["So lets jump right into it. Your birth name is Ha'Keem Lee, but your stage name is Floral. Where did that name originate from?"]
__________________________
"It originated from the structure that i am. Each letter has its own individual meaning. And to even give more detail on it, you'll have to buy my album that's dropping in six weeks"

["ooooo, you guys heard it here first. He didn't exactly explain what it meant, but he sure does know how to market. You'll definitely have to tune in April 6, to get that extra personal tea"]

"Haha. That's the only way. But the wait has definitely given me the opportunity to grow as an artist and as an individual."

["I'm actually glad you touched on that. Growth. You've been the only one out of the many rising artist who hasn't been in the public eye. Are you always this private?"]

"That's the best way to be, stress free, drama free. I've been raised to mind mine and focus on what makes me better. In order for things to work in your favor you must be good to the universe."

["You're really amazing, and i now see why your breakout has been so successful. You have a degree in marketing, but you sing. That's not a combination you see a lot. Why music?"]

"Music is everyone's escape, from rock to R&B, hip-hop, pop, electronic, punk, reggae. Music is its own culture in one. It's a barrier breaker. Music makes living life easier"

["Seriously who prepped you for this interview. Wow, who's your PR. I'm only joking. You have a unique way of thinking, and that's what's going to take you to the top. Word just got in that you received another platinum plaque from your single 'Like this' which is a Mix between R&B and raggae."]

Slight laughter.
"I received it after my last-night performance. The label stopped by the last tour date and presented it to me. It's huge, it started off slow, but once the tour started and the fans got to see me and feel my energy that song took off"

My eyes turned towards my manager as he signaled for me to proceed.

"Ye-yeah. She's amazing."

I mumbled as the producers spoke to her through the ear piece.

She stopped the tape as my manager approached me.

"Rock nation just sent over the live footage of the remix. The audio version will be released tonight"

He spoke as she sat back down.

"Being afraid doesn't justify your truth, only you can do that, I took that saying from my mom and pushed forward with it. I'm just grateful men"
