Q: What is your inspiration?
A: “I think inspiration is something that you tap into. [A person] can inspire you, but you have to look to yourself to find creativity. I try and stay creative; I’m experimental and always changing. I don’t think I’ve hit my peak yet.”
Q: What are your goals after the music industry?
A: “I think I’ll always be doing something in the music industry. Whether it’s rapping or producing music. [It] is something I want to be around.”
Q: What about acting? Are you taking any steps toward that?
A: “Well I’ve taken a few acting classes. I wouldn’t mind starring in a movie in a comedy role. Doing comedy on screen is hard though. You could be a really funny guy in real life and then it doesn’t work on screen. It’s a lot of work.”
