I thought about New York but in New York the studio would get crowded with a lot of people. In LA, you look outside its like palm trees, sunshine and you know a totally different feel working.

I still got the crib and then actually all my equipment is out there. Im looking for a crib now so I can ship my equipment out here.

I started with the SP-12 then moved to the SP-1200 and then shortly after that the MPC-60, then the MPC-62, then the MPC3000 and Ive been on the MPC 3000 ever since then. Ive tried other samplers but the 3000 is best for me for what I like to do.

Its just easier for me to program and I like the node offs and mono pads. I can just do more with it. I guess cause I know it better.

Im a record shopping fanatic. I already got a nice stash here and I got a warehouse full of records in Detroit, its ridiculous. I lost a lot of records too. Having them in that storage paper, records was getting damp and to go back periodically and check on them is kind of hard.

I started making beats when Big Mouth came out, whatever year that was.

I been buying a lot of 45s. Try to get a groove off of 45s cause its like they only press singles. Trying to get a break off that you gotta really be hunting for that sh… What Ill do is Ill look for a groove or something to start if off with but then I try to build around it. Try to make something out of it.

When I make my music, I want people to feel what I feel, I want them to feel that energy. That’s all it is, because I make it straight from the heart. To be taken for anything else is crazy to me.

Music is my therapy, it’s how I express myself.

The best music comes from the heart, not from trying to please others.

Music is a conversation between the artist and the listener. Don’t limit yourself to one genre, explore different styles and techniques.

I’m not interested in making music that fits into a mold. I want to create something unique.

The essence of music is to express yourself freely.

Just keep going, keep creating, no matter what.

I don’t make beats, I create music.

Every record is an opportunity to learn something new.

I just want to make music that moves people.

I’m just a humble musician trying to make the best music I can.

To me, music is art and science. It’s like a combination of people and machines.

You don’t pay attention man/that’s why your money is the size of your attention span.

Don’t sell yourself to fall in love, With those things you do.
