What makes you a good boyfriend: I am all about what makes someone happy. I know what a good time is. If that means going to the latest party, hanging out by the nearby pool or just enjoying the free spirited night away. Having a good time is making sure that my partner is comfortable but laughing her ass off. I am a big mediator. I always want to know what is on someone’s mind, whether positive or not, I am here to support my partner. I think being a good boyfriend is just being your partner’s backbone and lifeline and I know I can do that.
Tell us something surprising about your life that we’d never know: No one knows I graduated with a political science degree. I was part of the debate team and everything. I continue to protest from time to time but music is pushing me a whole lot farther than damn politics.
List 3 adjectives that would surprise people about you:
Inspirational
Logical
Argumentative
What is your life motto: Man, grab life by the horns and ride the bull.
Do you have siblings? I have an older twin sister named Capella and a 21 year old brother named Jazz.
Do you drink alcoholic beverages? What’s your favorite drink? I am a social drinker but absolutely. I love a cold Sweet and Spicy. Man, those hit the gut quick!
Have you ever been engaged or married? I was engaged to my ex girlfriend about 4 years ago. I told her I wasn’t pursuing politics anymore in my junior year of college. Was she mad, sure. Did I care, absolutely. But if you are mad because of my career choice then I am sorry to disappoint. Three weeks after the break up, she ended up dating someone else in law school.
Please describe your ideal mate in terms of physical attraction and in terms of personality attraction. So physically, I love a woman who has a gleam in their eye. I love brown eyes because I think they are just beautiful to stare at. Now, I love a curvaceous woman. I mean, have you been to Sulani? 😭 But shape to me, truly doesn’t matter. Personality is my key. I love someone bold and someone who isn’t afraid to speak their mind. However, they must have compassion in their heart for why they’re bold, not just being rude, y'know? I need someone to match my heart when it comes to standing up for something that is right. I desire a passionate woman who can meet me in the middle. Someone who I can lay with at night who will debate with me, talk with me, laugh with me and enjoy togetherness. I want someone who knows how to keep company and have a great time doing it.
What is most important, physical attraction or personality when first meeting someone? Did you read my whole speech about passion? Personality is what connects us to the soul more than a face. A personality is something that ties two people together, not a face. A face will grow old and wrinkle…who cares about that. You should be in love with the person, not the body A soulmate is what I’m here for, not a hook up.
What are your hobbies and interests?
Well, when I’m not producing or mixing at the club, I am always in the mood for the arts and outings. Casbah Gallery is my favorite place to be when I need to clear my head.
I travel to different cities and enjoy the views of what they have to offer. Del Sol Valley and Windenburg have some tremendous sites. I also go to their nightclubs and bars for leisure. Traveling is my favorite thing to do if San Myshuno gets overwhelming.
I love blues, hip-hop, island and singer songwriter music.
Lastly, I just developed a passion in video gaming. I’m surprised I didn’t sooner!
What have you not found but would like to have in a relationship? My engagement was sour because my ex fiancee only cared for her outcome in life based on what I did. Because my music career “wasn’t going to support her”, she called it quits. I want someone to accept me for who I am, not for what I have. Listen, yes, I produce music and travel. Yes, I have fun and meet celebrities. But understand one thing: my life is not super luxurious. I live in a condo and sell records to labels. I am still a man. I am still a human behind these clothes.
