I love working with talented artists and help them develop their vocal skills in the studio as a vocal coach.
I have a forward-thinking perspective and love the different. If you're looking for someone overly creative, I'm afraid that's me. In my view there are four female great Singer Songwriter's that can write at my level, on a five point star I'm the fifth point of that star.
My songs cover a wide spectrum of diverse universal and commercial themes. I can be witty, I can empower, I can be extremely sensual and I can be clever. Tom Stewart is an audio engineer with a dependable attitude and a musical mind. My specialties are: catchy melodies, authentic lyrics and recording studio quality vocals.

This is the second engineer that I could say, knows what he is doing. God willing I will be sending him more records to mix and master for future projects. His mixes are beautiful and flawless. Now, I'm 27 and learning how to balance both at the same time.
I just didn't want to be that guy. I wanted to keep elevating it. I really was stuck. Me and Southside call it "the recipe": You hop in front of the computer and you got these sounds that you go to every time.
You get some keys, bass, or a lead, and make a melody. You add drums, and it's the same recipe — it just sounds different because of the melody. I just got tired.
I just felt like my fucking brain — my whole life — was on loop. I remember how prevalent your sample pack was for every up-and-coming producer at that time. There's a sound kit for any producer. They sample these guys' drums and get out on the internet and it's a pack of thirty or forty of The Neptunes' snares and kicks. My generation took those and mixed-and-matched them up.
I would take the D-Block drum kit and snare and mix it with a Shawty Redd bass or an old Quincy Jones hothead loop.
At first, there was no official Lex Luger drum kit that I put out — people just chopped my sounds up, or sounds that I already took from someone else. It's a good feeling and it's a bad feeling. Let's say I used the Drumma Boy Kit. That shit changed my life, bro. It made me put food on the table for my family. So if I'm doing that for a certain kid, that's fucking great.
Last year, you were supposed to do a beat battle with Southside but it never came about. What happened? I'm going to keep it one thousand. I was going through this dark phase, just drinking and doing drugs. Emotions were everywhere. Having a fucking phone and social media is not the best thing with drugs and emotions and drinking. I would vent online late at night, fucked up — just voicing my opinion on that forum.
Folks got wind of that. Southside's a real one so he hit me up. We both agreed to do a beat battle. That's what I wanted to do.
I wanted to have a battle with him, Mike Will, Metro, and whoever else is popping. Me and Southside had made our own Instagram videos. Like I got a hundred bands and put it up. Both of us had did that. That video, it kind of, like, soured — it went the wrong way. As brothers, me and Southside — there's shit in between but I would never speak on that, bro. That's just brother shit. It was, but that's because I'm not in Atlanta. It would've been different back then.
He would've just pulled up at my house. That's just how we came up in our houses, how both of our parents raised us. We just got a certain understanding, all of us. It wasn't that easy. It became "I'll fly out there, I'll do this, I'll do that.
People were asking me about it. It's different when everybody can see you, like all eyes on me. What am I gonna do? Both of us were dealing with that pressure behind closed doors. I didn't know how to handle it.
Like I said, I was going through a dark time between drugs and drinking and a certain addiction also, so I wasn't thinking straight. I was saying a lot of fucked-up shit and it went a long way. So it was a humbling experience, you dig? We haven't spoke but I posted a picture, he put a comment to show love, so that's where it's at right now. It's positivity. We moving in the right direction. In terms of dealing with addiction, are you on the other side of that now?
How did you get through that? Yeah, bro, I really was on that shit. Like Xans — five, six a day. I was coming to the engineer's studio just fucking wasted. Ecstasy, mollies, whatever — I was on that shit. It got to a point where my body couldn't handle it, and then I still didn't give a fuck. I still was there mentally. Then it got to a point where I couldn't take it, physically and mentally. I blacked out one time — I don't even remember the exact moment or time, but I woke up and I was in a hospital.
And, not like a regular hospital — not like a psych ward, but, just like when you're kinda outta here. When you lose it, bro. You're staying for a week or two, or however long your crazy ass needs. The drugs took a hold of me, bro, mentally. I thought motherfuckers were trying to kill me. I was paranoid like shit. So I sat in there for a week and had to completely sober up — get a grasp on life and understand what's going on.
I got outta there, hooked up, and now I'm back on track, man. That's what it took for me really to quit. Been sober about a year, dude. I got out of there, and don't get me wrong, I hopped back on the shit, but not like that. It wasn't recreational. That shit was a ritual — I would wake up and pour up, take some Xans, and I would go in, and that was it every day.
I didn't sleep for like three, four days. I would close my eyes and still be awake. It was a real tough time. It had my mom crying and shit, bro. It really That was fuckin' She had to come in that hospital. We got visits like twice a week, so she would come in there, man, and It was really deep.
You know what's real, though? They evaluate you in there, so once I was done and getting discharged, the doctor was like, "The first day when you came in here, you just kept sitting down. That's how I knew I had got looped out, ya dig? I was doing that every single day, so that's all my brain knew. How do you even begin to go back to sitting in front of the computer and making a beat after that? I would come back in there and cook up like, "Man, I can't. This shit don't sound right" — or I just wouldn't say shit, but I knew it wasn't sounding right.
It was like jogging. I broke my ankle recently and now I'm good, but I had to do ABC exercises, walk on it, and take a rest. I didn't suck, it was just that my mind wouldn't go and look for those sounds like it would have, so I had to train it and find inspiration again. My girls are seven and eight, and I got two sons that's three months and a year.
My girls love music. Shit comes on the radio, They love Cardi B. They love Nicki. They don't really know the difference right now, but they figure it out sometimes. They understand what I do. They see the plaques and shit, but they don't hear it, so I'm not really cool like that to them.
That's my inspiration, and seeing these young cats out here do it too. The way they cook up and the ambition they have, they're so fuckin' hungry. They just wanna get it, bro, and they got these new ways of seeing shit that I can't understand sometimes. I feel like I'm getting old, but I chill around them and try to understand that wave. Tay Keith, I like him too. The shit he did on Drake's album — just the bass line and the drums, that shit is so dope to me. Metro is always the shit, bro.
That's the young homie. He's always lit. I like what Mike Will is doing. DJ Mustard, too. Building those artists, branding them, making them household names, changing music — I like that shit, on some Dr.
