Tell us a little more about when you first got into music?

When I was seven my parents had just divorced and I used to spend a lot of time with my mom listening to house music(urban techno) and RnB. Her favorites at the time were R.Kelly and Janet Jackson. She got me a keyboard and I started taking lessons, and singing in the school choir. I had my first vocal solo the following year.

What are your “5 things I wish someone told me when I first started” and why. Please share a story or example for each.

Not everyone is your friend. Learn how to separate business and friendship, Most people want something for nothing.

Understand what you are, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

I moved to Los Angeles when I was 24 with about $800 in my pocket, enough to get a room, food and a job.

After a few months I was signed to an independent label as a producer, songwriter, engineer and didn’t realize how much value I brought to the team.

I constantly allowed people to take advantage of me thinking it would help me gain new opportunities in my career, and a lot of times it did, but what I learned is constantly underestimating your worth with the wrong people will leave you with nothing or worse, dead.

Queen Bey – Beyoncé Shatters Records With Her Unprecedented 2025 Grammy Nominations

Beyoncé

Beyoncé is once again making headlines. After dominating the music scene, blazing through a record-breaking “Renaissance” tour, and launching a successful whiskey brand, SirDavis, weren’t enough, she’s now rewriting history at the Grammy Awards. In March, she took the world by storm with her eighth studio album release, COWBOY CARTER, which continues to echo across the charts. This year, the superstar has earned a stunning 11 Grammy nominations, setting a new record as the female artist who has ever received the most nominations in a single year. Once again, Beyoncé has firmly redefined what it means to be a trailblazer in the music industry, proving there are no limits to what she can achieve.

The 11 nods mark a new personal best for Beyoncé, who previously shared the long-standing record with Lauryn Hill at 10 nominations apiece. Hill achieved the feat in 1999, and Beyoncé first met that mark in 2010. The sheer range speaks volumes about her artistic versatility, relentless ambition, and unmatched status in the music industry. But with 2025 nominations, Beyoncé genuinely shines brightly in major categories like Record of the Year, Album of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance. Queen Bey’s fierce presence reinforces her iconic status in music in a highly competitive Grammy race that includes powerhouses like Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, and Billie Eilish.

This news arrives at an exciting time amidst swirling controversy. Despite COWBOY CARTER’s undeniable genre-bending success and Beyoncé’s well-received pivot into country influences, she was left out this year at the Country Music Awards and the People’s Choice Country Awards. With 17 nominations at the PCCAs, she walked away empty-handed, raising eyebrows across the industry. While Beyoncé soars on the Grammy stage, she’s faced notable snubs in the country music realm. A legend of the genre, Dolly Parton even commented on the snub in an interview with Variety, reflecting, “There’s so many wonderful country artists that, I guess probably are in the country music field, they probably thought, well, we can’t really leave out some of the ones that spend their whole life doing that.”

But for Beyoncé, this year’s Grammy nods are more than a consolation prize; they validate her impact. As she heads into Grammy season with 11 nominations, it’s clear that while the country music world might still be playing catch-up, the Grammys recognize Beyoncé’s immense talent. For enthusiasts and music lovers globally, one thing is sure: Beyoncé isn’t just making history. She’s actively reshaping it. Her work demonstrates that there are no limits within her sphere and that records are not intended to endure; instead, they are designed to be rewritten. Consequently, according to her vision and standards, she possesses the ability and intent to continue influencing the music industry.
