“I’m not going to stop performing or being an artist. I do enjoy singing and all of that, but it takes away from being creative. At least with being a writer-producer you can constantly create and make music and things like that.“

The 34 year old Soul Star singer is already writing / producing for artists including Chrisette Michelle and YMCMB artist Bow Wow. As well as songwriting, Musiq is also working on his first book which is to be focused on love, relatonships and music. According to publishers DIP, the book should be released this summer.
