taken it a little more seriously the last couple years. Being patient in areas I've never been before. 5. What song/video/project are you currently promoting? I dropped a collab tape last fourth of July with my guy AjGod, called "Krew Entertainment". That is available on all streaming platforms such as iTunes, Spotify, Tik Tok, etc.

Please state any upcoming performances you have. I performed a couple times last year. In Oakland. This year I do plan on stepping that up a bit. 9. When did you start taking music more seriously, and why? Past couple of years, I wouldn't say I necessarily took music serious. I just took myself more serious, and the people around me. 10.
