Los Angeles native, Mr. Thundder has been making music since he was just eight years old.  His passion to entertain grew with time and he developed a knack for production as well as a unique style and sound.  An urban, rock, and Hip-Hop infused mash-up with Gospel inspired lyrics makes for a very individualized experience with the young artist.  With his debut EP, the soon to be released With The Love on the horizon, we caught up with Mr. Thundder for a quick interview.  Get familiar.

Parlé:  Coming from a city as large as L.A., what are some obstacles you’ve faced so far early in your career?

Mr. Thundder:  The new project i’m working on is a an EP titled, With The Love. I picked that name because we are with Jesus’ unexplainable, awesome, sweet love. That’s what Jesus is all about, helping others and showing love.

Mr. Thundder:  Pure energy and uplifting.

Parlé:  You’re also a producer, how hard is it managing both sides of the music?
Mr. Thundder:  Whenever I work I have fun with it i’m always up to a challenge. When I produce I make sure every song that’s done the melodies sound natural and the beat, vocals make peace with each other.

Parlé:  Any final words you want to put out there?
Mr. Thundder:  Have hope in God and don’t give up!
