    Quote from Sade

    “I’ve always loved singing from a young age. My mother always said when I was a baby she’d have to walk and sing to me so I would fall asleep. She probably planted a seed there. My music teachers, God bless them, were some of the early ones as well to see that potential.”

     

    Q. How did you get into the industry?

    A. I started off in this industry as a background vocalist. Honestly if my life had gone any different even in the slightest, I probably would’ve ended up in a different lane, but college really opened up the doors for me and gave me the opportunity to cross paths with some brilliant people who helped me to get where I am now.

    Q. Who’s been an inspiration to you?

    A. Firstly my husband. I see his drive and his ambition and the sacrifices he’s taking to get where God wants him to. It’s amazing. My mother, her resilience and strength I’ve witnessed all these years has always been inspiring. These days our local artists are breaking so many boundaries. The ones I know personally, like Nathanael, Sherwin, Mekaiel, the ones that gave me a chance like Positive and Mention, and so many others I can’t help but be inspired by our own.

    Q. What advice can you give others that want to get into the industry?

    A. Be wise about every decision you make. You may slip up sometimes but even then, the decisions you make. You may slip up sometimes but even then, the decisions you make to get back up, let it be made in wisdom. Never ever stop seeking God about every move you make and don’t be discouraged. I’ve been there but then you realize it’s never smooth sailing but know the God you serve has great plans for you.

    Q. What are some of your hobbies?

    A. I won’t really call it a hobby, but I really enjoy watching HGTV and Food Network. Somehow, I’m able to clear my mind while watching. If that doesn’t work, then I’ll find a concert to watch and be inspired.

    Q. Tell us about the song “Freak in me”?

    A. For me, it’s about the ladies putting good music out there with positive vibes and positive energy.

    Q. What brought you to Atlanta?

    A. As an Artist and a man, I think I’ve done all I can do in New York City. I had to come where the music was popping, and Atlanta fit my vibe (That laid-back vibe).

    Q. Who were some of the people that really made you say, “I can do this”?

    A. It took me a while to get comfortable, but I started hanging around people that were really doing it. Tony Sunshine pushed me. I was always in a one-man band. I have my own studio, do my own mixes, and own masters and videos. The first person I met here was Bone Crusher. He has been a big help and push, He said “Don’t change you. Don’t be an Atlanta artist. Be you, be different, and you will stand out”.

    Q. You were in the movie “All eyes on me” and “Love& Hip-Hop”, what other projects are you working on?

    A. I love acting. I know that acting is what I always wanted to do but did not think about doing. I had enough talent to do it, and I want to get into more of it. Tupac was my Idol. It was a blessing to be on the project “Love & Hip-Hop”. I made a record. Everyone went crazy, and the producers walked up to me. They wanted me to be in more scenes.

    Q. Do you Model?

    A. Yes, I have a lot of pictures in magazines. Triple O G did a contract with me also, and I did a sneaker deal with a sneaker project.

    A. I am a singer, songwriter, entrepreneur, actress and CEO of my own record label and entertainment company here in Atlanta, GA. I also have some other things in the works right now and lately I’ve been on the road with Meka- Nicole with “For Colored Girls Only”.

    Q. What got you into singing?

    A. My family did. My great grandmother Ruby who passed in 89 was an amazing singer, My Pops Lorenzo would sing in his Soprano voice around Christmas time he would sing “Silent Night” by the temptations. So, I guess you can say that’s where I get my singing from.

    Q. What made you come up with the song “Knowing”?

    A. We find ourselves in relationships where we have hurt one another a lot of times. We know the truth, some stay, some leave & some just know.
