I've quit drugs and drinking and been into healthy stuff like yoga.

I'm not sure what kept me from the mainstream. I thought it was because I was too hard to pin down genre-wise.

I want to inspire people to become their higher selves, their best selves.

Usually I will hear a sample, think of a theme and then it will take me a couple of days to write down some lyrics. Then I will decide that I hate those lyrics and rewrite. Then I will change all the music around. Then I will rewrite all the lyrics again. I am a bit of a perfectionist although you would never know it because all my songs are like chopped up and @#$%& up, but you see that's on purpose.

I try to stay far away from all of them. I was tempted to go to my snotty high school reunion, but luckily I resisted the urge--when I received the hand-out that described what everyone is doing now, I fell asleep reading it. Boring!

I wanted to make some music with deeper meaning mixed with the fun and cool stuff I've been doing for so long.

I love New York so much; I could never live anywhere else, and ESPECIALLY not in my hometown.
