what inspired you to start doing graphic design, and when did it first feel like your dream was actually possible?

My grandpa had an android tablet and I [saw a] How to Make Thumbnails on Photoshop Touch Tutorial when I was like 8, and it's been that since then. It felt like my dream was possible when I first started getting free commission work for thumbnails. From then on I just started getting bigger and bigger, creators started tapping in with me. I worked with Duke Dennis, Neon, Pooh Gottie, NolimitJay and a few more big names before I was 12 years old. This is a reason I never gave up, and not that many people from around our way was doing the designing sh*t, so I always felt special and different doing it.

a lot of people dont know that you make music, do you view it as a chip on your shoulder or a hidden advantage and why?

I feel [like] it’s a hidden advantage, I use what I’m better at (Cover Art), then boom, show them folks my music and grab 'em in more. I feel [like] it’s a method.

what moment in your career thus far has confirmed how far you can take your dream?

Really just working with bigger names over the years. I’ve worked with DuB, Miles Bridges, Raq Baby, Boosie and a lot more. This showed me that there isn’t a cap on this sh*t, and I also learned you never know who’s watching, so never give up.

had it not been for what you are currently doing, what do you feel like you'd be doing right now?

Still hustling, maybe lawn care or something like that, I always loved things of that nature since a lil boy.

where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?

Finally breaking through and being set where I would like to be.

if you had one last idea, statement or thought to give to the world, what would it be ?

To win, you have to face adversity. If you feel like everything is too easy, peaches and cream, you already in a bad situation. Also keep God with you and always put him first.
