A: Well i never wanted to be a "local artist". Ive always wanted to be heard. growing up in a loud east coast family being heard didn't always happen so its a need for me.

A: I expect them to get what ever it is they may need out of it. I put hella layers into a song. what i mean by that is there is a surface layer with things the casual listener is going to pick up on, then there is a second layer for those who really listen to the lyrics.then i have a third layer for those who really study lyrics and their origins.
