I have a really tight-knit group of friends who are constantly supporting and pushing me to move forward. Have there been specific people in your life who have motivated you to pursue rapping as a career? How did you start rapping and how did it progress? She is such a strong person and a true inspiration. I think my biggest influence in my life is my mom though she’s a hard worker and has put me in the position to be able to pursue what I love. Honestly I’m just inspired by music in general. Who are some of the most influential rappers and musicians that have inspired you creatively? Is there a major influence of yours that would surprise most people? I hope everyone takes what they need to from this project, there are so many different concepts and stories on this project there should be something for everyone! It really makes you see things in a different light when you see what everyone else is going through in the world and being able to relate to people from all different countries and different walks of life. I get to share my story with the world and also get to hear/read the stories of so many other people. I’ve been blessed to have taken that chance, to be able to do what I love everyday, and have people love what I do. Most people don’t take the chance to pursue what they actually love, and I get it because there is a ton of risk involved most of the time. It’s the most rewarding feeling in the world. What do you hope people get out of this record? What do you get out of sharing it with them? What does it mean to have an audience that is very visibly excited to hear songs that are so personal to you? It feels amazing to have it out and seeing how people have been reacting to all of our heard work so far. This album touches on all the ups and downs of that process. The title is kind of ironic because “Dreaming With Our Eyes Open” is really just reality, it’s that process of taking that thought, idea, dream, and turning it into your reality where it no longer is just a dream. I spent many, many months in my bedroom and at a park near my house conjuring up lyrics and concepts, I got to watch the seasons change three times while working on the creative process of this project. Sometimes you get lucky and everything just falls right into place exactly how it was meant to though. It’s the base of everything, everything from the concept, to the production, or the lyrics, to the mixing and mastering have to be perfectly in sync and that normally takes some time.
