The only artists I manage are the ones that have been here since the doors opened. They understand my hectic schedule, and try to work around it. It’s almost like they inspire me to work. They jump in my Kik or DM like “Boss man, I gotta idea,” or “I wanna run this past you.” Usually, I’m like “Yea lets do that, and then we gonna add this to it, and BAM! Just like that! Hot sh*t, then there are those rare times when I’m like “Un uh, try that sh*t again.” I have a good niche for hotness.

There will be more touring, bigger opportunities as far as on screen things, and who knows what else my artist will encourage me to cook up. Amor Records has made a name for itself. One hundred years from now, when my great great great grands are running the legacy I leave behind for them, they will speak about me, or the label, and somebody’s great granny gon' be like “damn Quez was fine,” or “Them was some of the best concerts to come through IMVU.”
