Created by a confirmed sockpuppet under B-Goss (musical artist) presumably to avoid detection following previous deletion under this name. None of the sources demonstrate WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO and nothing better found in searches under his stage name or his actual name. Spiderone ^{(Talk to Spider)} 22:48, 27 September 2021 (UTC) reply

• Delete: fails WP:GNG and WP:NMUSICIAN. This looks like shameless self-promotion, and none of the sources appear to be very good ones. His role on Top DJ appears to have been a 30-second interview on one episode, giving his opinion about the contestants – he certainly was not one of the presenters or main judges, so his role on the show appears to be exaggerated. For anyone thinking, "wow, he's worked with some big names in Flo Rida and T-Pain"... he hasn't. He's simply remixed an existing track, "Ride" by J Rand featuring Flo Rida and T-Pain, and placed his name at the top of the credits, and the video for "his" new song intercuts scenes from the original J Rand video into some terrible acting from him and his celebrity friends. One of those friends is a football player from the top Italian football league, which is probably the major reason the video was played on MTV, rather than the song – the claim of being played on MTV claim may be true, but the one working citation just shows the lyrics of the track posted on the MTV website, which anyone can do, and the other citation is the personal website of an Italian TV football pundit, so probably not the best authority on MTV screenings.

I agree that the claims to notability are heavily exaggerated upon closer inspection and that the celebrity name dropping borders on WP:NOTINHERITED. Spiderone ^{(Talk to Spider)} 08:21, 28 September 2021 (UTC) reply
