Well in the pandemic is really when you seen an spike in remote work it wasn’t even that many remote jobs but being in the digital space we always kind of worked remote because you basically using laptops are your cellphone to do most work so already having a system in place or a since of remote work before pandemic made the transition quite easy for remote work cause we was used to that way

Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?
The most effective strategy has been utilizing the social media platforms in the digital world There is the Internet now and you have this thing where you can contact anybody in the world basically when you utilize This tool We’ll be able to put Brands products movies shows music that you will be able to put these things in front of people around the world no matter where you where your at are from so that alone is a great place to get clientele not only that but you build brand awareness as well so I would definitely have to say that is an intricate part of my strategy.
Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?
Well I was told That I would never be able to drop a musical project worldwide without being signed to a major label and that propelled me for a person to tell me what i can and can’t do like its was impossible for me to do it so which at this time youtube wasn’t even really a thing only song platforms for artist was MySpace and limewire so in there minds what they said to me was logical but for me it was only an obstacle to hurdle the fact That this person felt I would never be able to drop a musical project worldwide without being signed to a major label I had something to prove and i did starting with mixtapes and getting my singles on dj mixtapes
