Its important to follow your dreams whatever that may be.

Money isnt what drives me, getting fans who truly understand what I'm about and want to see me live is where my head is at.

The blogosphere gives me my life, I am fortunate to have developed relationships with great websites who allow me to reach a whole ton of new people everyday.

Hoodie was just a nickname I had growing up and I just wanted to have a name that would stick in peoples' minds and be a little bit funny and representative of who I am.

I've kind of shut myself off to a lot of new music because I don't want to be influenced by it.

I'm only concerned with making music that I love and that my fans will respond to. I am happy to see other really good young artists able to flourish and pursue their careers.

I try not to listen to a lot of music when I'm starting the recording process, because it can be so subtly influential.
