 Q. How old were you when you decided that you wanted to be an artist? A.I knew I wanted to be an artist at the age of 14. I always wrote raps and listened to hip-hop music starting with the real old LL Cool J tapes my older cousins had, yes tapes. Q. What inspires your music? A. My music gets inspired by what's around me and high energy beats always win with me. I like my music to grab your attention and lyrically I try and stay as clever as possible if you listen closely. Q. Does where you are from influence your music? A. Most definitely, being from Jacksonville/Orange Park, when I started forming my style you can hear the Southern influences from the lyrics to the beats in my music. When I moved to Orlando to attend UCF I added an electro side to my hip-hop that you can hear in my single Life of The Party. I think you have to appeal to your area and also learn from your surroundings. Q. How has the music business changed your life? A. It's definitely added an element of belief in yourself when you achieve each goal that you set for yourself. I've been able to share stages with some major Artist's in the game, work with some of the best producers, and see places I never would have been able to go before without the biz. Q. Who in the business have you enjoyed working with so far? A. Working with multi-platinum producer Gary Carolla has taught me the most, and has provided the most enjoyment. When you finally get that person who believes in your talent, and has the accolades to back it up, it's priceless. Q. In your opinion, who is the hottest artist out right now that you would like to work with? A. I would like to work with Future, he's real original on the track and not scared to try new things. That's the way I try and approach my music, doing what no one else currently is, creating your own style. Q What project are you currently working on? A. Currently I am working on promoting my single Life of The Party and getting it to out to the masses. The video treatment is being done for the official music video, and the live performance version is currently on YouTube. The song is also available on all digital retailers, and is produced by Coda Collins. Q. What turns you on the most or inspires you when it comes to the women in your life? A. What turns me on about women is their willingness to never give up and stay positive no matter what's going on in their lives. If a woman is going to be in my life she has to understand the nature of the business and all of the things that come along with it. Q. What has been your craziest groupie moment? A. Hmmm…there might have been this triple kiss things with two nice young ladies but the details are hazy lol Q. What is the riskiest thing you have ever done in your career? A. 5,000 Investment in Label Meetings, gotta spend it to try to make it happen. Q. What are your final words for the ladies or industry advice? A. Ladies your beautiful love yourselves because I love you. Industry wise, focus on a single not an album let em get you first, then give em all you got. Q. What is one thing you would like to share with your fans that they don’t know about you? A.I used to want to go to the NBA and played HS Basketball, but I capped out at 6'2 lol. I also enjoyed drawing, but switched and write a lot more when it comes to the music. Q. What industry outside of music would you like to work in one day? A. I would like to own my own franchise of some sort, get to those corporate American dollars, this is AMERICA!!! lol Q. Where can people go to hear and see more of your work? A. The best place to hear my music streaming for free is on SoundCloud at www.soundcloud.com/dubtmusic.

 I was also the lead guitarist of EASE (www.reverbnation.com/easetheband) and this is my own personal music. Some of the work that is done on this page is music prepared on a 4 track back in the 90s, apologies for any errors. Would hope to remix all the old tracks shortly. Recently I have been more in the music production side, such as managing Salvatore Sgarlata (www.reverbnation.com/salvatoresgarlata). I intend to focus on this side in the future.

I sing in other languages including: Italian, French & Spanish. I was interested in music from a young age - I sang in a choir, at private events and on live broadcast as well as having tried my hand at a number of instruments. Despite years of performing at many, including iternational venues, my career never came in to focus; until recently. I set myself the task of finding a publisher. I found Erik McCall. Erik McCall (former lead guitarist of EASE) is currently my manager and publisher. With Erik I have created my début single "Tell Me Baby". It was written by Erik McCall with additional music and lyrics from myself. To date: "Tell Me Baby" is in three languages. After which I recorded the song "Another World: 2012 (Charity Single)" 50% of the proceeds will go to charity and we have chosen UNICEF. The song is available to buy on iTunes, eMusic and Amazon. Please download as it goes to a very worthy cause. Coming soon there will be lots of songs. The style is a unique mix of rock/pop/jazz. I hope there will always be something for everyone in my music.

Choclate City radio presents Choclate Love Vol 1 This mixtape is for lovers wanting some good music to f*ck to! Thank you for listening! We are breaking records with listens on MixtapeConnect.com 22,650 listens thus far! Download it here: Choclate Love Vol 1 With Choc Mami, Espy, and DJ Takeova via mixtapeconnect: MixtapeConnect.com I am showing off my flexibility in so many ways this year. I made a promise to myself to step it up a notch. I failed to get Riding Da Choclate Wave vol 1 together for everyone to listen due to issues with a dj's chosen to host it. So I decided to do something special for Feb 14 a special day for lovers. I gave you Choclate Love vol 1. I cant even lie about how nervous I was about this mixtape. I didnt want to fail and I decided to get a strong ass supporting cast. I got Dj Takeova and Espy to help me host it. Then i got some of the nicest RnB singers to bless it with some of their tracks. I had issues with getting to the studio so I downloaded a program on my laptop and i took my ass in my closet and recorded my drops for the mixtape. After listening to Espy and the shit he was saying, I had to be a lil special and keep it balanced. The Dj Takeova added his special toiuch and mixed the hell out of the tracks and drops. It was a very well put together project. So it was only fair that I feature all the artist on the mixtape in this months issue. I had a few lil setbacks with the cover not being done on time and having to get someone to do it on the fly. Then there were a few errors on the mixtape. But once I got all of those minor things fixed, the mixtape was dropped and the rest is history as we say. By time this article is out, the mixtape will be well over 15,000 listens. Not bad for my first mixtape. Im so impressed with how well this one did, that im going to drop 2 more that will consist of hip-hop and rap. Then another RnB mixtape. Im so excited about my future mixtapes. I would personally like to thank Dj Takeova, Espy, Mike Bless, Motre, Kiwanee, Losiel, shun Ward, Vin Keatin, Sincere Grant, Ray Voughn and J harden. But most importantly, I have to thank you for listening to the mixtape and supporting me and all that I do. I love you guys and I promise to continue to give you my all.   Hell Boy ElRoy bka Drag-on is making a major comeback. I have been a big fan of his since his Ruff Ryder's days. He is back on the scene with The Crazies mixtape series and his own record label Hood Enviroment. He has several artist on the project bringing the heat in only a way that Hell Boy ElRoy can do.
