Thirty-three-years-old, still creating art. It's rage, it's creativity, it's pain, it's hurt, but it's the opportunity to still have my voice get out there through music.

Creative output, you know, is just pain. I'm going to be cliche for a minute and say that great art comes from pain.

The concept of commercialism in the fashion and art world is looked down upon. You know, just to think, 'What amount of creativity does it take to make something that masses of people like?' And, 'How does creativity apply across the board?'

I look at voices as instruments. I wasn?t going after the person or the name. I wanted their voice.

My greatest pain in life is that I will never be able to see myself perform live.

During my high school years, it's the music that I really felt saved me. It kept me out of the streets, it kept me from getting into trouble, it gave me something to do when I got kicked off the basketball team. You just get lost in the music. That's what I did.
