DMR: You started as a videographer. What influenced or inspired you to choose that career path?
Ans: As a kid, I always wanted to see myself on television. I knew if I was going to make music I needed visuals to go along with it. I use to make videos using a Samsung Galaxy phone. Once I earned enough money, I bought my first camera. I taught myself how to film and also learned a lot from other videographers on YouTube. I got so good at it and decided to become the owner of Ice Breaking Films LLC.

DMR: Do you feel that a song and its music video are connected to each other beyond just visual recreation?
Ans: I always think that a song and its music video are connected. A video brings the song to life and makes it more interesting to listen to and watch.
DMR: Do you direct and create your own music videos?
Ans: I sometimes directed and create my own videos. I find it easier to hire to director when it’s a lot I am wanting to do. Directors help find the resources and make sure I am fully focused on being inside the video as an artist.
