Generally, I cook from the soul and measure by eye, throwing in this and that along the way. But I want to be a certified chef. That's one of my goals. ”

I would love to do something with many artists, you know: Fantasia, Cardi B, Lil Wayne, J.Lo, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson. There's so many of them! All of them are iconic in their own way and to collaborate with any of those artists of that magnitude would be such an honor for me because I grew up listening to them and I love their music. ”

I'm a bounce artist, straight born and raised from New Orleans, Louisiana, and I love what I do. ”

Definitely practice in the mirror before you attempt it. You have to use your body in the upright position, you can use your knees for support and that's the only way you can twerk. ”

I grew up in a Baptist church my whole life. ”

People should be able to do what they want in life and not be judged or put in a box or a category. ”

Bounce is taking flight all over the globe. New York especially, and L.A., Canada, Portland, Washington. It keeps getting bigger and bigger. ”

I'm always honored to see my music and New Orleans Bounce make its way into mainstream culture. ”

The bigger artists are definitely looking and paying attention to the culture and the style of bounce music. ”

I'm steady trying to make this bounce stuff mainstream and do some wonderful and great things for the culture of New Orleans. ”
