The story that I wanna tell is pretty much about the way I grew up. Being bi-racial, growing up in a big city and being an artist.

I didn't really listen to rock 'n' roll until I moved to LA. We would ditch school, go get high, put on Zeppelin IV and just bug out.

Eventually you're going to have a digital transfer anyway when you make a CD, so it doesn't matter as long as what you're hitting first is what you want it to be.

People see my photos and think I labor over my image and I'm this cool, brooding artist. But I'm just having fun with it.

I've had to work very hard, and I don't really have a category or fit into any niche, so each time I come out with a new record, it's like, I'm a new guy.

One musician listens to another musician, and you get inspired and then you do your thing, but it's yours.

I wouldn't play together with someone who likes to control everything like me.
