What was the motivation behind your mixtape Chapter 1: I Do This Too?
The inspiration is being able to say things that I felt like I couldn’t say or express through comedy. So far, the results have been awesome.
What advice would you give to aspiring actors?
I would say take acting classes. People want to see how much buzz you have on your own before they’re willing to really do business with you. Study the art form because it is a craft.
What upcoming projects are you currently working on?
I’m currently working on Half Baked 2 [and] Chapter 1: I Do This Too is now available on all streaming platforms. I’ve already recorded Chapter 2, which will be coming out later this year. I’m performing in Las Vegas in April and even more tour dates are coming soon.
