The audience loves it when you pay attention to details.

I've been DJing mostly, and most DJs end up producing. That's just me.

It's weird because my parents don't really understand my business. I get fan mail all day long, but if a piece happens to get to their house, they're like, 'Oh, my God, you've got a fan! You have to write them back. You have to do it!
