Hello there, welcome to Honk Magazine. Can you tell our readers about what really inspired you to write music?

What really inspired me to write music was seeing how music helped me get through so many moments in life. Just forget and rock out to them 808s banging, that’s what really got me into creating beats and writing music. So now when someone else is down in my life, music is there too, “PLAY” forget about your problems and rage!

When did you realize you were going to make music professionally?

I realized I wanted to make music professionally at around the age of 14. When you grow up check to check, you get an understanding at a pretty young age, if you want to do something you love for the rest of your life you gotta hustle and get to a professional level. Music is what I LOVE so that’s what I did.

Tell us what is so unique about you and your music?

What’s unique about me and my music is that I grew up with my mom playing classic rock, my dad playing Motown, my uncle playing 90’s rap, and I grew up on 2000’s hits. So I got a wide range of music genres in my head and mashed it all together to get ROSEBUD. I got club banger beats, with Hip-hop/Pop vocals, with a dash of rock-rager vibes.

Can you tell us about your latest releases and what inspired you to create them?

My latest release was my song called “SAVIOR”, what inspired me to create it was what I’ve been preaching, forget your problems, don’t take life so seriously, and TURN UP. The song talks about how I was in a dark space and my girlfriend made me love life again and then she went into a dark space so it was my turn to be the “SAVIOR”. Now, whenever either of us is feeling down we turn that song up to max and forgive and forget.

Can you give us a brief insight into your upcoming projects?

My next upcoming project is a summertime banger. The song is called “TOW IT”, hard 808’s, high tempo, club banger. It’s about flexing with my friends, talking my shit, and having fun with my girl, High ENERGY.

What do you wish you were told when you first started making music that you think would help artists just starting out?

I wish I was told when I first started making music that I think would help artists just starting out, would be that no one is going to do it for them. The way technology and music are now, you gotta hustle, hustle, hustle and the opportunity is going to come. Can’t think someone just gonna bring you up out of nowhere, unless you have a famous relative or money lol but if you grew up like me, you gotta do it all yourself and people are gonna come into the picture and respect your grind.

What do you do when you don’t do music (creative or otherwise) that you are passionate about?

Before I took music as a career I played Basketball 24/7. I’m 6’4, hit 6 feet at 14, grew up playing pickup games in Harlem, NYC, and actually got scouted to play in some young leagues. Other than that I love to go sliding in my widebody charger scat pack!

Any last piece of advice for those artists who just started making music?

keep putting music out, that’s the only way to start a fanbase for your music, and don’t be afraid to fail, because everybody fails a few times on their way to success.
