ESSEX TV & INTERVIEW
KB: Thanks for coming through SR.Gent. First things first, how would you describe your sound?..
I describe my sound as a blend of all that I’ve enjoyed. Meaning that fans will hear remanence of country, pop, rock, elm, and rap when listening to my catalog.
KB: And of course you have a new project coming out ’Sunshine Paradigm’ . Tell us about that and the process involved in creating it?
Creating Sunshine Paradigm was an amazingly good time. I recorded the songs over the course of a year and 2 months. This was done because for each song I got the instrumental and mix/master done by The Legion at a rate of a 1 month, because I am a platinum level member of their subscription service.
KB: What are some of the themes and concepts you included on this project?
The only theme for the project is that each song is perfect for dropping the top and riding on a sunny day. The vision I held in mind while creating it was one of hot days growing up in Tucson, Az.
KB: The song has since garnered quite a good reception on . What has the reception to “Sunshine Paradigm” been like on your end?
I have got great feedback from my peers and industry professionals who say that this project is going to change my life.
KB: Any particular bands or artists you took inspiration from?
I can’t name any one band or artist, but growing up living in different states, and spending 8 years in the army I was exposed to a wide range of music, and to this day listen to multiple genres.
KB: What are your hopes for the new single ‘Sunshine Paradigm’?
I am hoping that Get Loose is well received by the industry and the fans of the grammy award winning featured artist Constantine. This track will be the first single of my career.
KB: What can you tell us about your plans for the rest of 2019?
2019 is closing with a bang, as market and promote Get Loose leading to the release of Sunshine Paradigm on Feb 24, 2019.

That love is the only way forward, regardless of the problem.
