How involved is your musical side on this debut project?
I’m really involved, I’ve written about 85% of my album. I like for my music to come directly from my perspective, I’m not one of those artists you can just hand a song and expect me to sing it, unless it’s a song that’s true to me. I like to write all my music, and I was involved in a lot of the production process.
So, what’s the creative process like for you in the studio?
I did a lot of the album in my house in Miami. I had a little studio setup in my house and my engineer would come through, and we would vibe out all day. That was cool because a lot of times when you go in the studio, you feel really pressured to write something right then, but when you’re in the crib, if you do if you don’t! I also did a lot of writing in my car. When I’m riding around and it’s quiet, that’s when I’m able to really think. I’m not writing when I’m driving, but I freestyle stuff in the car.
