HipHopLead- In your teen years you bounced back and forth from Florida to Cali. Which state do you hold dear to your heart?
I would say I always held California close to my heart and it always felt like home. Even when I’m away from Cali for a couple months I get “home” sick. I just love the beaches and the energy man. It’s a melting pot of different cultures and nationalities. I’m all about Unity with Diversity and Cali has that.
HipHopLead- Which area would you say reflects the sound of your production the most?
Honestly that’s hard to say. I would say a little bit of everywhere that I lived. I just make the music however I’m feeling that day and that’s how it comes out. Some days it sounds West coast, the next day European. Then I might get into my Middle-Eastern sounds and my Latin influence. Tomorrow might be a Dirty South day. I just have fun with it.
HipHopLead- It’s not often we hear about a DJ who can mix and record music and produce as well (laughs). With so many talents under your belt which is your main passion?
I never was the DJ to go out and play parties and clubs. I did mainly just scratching and mixing instrumentals for my friends to rhyme over. I always knew I wanted to Produce beats since High-School but I didn’t really have the time and access to the equipment. I messed around with computer programs and Fruity Loops in High school but didn’t really like it. It wasn’t until I got an MPC at 19 when I started making real beats I liked. Then I started taking Piano lessons and I really got into it. My main passion is definitely Piano composition and Producing.
