Q) Who are some of your musical influences?

Q) Talk about the story behind your new song “Energy.”

 

A) “Energy” is all about the music that comes from the heart, it’s soulful and inspiring. It’s not your typical love song, but rather an emotional and powerful call to my fans.

 

Q) What do you think it is about the song that fans connect to?

Q) What is your song writing process? Do you need music before you can create lyrics?

 

A) When I go into the studio it’s normally Hollywoodsos who is my co-writer and producer, Gregory Grinds who is my engineer and producer and myself it’s a really relaxing session we choose through beats and jump right into the booth and start “free styling” that’s how the writing happens!
