In the past, hearing music had more value.

My start came with experimental musicians and live bands. I never played with DJ's because it wasn't really the correct fit. It fit in more with someone using a laptop to create their own electronic music. When you're doing music like that, it's hard to get more than 20 people to come to your show.

You can write very obtuse and abstract lyrics, and if they want to, people are going to find something amazing that you're saying.

Something that distinguishes my solo work from normal rap production is that it has a lot of melody - it's not just cutting up a song and having someone rap over it.

I make a living off of playing shows; the albums only make me a fraction of what I make off of shows, especially since I'm doing around 100 shows a year.

I like to use recognizable songs, but other than that, this song would be perfect.

I can't wait to wake up in the morning and listen to music in order to try to find something to work with.
