Comment: You only have two sources; one of which is YouTube, a unreliable source. Please add more sources. CF-501 Falcon (talk · contribs) 01:08, 13 May 2025 (UTC)- Comment: Fails WP:MUSICBIO / WP:NCREATIVE. The Berklee College of Music website is a primary source and therefore not independent. The RIAA website doesn't mention or acknowledge him (noting the song was certified platinum not his sound engineering work). Jaxsta is not an acceptable or reliable source.
