I’m so honored and excited to sign with such a legendary label like Blackground, who has cultivated not only the culture of R&B music, but has left an imprint on the world as a whole.
Barry Hankerson is an amazing visionary. He and the label rolled out the red carpet for me and saw the vision, without me even having to explain. Can’t wait for the world to see what’s next because it’s happening now!”
