What was it that initial thing that attracted you to the art of storytelling? 
>> It was Michael Jackson's Offthe-Wall album and um and this movie called The Whiz. 
But um and then it was probably like movies like Kramer versus Kramer and and even um freaking um Revenge of the Nerds. 
All these movies I used to love and like watch when I was young. 
>> And even seeing theater that made me say, "Man, I want to do something." 
I didn't know what it was and I had to find my avenue. 
And when hip-hop came, that was the beginning for me of my artistry cuz I felt like really connected to it. 
It it it represented me and gave me a way to express myself. 
And then I found more I stepped in and evolved and even um continued to go and like found acting and then that became another form of artistry and expression for me. 
So hopefully I'll be writing scripts and stuff soon. 
But yeah. 
They will.
