This senior Government concentrator from the student band Justice League is all over the place artistically, adding his own flavor to Cambridge in both song and in prose. He’s known for his lyrical sophistication and (Holyoke)-street smarts.

Describe your current project:

Believe it or not, I’m working on a novel right now. I’m writing in Jamaica Kincaid’s class. And I’m also working on my own album. For about two years now, I’ve been building up material for the album. I’m also producing a couple of tracks for another student. And of course, working on some new stuff for Justice League, some new beats and hooks.

How is Harvard as a community for musicians?

It’s hard. I really can’t think of many places that would be more conducive and at the same time more hostile to musicians. Harvard doesn’t give you much time for anything else. But that stress and pervasion in your life forces you to be creative and come out with really profound stuff. I don’t think it would be the same without that impetus.

If you weren’t at Harvard, where would you be?

Hopefully making music somewhere in the studio or writing something.

How would you describe yourself in three words?

Energetic, innovative and shy

Where do you imagine yourself in ten years?

In ten years I know I’ll be doing something creative whether it’s writing or making music for mass consumption.

Where is Justice League in the next ten years?

The rest of Justice League I see as being very successful in whatever they do. I don’t know whether they want to go down the same road I want to go down. But they all have a lot of heart and intelligence, so I see them as being successful.

What moment would you like to relive from the past year?

The Fabolous concert—I would do that over, and sleep the night before. I feel like when you’re performing, you have a duty to give people 110%. I would’ve liked to have the opportunity to be fresh. And then I performed with Cody Chesnutt when House of Blues was still open. I did like two verses and I was hearing the words come out of my mouth, but it was like I wasn’t even saying them.
