Brae was kind enough to answer my cheesy questions. Let's get to know him just a little bit better!
1. When did you first start singing (or playing your instrument)?
In 1st grade was when I first started singing, been doing it since 6 years of age. I'm 23 now.
2. What was the first song you recall singing (or playing)?
I remember singing all of The Jackson 5 hits as well as some Stevie Wonder, I really started off with the Motown Sound
3. Who are your musical inspirations?
My musical inspirations would be Michael Jackson, Kanye West, Usher, John Legend, Musiq Soulchild, Marvin Gaye, D'angelo, Jasmine Sullivan, & Lauryn Hill.
4. What genre of music do you listen to today?
I listen to all music at some point in the week. Most days I'm bumping neosoul, Motown, or hip hop!
5. What embarrassing songs might I find on your MP3 player?
Thong Song by Sisqo & Cha Cha by D.R.A.M
6. Where would you most like to perform?
I'd love to perform on ANY stage anywhere along side of Jasmine Sullivan or D'angelo. I wouldn't mind the stage, but the BET Awards or ESPY's would work for me. I'm a big sports advocate/fan.
7. If you weren't a musician, what would you be doing?
I'd probably be playing football, basketball, a music teacher, or a zoologist. Who knows!
8. What instruments do you play?
I don't play any instruments, I can help create music though. I have a great ear, I know it wouldn't be hard for me to learn one, I'm just not interested. I'd rather listen to the producers who love what they do in astonishment. I know my calling, I love to sing!
9. If you could dabble in another genre of music, what would it be?
I'd probably tap into Hip Hop, I actually write some great lyrics. Maybe I should ghostwrite for Drake.
10. What other talents do you have?
Leadership, Writing, & I'm super athletic.
11. What is your favorite song to belt out at the bar/in the car/for karaoke?
Right now, it'd be Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk
12. If you could sing a duet with any musician, living or dead, who would it be?
It's a close race between Michael Jackson and Marvin Gaye. Mike edge him by just a smidgen.
13. What is the hardest thing about being in the music business?
The hardest thing for me is promoting, I feel like Little Rock, Arkansas just isn't a good place for a soul singer. Our music market is pretty bad, the lack of support is at an all time high.
14. What has been the best advice you have ever been given?
The best advice I've ever been given is to keep God 1st. God is good, God opens doors for me that I could never open alone. If I never achieve my music dreams I know that I'm grateful for everything I've been through. Stay positive, and be yourself no matter what
