What inspires the music you create? 

The pain and struggle and all my stories that come with it.  Love and love lost.  Sometimes it’s just a dope concept that comes to mind. 

What is your creative process like? 

When I first started out I had more of a process.  I had to have things in a certain way or feel a certain emotion.  Now I just need a spare moment when I’m not making that money and nothing stops me.  I know I need a certain number of tracks by the end of the week or month and I just make it happen.  I’ve learned to tap into all of my emotions past and present and just lay down the bars or chorus.  No order to that either. 

What would you be doing right now if it wasn’t for your music career? 

Probably living a simpler life, wife and kids and focus solely on my business. 

If you could change anything about the music industry, what would it be? 

Nothing.

What impact does growing up in Toronto have on your music? 

Huge impact.  The multiculturalism in Toronto is unmatched to anywhere I’ve ever been.  Experiencing that growing up you learn a little about most cultures.  You learn to relate to people in different ways.  Not to mention the last decade has been amazing for the Toronto music scene, so the local competition always pushes me to put out better music. 

What is one thing you were afraid to do, but felt amazing after you accomplished it? 

I can’t recall being afraid to do anything, I embrace my challenges.  If I ever go sky diving that would make the list though. 

What’s the best vacation you’ve ever been on? 

My high school grad trip. 

What’s something everyone should experience at least once in their life? 

Love.

What is the one book or movie that made you change your point of view on a subject? 

The movie “Concussion” starring Will Smith.
