FM:How did you become involved in the entertainment industry and the amount of time you've been doing what you do? and who have been your biggest influences?
IQ:Honestly, I became involved in the entertainment industry through pure curiosity. Years ago, A family friend brought over some production software that I grew to like. After buying program-after-program, I eventually felt like I had enough drive and knowledge to pursue a career. I'm going on my 4th year in the business and it sometimes feels like a dream to be able to mingle with some of my idols like Polow Da Don and others.
FM:What is the biggest sacrifice you've had to make to get where you are today and do you have any regrets?
IQ:Sleep! I hardly get to rest or eat healthy because of how hectic my schedule can get. I sacrifice my well being everyday. But, I believe that hard work pays off, so I work hard to meet my goals, even if that means staying up a few days at a time!
FM:How you want your image to be branded to the public? And how did you gain the sponsorship of H&M?
IQ:I'd like to think that I have a clean-cut image. Groomed at all times, and dressed to impress! H&M is a clothing company that has always allowed me to dress comfortably for any occasion, no matter what budget I was working with. I'd been wearing H&M daily years before the sponsorship, so in my mind, it only made since to approach them. They agreed, and now I help get the word out at all of the major music events around the nation!

The song was called "What Happened" written and performed by D'Maesstro. When the record went to number one on the Independent charts, then I knew I had what it takes!
FM:Moving forward who would you like to work with? And what things do you have planned for the future?
