In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Back in middle school, I played trumpet and saxophone as part of a band at a private school. Then, come freshman year of high school, I switched things up and joined the chorus—trading instruments for vocals and diving into a whole new side of music. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Bryson Tiller, Bryson Tiller Cozz, Cozz & Effect DaniLeigh, Easy (Remix) [feat. Chris Brown] - Single I really vibe with Chris Brown’s music, he always brings this insane energy and raw emotion that pulls you in. Bryson Tiller’s sound is a whole mood too; his dark R&B vibes just hit different. And Cozz? His storytelling is so real and relatable. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? It’s been such a blessing running into fans while out and about in my hometown, Atlanta. There’s nothing like connecting face-to-face with the people who support you—real love, real energy. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I dream of selling out shows around the world and working with the artists who inspired me—before retirement. R.I.P. to Prodigy, a true legend. I bring real, raw energy, and my mission in life is to inspire others to embrace who they truly are.
