I am from Clifton Park, NY it is just north of Albany and south of Saratoga . It was a kind of a small town, I went to a private high school in Troy, so I got to meet kids from all around , and hear a lot of different music.

* WHERE DOES THE INSPIRATION FOR YOUR BEATS

The thrill to create something new most of the time. Other times it might be a sample I had been thinking about all day at work. I figure a lot of my chopping ahead of the time at my nine to five job.

* WHAT DO YOU FEEL WHEN YOU LISTEN TO YOUR OWN BEATS?

I always feel like I could have mixed it better! Hahaha! I love listening to my beats. I put them in my work playlists, and listen to them.
