The album borrows influences from ol' school hip-hop, dub, dance-hall, new wave, glam rock, and electronica to name a few. A genres mash-up may make it difficult to classify but with it's appealing edge listeners will spot the influences and dance anyway. "The cool thing is that I found it easy to write these songs. The patterns are a little off but so am I."
Songs from Celebrity have found there way into a few independent films. The lead single, "Feel Like Fashion" is a crowd favorite and has garnered much air and club play. For a poet turned pop star, 'Celebrity' may be the breakthrough needed to give this artist the light he needs.
