His demeanor is best described as that of a chess player contemplating his next three moves. Serious, strategic, and tactical. Toolez is a driven perfectionist that understands perfection is unobtainable; yet he still purses it in every verse, every song, every album and every flow. His determination, dedication, and focus are second to none. While playing basketball for the Uconn Huskies, Toolez would often drive to Providence Rhode Island to pick up tracks then turn right around and head back to campus. Chicago Bulls star Ben Gordon was quoted saying “When I was in the gym working on my game, Toolez was in the room making classics...The best is yet to come.

He interviewed on New York’s XFM radio with DJ Chuck Chillout on 66 RAW and Hartford’s top urban radio station, Hot 93.7 with K Dub and DJ Bigg Mann. As his popularity grew from street corner freestyler to 2004 NCAA National Champion, to lyrical phenomenon, the Toolez brand has become more profitable landing him spots in The Daily Campus, Slam Magazine, Music Choice, The New York Post, The Daily Local, and Dimepiece Magazines national launch issue.

Toolez has the advantage of appealing to wide audience without difficulty. He has had the unique opportunity of living in diverse cultural and economic environments. Armed with the experiences and knowledge learned from exposures ranging from the African American based hoods of Pennsylvania to the Caucasian filled campuses of a major University, Toolez understands every aspect of the new generation which is evident in his music. He utilizes different images that make him appealing to each segment of the Hip-Hop and Rap market without losing validity or credibility. Ultimately, Toolez is a product that satisfies the tastes and preferences of customers in every applicable competing lane of the music industry.

Entertainment rap artist Mystik started production on her debut album with critically acclaimed producer Dame Grease, increasing the labels credibility of delivering promising artist.

Toolez often refers to himself as The Crown Holder but talks about why that doesn’t mean he’s “the king”. “First of all, the majority of the clothes I wear are sponsored by Crown Holder. More importantly, kings are born into royalty and I’m a have-not. When I say I’m the crown holder, I’m saying that I took the kings crown and I refuse to give it back. By no means am I the heir to the thrown. Everything I’ve earned I took. Why stop with the crown?”
