What does it mean to you?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One day I realized I was painting pictures with my music similar to Pablo Picasso so I came up with Patient Picasso.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>2) How would you best describe your music to fans?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I will have to say my music is real West Coast laid back and I filled\u00a0 with good energy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>3) You have opened up for so many big artists including Cardi B, Lil Pump and Lil Baby. Do you have a favorite show experience that stood out to you the most and why?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I love all the events I did each one is special to me and in its own way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>4) You&#8217;re both an artist and producer.
