Why this name?
I played with the word staccato. It was a word I remembered back in my grade school years that means rhythm or timing. Well im not pretty sure¡¦ ill check again in the dictionary. Im in love with the drumbeats and rap and this is what these artform is all about which makes it beautiful- Perfect rhythm and timing. Now you go figure out why I chose the name. and by the way stakkkato is not a band name. u are interviewing a solo artist, silly.
Do you play live?
Yup. Anywhere as long as there is a good crowd.

Where?
I performed in college parties, open mic sessions, hiphop joints in various clubs. Videoke bar, at sa aming banyo.


Do you like it?
oh yeah. Especially if im in front of people who have the same appreciation of music like I have.


Any special moments?
I have a lot.
Freestyle rhyming
at the Flambeau disko | with the aguaviva brothers - Twin hiphop heads I met in a workshop. [hollaback! Wonder where you are right now] | joints with Karrraba and 5th region¡¯s illest- B.R.O. | listening to my mp3 player and spending time with my girl.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
it caused an immense loss of profit to the industry¡¯s businessmen and recording artists because ordinary people can exchange songs and purchase songs without the royalties going to the right people. On the other hand, The mp3 is one of the most significant innovations in the industry because it opened its way to a generation of a free-trade music. It allows artists to exchange their views, inspire, to criticize and get criticized. Now this is a challenge to the industry to develop a program that would filter out the pirates from the legitimate sharers, without hurting the artists¡¯ access to free expression and the businessmen¡¯s pocket.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Why not. If I find a good deal and could handle my works well.
