I love bass music; dubstep, drum and bass, trap. I also love hip hop; 9th wonder, Pete Rock, Nicolay. I also get into just random music; old Kings of Leon, Animals as Leaders, Periphery, The Doobie Brothers. I like a lot of stuff...

What inspires you to make music?

Great music typically. You hear something awesome and it makes you feel some type of way and you want to go make something that makes other people feel similarly.

What is the message you want to send with your music?

Have fun, mix it up, don't just do one thing or get stuck on what's popular, but explore and be influenced and change your music that's perfectly fine. Because as you evolve and change as a person so should your music.

How do you feel when you perform in front of an audience?

I get excited even just practicing because I know that someone would appreciate what I'm doing, so when i get in front of an audience and see them vibing with things that I'm vibing on and were all on this big ole bass music freight train together headed to crazytown, it makes me smile.

How do you see the musicians’ reality nowadays? What could be improved?

There are two industries now, mainstream and independent. For musician's to have better lives and better paying gigs, etc. there needs to be a national awakening to this concept and people need to support their communities and the artists in those communities. Regardless if they're the musician, the sound guy, the live artist, the visual artist, the dancers, the promoters, the club owners, etc. Because we all need each other to survive and grow.
