Maverik Perspective on Marty McFly

My song Whoa Ft Samantha J best represents success to me. We worked so hard on it, it was a collaborative effort and we executed the song and the video flawlessly. It was promoted well and reached a global audience. Wyclef reposted it, Missy Elliott liked it and it was the springboard for a lot of other great songs.

Cool, honest, compelling

Bob Marley, Michael Jackson & Biggie. These three artists cover a lot of bases, spiritually, sonically and lyrically. I grew up on their music and my life would not be the same without them.

I lost a wife because I was a musician. She wanted me to quit doing music. I had experienced some success making music and was not trying to quit for her. It just let me know she wasn't really down for the cause and she was not the one for me. We separated and I went on reach even higher heights with my musicianship so I'm confident I made the right decision. In hindsight, we were both young and had different goals in life. I made some great songs as a result of our divorce, so something good came out of it. 

I belive that "once an athlete, always an athlete" Having played competitive sports for the majority of my life, (basketball and football) my music is informed by that lifestyle. I'm always looking for the competitive edge, my lingo reflects that of a baller and I infuse the names of some of my sports heroes into my songs (Jordan, Iverson, Kobe, Randy Moss, Muhammad Ali)

The most significant lesson I've learned is that consistency is key, and never give up on what you believe in.

I remember my cousin (who lives in Jamaica) calling me and telling me my music video was on MTV there. That was a big moment for me. 

Having an artistic look on life is being the eternal optimistic. We strive for perfection knowing it will probably never be achieved. We hope for a better tomorrow and want to make the world a better place than how we found it.

I was a paperboy, a YMCA camp counselor, wrote for a newspaper & was an on air personality for a radio station. 

A sea of people on a tropical island singing every word back to me.

I would eliminate greed and make it about true self-expression.

The artist is here to express themselves, illiciting some sort of response, whether it be positive or negative. An artists job is to show the world from their perspective and make people feel something. Artists should be held in the highest of regard because they are the ones who have the courage enough to be vulnerable.  

Youtube is my favorite medium because you have the visuals to go with the sounds. I take pride in making great music videos.

I would love to do a song with Snoop. First of all he's a legend in my eyes and I know we could make a banger.

I'm offering a unique perspective, something people haven't heard before. I drop jewels to help people succeed in my music. My message is self-confidence amd perseverance, something people can rally behind.

My main goal in doing Music is to inspire. If somebody hears my song and it motivates them or makes them want to make their own song, I've succeeded.

My favorite song is the next one. I just love the ability to create something out of nothing and to have people vibe with that is what I live for.

I want people to feel a connection to me as an artist. Hopefully I say something they can connect to that resonates with them or their experience.

My overarching goal as an artist is to inspire future generations. I hope to bridge social, socioeconomic, racial, and cultural gaps, bringing everyone together thru the universal language of music.

I would go to a Bob Marley concert. I've been told the experience was near spiritual. 

I would describe my music as a mix of beautiful lyricism, knowledge, musicality, universal truths, and a healthy dose of swagger.

I would love to go on tour with J.Cole. I think he is the artist that I am most similar to in term of message and style.

I share the story of what it means to be a Black man from Boston, a hard-working blue collar city. I talk about love, life and making solid choices. The whloe purpose of my life is to inspire. My music is an exercise in self confidence. If you like yourself chances are you'll like my music.

I've gotten more adept at beat selection and my lyrical content has grown tremendously. 

This is a hip hop record with a nostalgic vibe that could crossover into pop.

I decided one day that life is too short to do anything other than what sets your soul on fire. That was the day I went all in as a musician.

My mom says I used to run up to the radio anytime my favorite song was on and bounce. 

I think my Jamaican heritage plays a huge part in my sound. My connection to reggae and dancehall definitely informs my choices musically. I was a huge fan of the Back to the Future franchise as a child and would watch that movie anytime it came on TV.

I am a hip-hop artist from Boston, MA who wants to connect with a global audience sharing my story and making timeless music that inspires.
