Normally I wouldn't spoil anything because I love surprises - I don't even shake my presents at Christmas.

I've seen a lot in my life. My dad was pretty gnarly but I loved him and I wouldn't change it for the world. My mom's a survivor.

My whole thing is I like to hang around winners, I like winning spirits, I have zero tolerance for jealousy.

Every time I'm not on a project, I'm writing or in the studio or doing gigs DJing.

I've made money doing things I love. DJing was a hobby. When I bought my turntables my mom said, "Oh what now, Taryn?" But it became pretty fruitful right away. I come from a very music-oriented family.

It's just different in the music world. You come more with an entourage

Everyone thinks I'm some big drug addict and loser because of the parts I play - quite the opposite. I decided to be a winner.
