However I always say patience is a virtue never rush the time because timing is everything, so I never try and push something into place i just set up goals and start knocking them out in a timely manner.

B.O.S.S. Code stands for Business Over Social Stress.How can you relate with that in your life and career goals?

I can relate because any move that I make I never let it over take me. If something doesn't work out according to how I may map it out, I cant stress about it. Sometimes we have to just let nature take its course, how we deal with things is what strengthens us and I feel that I am too blessed to be stressed. - B.O.S.S CODE MAGAZINE

​What was your inspiration to become an artist?



my inspiration came when I stopped limiting myself.

They say actions speak louder than words, so when I finally started taking action and begin to think outside the box from what I was use to, I then started to see myself , I saw my self as an artist and I took the advantage to set those goals and make it happen.





Explain to us your style of music. What do you want your potential fans to hear when they listen to your body of work?



My style of music is 100 percent authentic and has somewhat of an old school feel mixed with the new school. My style of music is catchy , authentic, and relevant.

​Do you think it's tougher for female artists to gain the recognition they deserve in the music business?​ Why or why not? ​



It really depends on who you are as an artist. I feel every artist is different and unique in their own way.

Your level of confidence and ambition only goes unnoticed if you allow it to. Keep pushing and staying dedicated to what you want your going to get the recognition you deserve regardless. it may not be exactly when you want it but if your ambitious enough to go after it then I you can and will.

My definition of grynd is to push yourself beyond your limits , to grynd is to be consistent with your determination putting all fear aside and having the willingness to accomplish anything you set out to do.





What are some of the biggest lessons you've learned since you've been in this business?



Consistency is key always. And that's just with anything in life , but being consistent with your fans and being consistent with your work you will start to see major changes and things will

Just fall into place .

Music Video by TOOTSIE performing “SWERVE” (Stay In Yo Lane) (c) 2017 GryndSavvy Records - Rapstarvidz

First and foremost the idea behind Swerve is not directed toward anyone in particular, but more of a broad statement. Swerve brings the energy to let others know to keep the drama and hatin over there. The message can be directed towards those people who bring negative vibes. It gives you that excitement to tell someone to stay in their own lane and stop focusing so much on what you have going on in yours. - ON THE SCENE NY
