How long have you been playing open mic nights?

Why did you get into playing them in the first place?

I wanted an opportunity to express myself and bless people with my voice.

What advice would you give new performers who are just starting out playing their first open mics?

Be confident and daily work towards improving their craft.

What’s the hardest thing, for you, about playing open mics?

Rehearsals – and getting my Karaoke sounds for performance.

What’s the most bizarre, or fun, open mic, or gig, you’ve ever played, and why?

The Charing of the crowd to my amazement even when I didn’t made much preparation and was beating myself so hard for not hitting it right. The crowd saw my performance in a different light and where thrilled by it contrary to my opinion.

If it’s not already, are you hoping to make music your full-time career?

Yes

What do you currently find the hardest and biggest obstacles to moving your music career forward?

Support team and record label willing to promote my song and you know being in that supportive environment. No doubt, am a good singer & performer, however, I just need support toward getting value / financial remuneration from it so I can commit to it fully.

What’s the one truth about you that people often find surprising?

My music… I may or most often appear to people uninteresting or not fun to be with because I often love to work in solitude. However, when I sing – people recognize am a talent.
