Question: Where are you from?  

Born and raised in Carson California.. West Coast baby…
 
     
 
 
 
Question:
How did you get started in music?

 I was in the middle school, board as hell one day so my friend and I wrote a rap. I took it home that night and rewrote it, the next day when I got back to school I started rapping it to my friend and a crowd surrounded me and vibed  with me and the adrenalin was something I can’t explain, since that day I’ve been an "Femcee"
 
 
 
 
 
 
Question: Right now your album "Chronicles of a Woman" is soon to be released, tell us about that.

Yes the CD officially drops on July 1, the record release party is on June 28 at The Copa Cabana in Long Beach, I’m so excited about the CD  it been a long time and coming. I have tried to secure a deal in the past to no avail, so I decided to executive produced the CD myself. I had all the say so with the tracks that were chosen for this project. Chronicles is like a catalog of my life, my music journey, my struggle to get to the top, it’s hard for females period so you could only imagine how hard it is to break through this male dominated industry. No matter who or what stands in my way im willing to knock it down to get to the top.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
Question:
Do you find it hard as a female to be taken seriously in a male dominated industry?

I defiantly find it hard to be taken seriously; I think that struggle comes across in my music. It’s not to serious but at the same time I let them know I mean business, I’m all about my business. Don’t get me wrong I’m not bashing men at all, I love my men however I’ve ran with the best of them so I’ve learned over the years how to hold my own.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
Question:
How would you describe your style?
 
I describe my style as situation reality, we all go through things, I was just blessed to be able to translate my feelings into hit records.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Question:
Who's featured on the album?
 
I have Eminem, and Xzibit just to name a few and production wise; I teamed up with some platinum producers. Rhythm D who produced Real Compton City G’s, Ecay Uno out of San Diego, Grammy nominated DJ Rectangle, and Ric Rude who produced Cater to you for Destiny Child. The CD is off the chain.   
 
 
 Question:
How did you link up with Eminem and Xzibit?

The colab was put together by the grammy nominated super producer DJ Rectangle.. He worked on past projects with both artists Eminem and Xzibit so when the opportunity came up to feature a female on songs I was the first pic. Seeing as though my work ethics are amazing plus I write my own lyrics and work quick in the studio he called me up... and the rest was history
 
 
Question: What is the first single?
 
 The first single is Switchen Lanes is the first single, Its about switchen lanes in my convertible on a sunny day in California.
 
 
 
 
 
Question: Who would you like to collaborate with in the future?  


I would love to team up with Dr. Dre, T-Pain, The Game, hell me and 50 would lay some heat.  I’m always down for a hot collaboration.   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Question: Who did you listen to growing up?
 
I listened to a lot of Dr. Dre, Salt and Pepper, Big Daddy Kayne. Every body really.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Question: What makes you different from other emcee's (male or female) out in this business?

My voice is distinctive, different than most and my delivery is in a class by itself. I write my own songs and   most importantly I’m a Business Woman, I don’t mind doing the leg work cause I know that’s what it take to be successful, I’m down to get out and put up my own posters, and pass out my own flyers if that’s what it takes. I am on my super grind right now.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
Question: Bombshell Muzic Group is your label, what would you describe as "Bombshell Muzic" material if someone wanted to get signed in the future

I am only looking for hungry artists that are willing to do what’s necessary to be successful. Talent plays a huge part but grind in important to me, they have to be willing to put in some sweat equity, and be able to take direction. “IF IT AIN’T ON BOMBSHELL IT WON’T BLOW UP” that is the word of the day.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Question: Now being that you are from Los Angeles, Spanish is a language= you need to know to get by, do you know any?
     
Cee sinorita. muey pokito espenol  
(-Si, Senorita- Muy Pocito Espanol- Translation: Yes Mam, I know a little Spanish)

But I do know that

Mucho travajo = Mucho dineros
(Mucho Trabajo =Mucho Dineros-Translation: Alot of work =  Alot of money)
