When and how did you first become interested in music? I became interested in music at the age of 10. From writing and playing the piano and drums at the age of 12. I started to perform and do little shows.. how I became interested in music was the first time I ever heard "Naughty" by Nature Hip Hop Hooray. I use to dance in front of the TV every time the song would come on. The beat and the lyrics stoke to me ever since I was young... How long have you been creating music? I been creating music since I was 10. I started with poetry and ended up writing my own songs, and producing my music with the poems I would write. Who are your musical inspirations?  My musical inspirations are Michael Jackson, Kid N Play, Usher, and Kanye West. If you could describe your music in 3 words, what would you call it? truthful, joyful, lifting Do you think your music is mostly enjoyed more for the beats or for the lyrical flow and content? I would say it would be both. The artist that I work with, I pick out to be on a certain track, that I feel would be good for the both of us. I feel it would bring more to just the beat…I would say the lyrics are what make the song. We talk about what we go through, or been through. We make sure to let people know that their not the only ones feeling the war that they feel. Studlyfenation How do you separate yourself from other artists? I separate myself from the others by working with the best, and helping others. I listen to their music first, before I choose who I want to work with…I’m picky but not that picky on working with others. The reason why I say picky is because, I want to make sure whoever I choose to do a track with, they have a different flow then others.  Make sure they can deliver right. I also strive to work with people who never had the chance to tell their stories, so I make sure to book studio time for them and work with them. I’m very different from other artist..by saying that, I’m not the cocky "all-in-your-face" type of artist.  What do you hope to do with your music?   I hope to share with the world my music and my movement Studlyfenation. I want to help the LGBT artist have their talent be seen and heard. Not just musicians, I want to help all types of artist, that people don’t really pay that much attention to. What in your opinion is the biggest barrier an artist like yourself, has to face and overcome, to gain any commercial success? I feel being a stud.  We have to face what we look like and how we dress. Like in order to gain the commercial success.
