I grew up listening to: Gospel music. My grandmother is an amazing singer and has received several stellar awards in the gospel world. She's who I look up to and definitely who I listened to.

Most people don't know I: Starred in the Oscar-nominated Documentary Rize about the Krump Dancing Movement in L.A.

My style's been compared to: The Dream & R. Kelly.

My standout records and/or moments to date have been: "This D" being added to regular rotation on my hometown radio station Power 106. Uncle Snoop Dogg bringing me out for 14,000 people and telling them "I Got Next!"

My goal in Hip-Hop is: Ro make my mark as an artist... then producer/songwriter... I want to use my status to build my brand (clothing). My ultimate goal is to own my own radio station.

I'm gonna be the next: King of R&B.
