5. What is the main reason you create music?  to keep them out of my head,through my ears, and back into my head. i dont see my style as a new style, a medicore, or too amature style just My style that i like. heavy bass and melodic synths but im no wolfgang gartner i just try to fit in the group of "edm musicians" but in reality i just wanna make a tune i can dance to all the time everytime its played.

6. How has being a producer changed your life?  oh where do i start. i just came back from ny and ,nj and traveled half the east coast because people love the tracks. ive raced cars, been in mansions, kicked garbarge in times square, got kicked out of a bar inn philly, caught a nasty tan in florida,meet people, gained a name and a status for myself. ever since i hit 8 i wanted to be like the guys on the album cover in a store and be known for something so when i die i  atleast be remember for something. if it wasnt for music i would be absolutly nobody.
