Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

A: I love a lot of different things, right now I'm into sisters of mercy (because of a client), but I listen to Tinarawen and Bombino. All that aside from the usual dub and house. Ask me again in a while.

A: I mostly edit and mix, but I'm well known for my vocal abilities as a dub MC.
