    Q. What was the inspiration behind “Blue Sunset” and its title?

    A. As you know the song talks about feeling good about who you’re with and giving off positive energy. You might have a messed-up day, and at that moment everything goes out the window, but you can continue to have positive vibes. As for the title, blue is my favorite color. Sunset is like the essence of feeling good.

    Q. What projects are you working on?

    A. My biggest focus right now is an album. It is called Blue Leisure. I also dropped a new song with Whodini. I’m doing television and movies, and I also have my own company.

    Q. Do you think being a music producer that you don’t get the credit you deserve working with so many people?

    A. I do now, but at one time I think I had a chip on my shoulder. There was a time when I was doing so much for other people, and I wasn’t getting much love back. Now, the industry is embracing me a lot more. Fanbases are bigger. It shifted and now I am a full artist.

    Q. Out of all your projects, what is the best one you worked on in terms of production?

    A. Hmmmm……that’s hard. It’s hard to say because I take pride in all my work. One is the Fetty, and Johnnie Record I did with Frank Ocean. I am also proud of the work I did with Whitney Houston. God rest her soul.

  • Fall Apart

    Fall Apart

    Sometimes we have to fall apart in order to rebuild with a stronger foundation. It’s never too late to be who you want to be and live a life that you are proud of, even if that means beginning again.  And you can always begin again.

    Q. What else do you do other than acting and producing?

    A. In 2017. I started my own production company GPS Productions, LLC. 2018 we facilitated several acting workshops under the series name “Connecting the Dots to becoming an Actor”. I look forward to creating films that help to educate, entertain, and empower my audiences.

    Q. Why did you want to become an actress?

    A. I love being a storyteller. From a very young age. I always had a passion for the arts. I feel most alive in front of an audience and a camera, it is truly my happy place. Breathing life into a character is one of the most fulfilling things I do as an actor, and even at times becoming a voice for the voiceless.

    Q. What are some of the projects you worked on in Atlanta?

    A. Well I have completed several television and film projects here in Atlanta. Some of the television shows include: The Vampire Diaries (CW) Saints and Sinners (Bounce TV) and most recently filmed Ambitions (OWN). Some of the films include: Mr. Right (BET), The secret she kept (TV One), The Last Time (Aspire TV) and so many more. My hometown, Atlanta has been very good to me and my acting career.

    Q. Who or what inspires you?

    A. My parents inspire me daily, they are true examples of how hard work produces success, and they instilled that in myself and my siblings from a very young age. They also encouraged us that we could do whatever we set our minds to do, and to always go after our dreams, for these reasons and more I love them dearly.

    Q. What is your favorite album or song right now?

    A. It’s an oldie but a goodie: DIVA by Beyonce, lol. This song actually made it back on my playlist recently. I was really inspired by Beyonce’s homegoing concert film on Netflix, so I have her live album from that concert on repeat right now. Love her old and new songs and her work ethic is amazingly motivating.

    Q. What advice would you give someone that is interested in pursuing an acting career?

    A. As an actor, you should think of your craft as if it is a muscle, the more you work it the stronger you become. All actors continuously get training, in classes or acting coaches, investing in your dream will help to keep you prepared for your big moments. And of course, Never give up!

    Q. When you wrote this song, “We in the Trap” where was your mindset at?

    A. I was in the trap meaning the studio that’s my trap. Playing some pool and I started writing.

    Q. What or who inspired you to get into entertainment?

    A. I had a best friend before I was doing music; she was a great singer: one day we had a block party in our projects in Brown subs, and she took a stray bullet to the head and 2 hours later she passed away. She inspired me so much on how hard she was going with her music that I wrote my first song about her.

    Q. What kind of things can you try to remember or implement to keep you from burning out or letting your passion drive you opposed to pushing you backward.

    A. Sometimes you want to reach a goal so fast but wonder why you’re not getting it. It’s because you can’t force it, you have to let it happen. I don’t force songs out, timing is everything.

    Q. Who is one of your favorite artists that inspired you?

    A. Rick Ross and Flo Rida.

    Q. Do you think it’s enough pie for all the artists to eat?

    A. It’s enough space for everyone to eat. Florida is the next biggest place for music that’s coming out. Kodak Black, Triple X, & Ferrari Fred. We got next, we them Florida boys.

    By: Where It Begins

    Q. What was the inspiration behind your song “She Fell in Love”?

    A. I wanted to make this song creative, so I looked at it as if she fell in love with me. So, I flipped the concept of it so that it can be looked at from a hustler’s point of view that she’s a gold digger, or the fact that she’s just digging me.

    Q. What does the name T.R.U.B. Chef mean?

    A. T.R.U.B. stands for “Truth Real Unique Blessed”. The chef part comes in because I treat my music personal and perfect just like a chef treats his food. I am working on the cooking part though, lol.

    Q. With you being in the industry from 11 years old until now. What avenues would you give to artists now to put themselves on a platform?

    A. The platform that you need to get on right now in this time is social media. Start with the simple ones that you can do yourself like YouTube, which is especially helpful if you don’t have the money right now. Just invest in yourself the best way that you can now. Work your way up from there by letting people take your brand seriously. Don’t be afraid to ask questions of people of importance.

    Q. What is the music scene like in Memphis right now?

    A. It’s coming up better, but there’s still not enough unity within the rap community.
