Whether it's just the career path of doing independent music, being an artist, however you want to pigeon-hole it, it creates a certain type of character.

Recording is a lengthy process, but onstage it's completely different; tape is not running - life is running, and cannot be rewound.

You can always find the sample that covers what you're hearing, but barely...it allows me to really concentrate on words.

I've always been aggressive and an underdog, and my dad was worried that I would always be that: constantly seeking inspiration from negativity.
