I never want a fan to come and hear what they hear on their iPod, its about creating a unqiue and awesome experience.

I've basically been able to do everything, I basically run my own career and the decisions I make - whether it's how I'm gonna roll out music, how I'm gonna play on tours, different strategies for releasing and marketing things - and that comes from being college educated and someone who's interested in that side of the business rather than only the music. If anything I think that's where the biggest direct influence comes from.

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.

I'm a Jewish kid who grew up loving hip hop in NY.

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

Its important to follow your dreams whatever that may be.

It's unfair of me to tell anyone what to think. I make myself for myself to get out my own desire to create and make sense of things in life. Hopefully, it does the same for others.
