[LL] How long have you been interested in music for?

[CB] I've been interested in music since i could speak. Something about music always got my attention. I always associated music with something good. I remember my junior high dances & the feeling I would get when I heard a particular song was so unexplainable! It Gave me the courage to talk to the the finest girl in the room lol

[LL] How did you get started?

[CB] I officially got started after high school. I joined an R&B group called Image with three of my friends,Shane,Ryan,Eric and we did show's all across the New England area, we created a big buzz. After a couple of years we decided to go our separate ways.

[LL] Is music just a hobby or do you plan on pursuing it as a career?

[CB] Music is me, I don't really like labeling it. I love doing this regardless of anything. A Career is my goal definitely.

[LL] What made you decide to pursue music as a career?

[CB] I'm feeling like drake " i want this shit forever man". Its the only thing i wanted to do since childhood that i never let go of. Music defines me, its who I am!

[CB] One of my highlights was performing in Cape Verde and opening up for Akon. That was an amazing experience and I enjoyed every moment of it.
