Lisa: What has been the biggest surprise so far about making music your career? What has been an unexpected or welcome challenge to it all?

Tabaris: My biggest surprise would have to be people I have never know reaching out telling me about my music. That felt amazing. Even a few major artist.

Challenge wise would have to be asking myself what next.. ? How can I do better. Who to work with and why. Just always want to out do myself.

Lisa: Do you tend to follow any pre-defined patterns when composing a song?

By making a business. New online clothing business, Food Catering and more.. and these people are making money!  plus I felt like this song is a club banger and would get people moving.

Hurt was done for those who did not have anyone for Valentine’s Day. just felt like people could relate vs having a relationship or not. I just would always try to keep songs relatable!

Lisa: How did you document the music while it was being formulated?

Tabaris: It all depends on the mood that I am in. Sometimes stuff just comes to me and I my write them down and safe it. Other times I might just freestyle and clean it up.

Lisa: Describe your approach to recording.

Tabaris: I love hearing what producers send me so please reach out haha. I honestly will play the beat for maybe 15 to 30 seconds. After that I will upload it and just take whatever route I’m feeling at the moment. The beat definitely has to put me in a mind set.

Lisa: What non-musical entities and ideas have impacted your music?

Tabaris: I tend to look at everything as a business. overall I try to think ahead asking myself what can I do next. I look at this as stepping tools. The music gives me motivation to keep going.. Especially when people reach out to me about it.
