Why this name?

I was born as Master Surreal

Do you play live?

I rhyme live. Wherever. I like it. Special moments are private, thank you.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

It's great promotion because it's free plus it's accesible to a very wide audience.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Yes. If they give me creative freedom and they don't try to screw me over. ("Hey, it could happen!")
