Today's guest is proof that you don't need a major label to build something real. Coming out of Boston, Massachusetts, he started making music as a teenager and quickly became one of the most talked-about emerging artists in his city.

Inspired by artists like Mac Miller, he released his debut album Lonely, MA in 2017 and hasn't slowed down since. His music has reached millions of listeners, including his breakout track No Mo, which has amassed over 3 million streams on Spotify.

But what really stands out is his independent mindset. From launching the DIY Junkyard Jam Tour across backyards and unconventional venues in America to taking his music internationally with The Gold Standard Tour, he's built his career on authenticity, connection, and doing things his own way.

Today we're talking music, touring, independence, creativity, hip-hop culture, and the journey that's brought him here.
