I'm Really Thankful To Have My Own Record Label. I've Always Looked Up To People Like Madonna When She Launched Maverick Records. Even Jay Z And Sean "puffy" Combs, Who's A Mentor And Also Gave Me A Shot When I Was An Independent Artist In Atlanta. He Came To My Show, And He Said, "i Just Want People To Know About You."
