I rebranded in 2024 approaching music in a different view a more serious one. Ya'll could find on all platforms under Preddie I’ve got 2 EP’s out a few singles and my debut album “things i meant to tell you…”

Mistah Wilson: First & foremost, let's zoom in on your upbringing. What was life like growing up on tha East Coast for you?
Preddie: My upbringing on the east coast was cool. I would say it’s fast paced growing up on the east coast and I grew up in a very diverse part of town. Growing up the youngest of 3. I have a brother and sister and a lot of cousins we grew up with So it was a lot of family functions good Caribbean eats Trinidadian food and Nicaraguan food.

Mistah Wilson: If you could only recommend one of your songs to a new potential fan, which one would it be and why?
Preddie: If I could only recommend one of my songs it would be Rockstar. B/c it’s one of my favorite songs to perform live and one of the first songs I made when I changed artist names and rebranded.

Mistah Wilson: From your perspective, how would you describe tha current state of R&B music today?
Preddie: To be honest with you I don’t know too much about the state of R&B right now besides it ain’t that boombox outside in the rain type R&B any more. But it’s a couple artist I got in my music rotation for sure.

Mistah Wilson: Who are some artists or musicians who have inspired you to become tha artist you are today?
Preddie: Some artist who inspired me would be a mix of a lot of artist I listened to growing up as a kid or hearing from older siblings or aunts. DMX, lil Wayne, OutKast / Big Boi / Nate Dogg / J Cole / Kendrick Lamar / Isaiah Rashad / Curren$y / Big K.R.I.T/ Z- RO/

Mistah Wilson: What goals do you plan on accomplishing thru your music?
Preddie: I wanna inspire someone, anyone to chase your dreams because anything is possible if you believe and you work hard enough you can achieve things you never even thought of doing before. Create more but the best music I can possibly create by learning more about sounds / instruments / writing styles and flows and just experiment and enjoy the process of creation.

Mistah Wilson: What have been some more of tha rewarding things you've experienced as an artist thus far?
Preddie: Some rewarding things I’ve experienced was 1. Putting together my own show that was a hectic but good time! Had the homies on a lineup a lot of people showed up more than expected and we had an amazing show it was incredible. Also people I don’t know coming up to me complimenting my songs and letting me know how it makes them feel is a beautiful thing and something that keeps me going for sure.

Mistah Wilson: What positive, encouraging words would you give to aspiring musicians today?
Preddie: Don’t accommodate your dreams for anybody! Everyone has an opinion but not everyone has the courage to chase after something they love and work extremely hard at. Even through the days that feel bunched together remember to celebrate the small wins and achievements just as much as the big ones because it all starts from a thought to action to reality and anyone’s capable of being there best if you put your mind to it.
