The Champagne Champion himself has spent 2016 soaking up the California sun and flooding his veins with music in order to help him create his latest album "Late Bloomer;" and he's talking to me all about it. All while we wait for a couple $20 sacks.

In 2015 I met Wes, shortly there after he offered to hold my hair back while I fake puked my guts out for his "Champagne Champion" video (click here to watch it), and ever since we have been working together on visuals. I knew his album was dropping soon and knew I needed to interview him about his latest musical masterpiece. With some songs sounding very reminiscent of Twenty88, like the tracks featuring Marti & Kayla, he brings a very sensual and soft side out of himself for this album and I can say he does it very well. Aside from some female counterparts on this release, he also features other great musicians to help sell his soul to you- we speak about how he picks the people he works with, how he found his current team #SQUADTHIQ, and how making genuine connections with the people you work with truly affects the quality of the content you put out.

Along with talking about "Late Bloomer" we also took a few minutes to talk about the current state of the nation and our upcoming POTUS; he shares his positive and realistic views of our future and gives us all a little reminder to stop talking and start doing! He bid farewell to Barack and offered advice for the rest of us, #bubbleupandhunkerdown!

As always, it was a pleasure getting to sit and speak with Wes, and really dig deep to see what being a "Late Bloomer" really means. Enjoy!
