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.

It's a really good time for California right now in music.

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.

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.

In my dorm room, I was a hermit making music, I've always had a sense of urgency that I don't have forever to make this happen.

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

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.
