Thank you, Billboard, for the feature on this year’s R&B/Hip-Hop Power Players list. All I wanted to do was be a part of the genres that shaped my life as a kid. To be able to work with legends & build the next generation of artists will forever be a blessing.

Congrats to Bu, Wilt Walace, Victoria White-Mason, Chika Ifediora, and Lisa Wiggins keep inspiring us all. Special thanks to Ron Perry, Jen Mallory, Manos Xanthogeorgis, John Vincent, and the Columbia Records team for believing in the dream.
