Why this name?

Loc. Derived from Loco or Crazy, I got my name from the crazy actions and decisions I made growing up on the streets of washington state. Growing up poor on welfare in a single parent household with a disabled brother, no money whatsoever and the odds stacked up against me, and at the time going by the name Loccapone a.k.a Capone, I was involved in criminal activity and was known for going crazy in the sence of the term and quite Literally. I was diagnosed Bipolar, Criminal Minded, and "troubled" in phsyciatric session's from the age of 14 through to the age of 18. At the age of 18 my life was turned around, and alot of my problems were healed by God and total surrendering to the salvation of jesus christ (Yeshua). Ive now taken the "Craziness" and channeled it into Love, Life and Music. Now living my life for the savior, at 18 I added Saint onto my past name, Saint derives from being a slave for God, one that actively seeks him, and carries out his will constantly. And thats how the description of how the Loc Saint came to be.

Your influences?

Tha Holy Spirit. God, my father inspires me in my music. To alot of peoples surprise what inspires me the most as fas as other music is Folk music, Gothic Music, RnB music and pretty much any music with alot of emotion and true feeling mixed into the lyrics and overall song. I wanna be touched by some sort of emotion or feeling, for the song to moove me, and to me that is true inspiration. Tech Nine and Big Krizz are big inspirations for me in music as well as Twista and the legendary Bone Thugs.
