I've been writing songs and making music since I was probably ten years old...so my inspirations back then, I don't know - I guess it was something that was innate. I was really shaped to make hip-hop music and love hip hop.

There're always some notorious people in the crew who are doing crazy things, but I try to keep it a little more low-key. My crazy thing is always just the show and putting all my energy into it.

I've been writing songs since I was 10 years old and always had a penchant for rhyming. I started listening to hip hop through my friends and fell in love with it.

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.

It's easy to choose doing what you love when there are people out there supporting you.

I guess this is cliche, but I'd love to work with Kanye West, Mark Ronson, Diplo.

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