Describe yourself.
I am a laid back creative but I can summon up enough energy to bring the stage down.
Where have you been?
I have been on a conscious tour raising awareness and the importance of participating in voting. I also just finished my 2nd album, Public Demand. I’m releasing it in April. It has 16 tracks and maybe more for the deluxe version. There are featured artists from here, Congo and Nigeria.
