Ladies Love Cool Breeze lol. Via The Segment.

What’s your ethnicity?
My mother is from north Preston, Nova Scotia and father is Jamaican.

What makes you more than just a pretty face?
Umm I would say my personality is also something females tend to like about me..I’m a funny dude once you get to know me..but I can be an asshole when it’s deserved.

Single or taken?
I’m married to music and money as cliche as that sounds lol

What’s the secret to satisfying you in the bedroom?
The secret to satisfying me is to be comfortable and feel beautiful. Be willing to let your inner freak out..Ill take care of the rest..(That sounded like something an r&b singer would’ve said lool)

When you look at a woman, what is the first thing you notice?
Well like most men ..I notice her beauty whatever beautiful is to you..That’s what I notice first and then everything else after.
