At what age did you become musically influenced? Or do you feel music has always been a part of you?
At the age of 2 I was being told I was going to be a star. It’s always been a part of me.
How was life growing up with your father, Troop Legend, Steve Russell Harts?
It was pretty cool; I didn't really know who Troop was. I knew they were a group however it was normal because that’s what my father did [as a profession]. I knew I had special treatment in the ghetto because of who my daddy was. All of the kids, parents, school teachers… I was in the ghetto and my father was a celebrity.
How is your relationship with your father today?
It’s cool, it’s really cool. Now it’s more of a business relationship. It’s amazing. There are certain things i would never know or understand if I didn't have a father. There a certain things I am going thru I wouldn't know how to get thru it if I didn't have a father.
When did you first decide you wanted to get into the music industry?
When I came home from my first year of college and saw my sister had a
Lady Gaga plaque and that really changed my idea of what I want to do. Like she’s doing music, she’s accomplishing things in the business, and I want to too. She started taking me to sessions and I was naturally good at writing songs.
Who are a few of your favorite artists that inspire you?
I am thankful for my exposure. That’s the one great thing of having a dad in the business, my exposure to music is crazy. I know songs that people of my generation don’t. I have a
Rolodex so I can always can refer to
If I were to look through your music library, what embarrassing songs would I find?
There’s a song called, “Smell Your Dick” by Risque
What genre of music do you most hate to listen to? WHY?
I would say metal because it doesn't make me feel good. I do like rock and roll and alternative rock but metal!? Shit but I am going to get a huge leather jacket with a studded heart on it. I only like the fashion?
Do you write for other people and if so who?
Yes, I have written songs for
Tyrese, my writing team has written for
Trey Songz. I recently wrote a
Christmas song for Troop. I’ve written millions of songs that don't have a home yet.
Should we be expecting an album from you soon? If so, what is the title going to be?
Not an album, expect a composition from Stevie Harts called the Appetizer.
