What is the craziest thing you've ever experienced playing a live show?
One of the craziest experiences I have ever had playing at a live show, was actually in New York City during dress rehearsal the day before. I was in the middle of a dance break in one of the songs. I was supposed to do a double back hand spring, which isn't uncommon for me to do since I know how to flip. Those in attendance seemed real into that part in the song and I suddenly had a boost of energy and felt the need to show off. Long story short, instead of keeping things to exactly as I was suppose to do it, I decided to add landing into a split following my double back hand spring. Keep in mind I had not properly stretched prior to all this. So I went into my double back hand spring, jumped up high into the air, and went directly down into a split. I felt immediate pain shoot up my left leg as I later found out at the hospital that I slightly tore the muscle. I toughed it out on pain killers and steroids and still performed the following day, unfortunately somewhat limited due to my injury.
If you could go on a dream world tour with any 3 living artists, who would you take with you?
My top three choices to tag team a world tour with would be Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift, and Jay-Z.
Any big projects in the works for 2016?
I recently released my collaborative debut single with Harmonix Factory called "Get To Know Ya" which is now available on iTunes. I am now prepping to release the remix package to that single in January, I'll be featured on a new single for Jamareo Artis which is set to release around February, and I am currently in the process of negotiating a tour in Asia and prepping my second single release, both for sometime in early 2016. So fingers crossed!
