A special Q&A on January 26th at 9pm est. that will address many elements of the music business. Time to get the tools that you need to really make an impact in the industry!!
I’ve traveled all over the globe, in my 20 plus years, as a hip hop artist on the grind. I’ve performed in almost every country on this planet and I did and do it because I love what I do. In the face of every adversity I’ve come through having new tools to handle most any scenario and experiences that have taught me to never stop living my dream.



Throughout my career I’ve worked with the best including Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Diddy (well when he was Puffy), Jermaine Dupri, Teddy Riley, Neptunes, R.Kelly, DJ Premier, Janet Jackson, Tim & Bob, Sinead O’connor, Moby, Xscape, Sinbad, Angie Stone, Missy, Beanie Man, Biz Mark, Total, LL Cool J, Da Brat, En Vogue, Boys II Men, Mary J Blige, Will Smith, Bob Marley, Brandy, LSG, Common, Kane, Macy Gray, Rah Digga, KRS 1, Queen Latifah, YoYo, Chuck D, Faith, Sugarland and soooo many others.

I’ve worked for and along side huge corps including AT&T, Nike, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Wherehouse, Jordan Brand, Tide, BET Network, VH1, MTV Network, IBM, Proctor & Gamble, Target, Wal-mart, McDonalds, Mattel, Star Trek, MGD, Hennessy, Motions, Universal/NBC, Grammy Organization, My Black is Beautiful and many others.

All of the above mentioned to paint a broad picture of what your career in entertainment can look like after hard work and dedication. Throughout all these many relationships formed I have had an enormous amount of fun doing the work I love to do. It’s never been about the money and it never will be. The focus is creating works that are more than just authentic but truly appealing to one’s self. The question then becomes, “DO YOU LOVE WHAT YOU CREATE?”

"My Mic Sounds Nice:A Truth About Women In Hip Hop" On BET






For the first time BET (Black Entertainment Television)has finally created a documentary showcasing some of the rawest female talent we have had a chance to listen to throughtout the years, such as, Queen Latifah, Rah Digga, Eve, Mc Lyte and many more. The documentary airs tomorrow August 30th at 10pm EST. Tune in. Throughtout the years the female rap presence was surely missing or was badly promoted. Starting a new generations of fresh voices and styles maybe what we need to keep our women of hip hop on the forefront or,  maybe we will relive this void once again.



Check the trailer above.
