What shaped your music?
The shape of my music just comes from the hunger for more Dublin is a small town so we kind of get overlooked but I’m trying to change that because I’m not the only person there that’s spitting but all it takes is for one of to make it through the door and we outta there.

Which goes into your next question…I’m big on east coast hip hop the boom bap sound of the 90s and soulful sound of the early 00s…Im a big Nirvana fan and my favorite overall artist of any genre is bob marley my favorite rapper is biggie tho…damian jr gong tuff too.

What do you wish you were told when you first started making music that you think would help artists just starting out?
My advice to artist that’s just starting out and what I wish I knew when I started is to keep pushing and perfected your style/craft and everybody that’s in your circle don’t want to see you win even if they say they do try to keep your moves silent and prove it with your work.
