[Left] “My dad used to DJ, I have a bunch of cousins...I’ve always been around music, so I naturally progressed into it. I’ve been blessed to meet the right people to get me to where I’m at too.

I don't have that relationship with a lot of people, so I think just building that over the years has been pretty amazing.”
