It's important to push yourself to get better at your craft - whatever that is. It's important to grow and evolve with each project.

I think the special stuff [music] still finds a way to be heard, as long as you pair it with a good release strategy.

When you're choosing the track list and the sequencing, it's important to make sure that there's some strong concepts on there and that it matters and it says something... that it sticks with people.

I don't come to Toronto often, so when I'm there it's always special and rare which I think makes it very exciting for my fans.

I'm a Gemini, so there's two people in me. Straight up. There's the nerd who is totally zoned out in the studio, EQ-ing this kick drum, raising this snare one decibel, or swapping this high hat out for another. Then there's the other side who's a performer. I have to go out on stage and be electric, a fire cracker, just run around the stage and give a show.

I had a job since I was old enough to work - since I was, like, 14.

Nothing tops making a living off your passion.
