    How long have you been singing? Since I was 8 years old

    Who is your greatest influence?My fatherReverend Isaac Alfred, Jr.

    Youre a preachers kid, how has that impacted your life choices and music?It has greatlyimpacted my life to where I have never said when I get older I dont want to go to church.

    Ive always loved following my father and imitating him singing and his way of life which is

    following Christ.

    Where did you get your creative inspiration?From my father, he always gives it his all.

    Why did you releaseSo Amazing?Because my friend presented an offer that I couldn't refusewhich was to record me and write for me. This was a desire of my heart to record a single and

    include my dad, I also had the funds and the time to go into the studio.

    What has been the biggest obstacle in your music career? The dream killer: fear.

    What advice do you have for up and coming singers? When you sing for Christ be sure its

    from your heart and not just a show. God blesses what He endorses. Youll know when its your

    season.

    Is there anything else you would like to share? Singing is a way for me to share the GoodNews of Jesus Christ and what He has done in my life. I know that there are some who may not

    pick up a bible to read Gods Word but they will know about Him through a song and I hope

    and pray its one of mine.
