Mychal, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. How did you learn to do what you do? Knowing what you know now, what could you have done to speed up your learning process? What skills do you think were most essential? What obstacles stood in the way of learning more?

I am self taught in everything I know music wise, Growing up in a violent and poverty stricken neighborhood there wasn’t many opportunities for kids to grow up and actually learn so I made sure I used my time in the house wisely by making sure I was always improving in some manner. Honestly I wouldn’t speed anything up if anything I would’ve just made sure to tell my younger self to DO NOT STOP because I taught myself all the tools needed to succeed, I just needed to develop the mindset to win.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
