You’re a known filmmaker and producer today. What made you start as a producer? How it all began?

Frankly, I have been in love with filmmaking since my childhood. In fact, I’ve thrived in an environment where I used to wear different hats acting, writing, editing... etc. I think, in Hollywood, you have to play various roles until you come across the right opportunity and grab it.

Did you ever imagine the television show that you produced ‘For the love of Ray J’ will turn into such a big hit?

Ray J is my brother and I always knew “For The Love of Ray J” would be a big hit. We needed a network that supported the project from storylines to the vision. JeffOlde at the time was at VH1 and he gave us full support and allowed me to produce the project the way I wanted. Happy that we were the first reality show with a soundtrack!

Now, you have a documentary series about the former NBA star Lamar Odom who was married to Khloe Kardashian coming out soon. What can people expect to see?
