As an artist who prefers to blend a variety of musical influences, how would you say "On the Inside" reflects this eclecticism regarding your personal sound preference?

"On the Inside" perfectly reflects my style of subversion of genre and blending of genre. It's a song where I vocalize, and rap over a Rock beat, blending multiple genres that aren't normally combined in popular music today. Its a sound I find underutilized and intend on making my signature sound over a long period of time.

The music scene in Jersey City propels me to work hard at making the best quality music I can put out. There are so many young talented artists In Jersey City that the music scene requires the best possible music to keep up. I've garnered lots of influence from the upcoming rappers who work tirelessly to make something out of there music.
