In an attempt to make people aware of the fact that Freestyle isn’t just a music, but rather a culture, La’ began writing books, in hopes of reaching fans through a medium they would never expect, and in 2011, his debut novel, FREESTYLE FOR LIFE, did just th

I Love Writing

I would definitely consider myself a workaholic. To be at my desk by 6:00am and work until well after midnight, isn't unusual. Though I am proud of my work ethic, I do understand the importance of balance, so working those kinds of hours isn't something I would recommend.
I am however happy to have discovered writing, because now I can work until my last breath. I love writing!!!
