In the artist’s words: Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Take a Toll” One of the most personal tracks on my debut EP, FOSTERED CHILD, this song represents a few different stories from my childhood. Its an opportunity to reflect on what had to be given up to walk a path towards greatness and becoming a balanced man. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Performing live for my FOSTERED CHILD release performance in Brooklyn, New York. It was my first time performing my own music live and the crowd – including friends and family was hype! Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Collaborating with some of the artists who inspired me during my journey. Some Chicago folks like Common and Lupe Fiasco and some of the most soulful artists like Erykah Badu.
