Who's your idol or inspiration for your music?
My father, Steve Robinson III and my Great Uncle Sam Cooke was the reason that I decided to pursue music. I always wanted to produce, write and perform my own music as well as run my own label just like Uncle Sam did. However my mother, sister, niece, uncle, friends and other artist do inspire me. I love it when I see someone who really cares about their craft. Each word they speak is like they're saying it for the first and last time. Good energy also is very important to me, all my friends are good people, who only want the best for me and vice versa. If it wasn't for DJ Fredrock I may have never touched the turntables.
