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'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 think it's important to say something. If you're making music it's kinda' like, oh, cool, so is everyone else.

Whenever I perform I try to connect with the crowd and give off energy so when they walk away from the show its remarkable and its something they talk about it, like 'damn I cant wait to come back to my show.'

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 suppose sometimes the lack of privacy can be a little hard to deal with at times.

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.
