7. When it comes to how the music enthusiast listens to your album do you prefer they buy or stream and why?
Of course I would prefer that they purchase my music because this is my work (intellectual property). You can't make a living without getting paid. On the other hand, since my music is intended to inspire, uplift and create an environment for healing then, streaming it is!!!
8. Do you have an album/EP out now that readers should check out or are you about releasing singles?
