If the chemistry between me and the artist is good, then that's half the battle.
The goal is to make something that sounds new and different.
I was a snot-nosed teenage skater at one point, who listened to only punk records and hung around people that had that idea of what is okay to do and what isn't okay to do.
I have a hard time repeating myself.
I like to find an artist who inspires me and get into their world and challenge them.
It was very punk rock for me to take a stab at working with Justin Bieber. I don't know how people portray that, or 'Climax,' for that matter. But for me, it was the most adventurous thing I could have done at that exact moment.
