1. As an entrepreneur in the music industry, how do you balance the demands of your career with maintaining a healthy lifestyle, particularly when it comes to enjoying spirits?
Well for starters, I am a pescatarian on the way to being vegan. When it comes to when I have a show or hit the clubs for promo, I drink only Tequila because I hear they have low sugar. No mix, just on the rocks. I’m not a heavy drinker, just social so I dont think it really is a problem at all.
2. With your experience in both the rap scene and entrepreneurship, how do you perceive the intersection between music culture and business leadership?
I think, especially in 2024 they go hand in hand. Even if you are signed to a major label, it is a lot of business you have to handle on your own. The better you are as an independent entrepreneur the smoother your career will go.
3. If you were to create a signature cocktail that embodies your journey and style, what ingredients or flavors would it include, and what would you name it?
I think the perfect drink would be similar to a Long Island Iced Tea, so maybe I would name it the West LA Kool Aid. A mix of a few liquors that represent the different paths I’ve endured and mix some good kool aid for the way I think it’s all turned out. Life is Sweet and I learned a lot, highs and lows.
4. You’ve collaborated with a variety of artists throughout your career. How does networking and collaboration play a role in your success, both in music and in business?
It is the music business. One thing I’ve learned that is probably rule number one is relationships. They will make the difference in the end. The way you treat people on your way up will reflect if you are ever on your way down. And what goes up must go down at some point, so your relationships will be the difference between coming back up or staying down forever.
5. Your hit single “Buzzin'” garnered massive attention. Can you share a memorable moment or experience where a particular spirit or cocktail played a significant role in celebrating a career milestone?
I will say, I turned 21 in London and during that time my drink of choice was Jack Daniels. So that was a Crazy birthday experience where I definitely over did it but in a way I do not regret. Getting back to my hotel room when the sun was coming up drunk outta my mind, drifting in and out of consciousness. What a life
