Exclusive Interview

Tell us about where you are from and how you got to this position today.
I’m from the United States and I am driven to not stop until I reach my goals.

What are you currently working on and what can we expect to see?
I am working on my next project entitled “State of Emergency”, and fans can expect it to be a continuation of the story left off from t.h.e. Diagnosis EP. This is my 3rd project and it shows; there is a definite maturation in my style, subject, and execution of this project.

What is one of the most drastic changes you’ve made about yourself in the last year?
I am going back to school, and I am halfway done getting my Masters in Business Administration. My classes have helped me play a larger role with the business side of things related to my music. I have more control which allows me to be more creative with my the business side

Tell us about one of the hardest challenges you had to face in the industry?
Since my music, style, and demeanor is so different, it has been an uphill battle trying to put together an image that people will accept. I am sure it would be easier if I dressed, made music, and rapped like everyone else, but I am an individual and it shows in everything I do.

What was one of the biggest set backs in your career and how did you bounce back?
My biggest setback was going from writing songs as a member of a group (t.h.e. MisFits) to writing songs as a solo artist (t.h.e. MisFit Crazy8). It’s so much easier to write a hot 16 than to write an entire song!

What are some things artists need to be careful of?
Selling out by changing their music just to sound like everyone else.

What would you spend a million dollars on?
A 12 ft robot walker that I could show up to the VMAs in, and the rest would go to setting up a “Hip-Hop University”, where artists could have a standardized way of perfecting their craft and getting into the music industry.

What was your biggest risk taken in your career?
My biggest risk is performing music that I make to an audience that is expecting to hear music that you hear on the radio. Every show I take a huge risk.

What suggestions do you have for other artists like yourself?
Be confident in your music and who you are, and NEVER CONFORM!!!

What are the best ways to sell your products as an artist?
You have to have a professional look. No one wants to eat Fillet Mignon off of a garbage can lid.

What is one of your favorite ways to promote yourself and your music?
I love doing Shows, interviews and contests!

Any last comments or statements?
There is a point in every man’s life when he feels like he doesn’t belong or he doesn’t fit in; in short he has feels like a MisFit. My music, and my movement, is the embodiment of that time.
