I had the opportunity to pick people who I wanted to mentor me. I picked someone in radio, someone in the labels and an artist - people who till this day I have stayed in touch with and helped tremendously on my musical journey. PAF taught me a lot about the industry and how important it is to make and KEEP good relationships.
