1. For many artists, they cite a defining moment for themselves when they knew they wanted to be a singer. For many it was the appearance of Elvis on the Ed Sullivan show, to another generation it was the Beatles’ appearance on Sullivan half a decade later. Is there such a defining moment for you?
My moment was back in 2004 broadcasting live on Net 2004 with my High School Choir over satillite in Baltimore MD. Thousands of Seventh Day Adventist were watching us sing via satillite, I had a solo. Since then people still recognize me and my voice.
2. When you’re not creating music what are you listening to? Who are some of your favorites?
Pandora; Trey Songz, Drake; Darnell Levine, Janelle Monae,India Arie, Jill Scott, John Legend, Maxwell
3. What would you say is your greatest moment so far as an artist, either on record or live?
My Album Release Party at Humphries in Huntsville AL. Seeing all those who came to support was unbelievable! Singing my heart out under the stars and hearing my supporters cheer for me was unforgettable.
4. Do you believe music can change the world or is just something to listen to? How much can music influence current events?
Yes I believe music can change the world. Having the right lyrics can change a persons perception about any subject. Words affect a persons mood or idea. Its a fashion people will follow if its hot! But music can alter a persons mindset about whats wrong or right.
5. How has technology affected the music industry? How has technology affected your career as a musician?
Technology has made it easier for people to purchase music online and hack music online. It has its pros and cons of course. But it has made it very convenient for people to carry the music with them. It has only affected my music in a good way by making it more convenient to direct people to find my music and purchase it.
6. Now for my Barbara Walters question: If you were a pair of shoes what type of shoes would you be
I would be a pair of black swade, thigh high boots.

Lola, I love the question (and your answer) about music changing the world by influencing peoples' moods or by implanting ideas. I see music as a kind of social chiropractic that musicians practice. Cheers, Billy
