There's a crazy energy in Toronto. I think some of that may be from being a border from where I'm from and being so close.

I think, back in the day, when I was first starting to make music, all I wanted to do was to get a record deal.

Music meant more to me than a social life and just hangin out. haha just being tired of repacking my suit case every couple of days, and anytime i wanted to cop some new clothes i would have to throw away something I had to make room in the suitcase.

Less is more. Simplicity is awesome. That's all you need in life. Its just my personal philosophy.

I've put myself in this position where I haven't set myself up with a Plan B. I don't have a safety net; it's all in.

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.

Thing is, I wasn't in the library, didn't study too much, didn't get the best grades, but honestly, I didn't party a lot either. I stayed in a lot.
