When an opportunity presented itself for him to do a song with Worcester’s own rapper, Joyner Lucas, Villot quickly decided to do so. There became a problem when Villot had to choose between studio and music video time or school. He had to decide which was more important school or his dreams.
Villot said, “It was an opportunity you don’t pass up. I had saw that he (Joyner) had millions of views on his video on Facebook and decided it was the right decision.”
That decision turned out to be the right one for him. Nano’s song with Joyner Lucas now has over 500,000 plays on Facebook, 100,000 views on WorldStarHipHop and, over 200,000 views on YouTube. Since then, Villot has worked with various artist and has made his own lane in the Latin music world.
