Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: The biggest misconception is that I am a one-trick pony. Most folx in my genre don't get me, or what I do, and barely know what I'm capable of. They just go on looks and my dancey material, and dismiss my stuff as hip-hop because it's not what they do.

A: I worked on a song for sync with a client here and I was proud of how good it ended up sounding. I was really impressed with how it all came together.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?
