RECAP 2014

"Bye Bye 2014, you were a great year to me. Indeed, I reached a couple of goals that I was dreaming about and grinding for since I'm a kid.

To name a few : Djing on biggest NYC's venues, working with amazing up and coming artists for my East Coast Draft Mixtape, being a resident DJ for a NYC radio (GID), being at #1 on DjBooth' charts, , making music with Sean Price are things that I always had in my mind and I happily get them this past year.

Moving from Paris to NYC was a big challenge. After a lot of work, I started to enjoy the rewards of my grind on 2014. Also, I could not did reach these goals without you who support my work, artists & peoples that I collaborated with* and my family. So I thank YOU and I thanks God who allowed me to live these  blessed days. 

The year 2015 sounds already exciting with my EP dropping on this first semester, Big Bang Shows and gigs are schedueled & more, I will make sure to still pushing the movement with you guys !

Take care and have a blessed year ! "
