It came to me in a dream one night. It's a long story. Basically, I have a birth certificate, so I'm property of some Wall Street assholes just like anyone else in this godforsaken country. In other words stamped/labeled/marked/whatever. I'm a soldier for what I believe to be righteousness, and my principles and ethics. Being 'marked' also refers to one who is watched and/or doomed to die.

I've played a few shows live, but mostly I'm just a recording artist who gets invited to a lot of parties. It's never been a big thing, mostly a hobby. But hey that could change, you never know. It's what I always wanted to do. Make people dance and chop up their brains.

I think the internet is the salvation of music as we know it, and we need to protect it. I think it will destroy the music industry as we know it eventually, and that is a good thing. Music should be artist-run, almost socialist in nature. The internet allows people who have the drive to make good music to put it out and not just do what statistics tell them to do for ca$h. Protect the internet and free speech, not some company's intellectual property. That's what I believe in.

Possibly, it would depend on the type of deal, and the type of label. What you mean by major is up for debate. I would rather sign to a label that treats me right than get famous (or get famous quicker). Call me crazy. I don't need some McDonalds deal, ya know?

I've been making beats since I was in 8th grade, moved on from techno to rap in a couple years, did that for a while, and now I make stuff that makes your brain feel all meltly. I never even liked rap until I got into doing it. But after you start learning I guess you get a kind of respect for the whole genre because you can point out the genius of other emcees a lot better. I rolled with this band UKZ for a while and then my friend Marcus "Dark Psyde" Arias and I decided to make a band out of our senior project, but we didn't have any instruments. So we did what we was already doing - rap. As of now, however, Gunslingers is disbanded and we're all doing our own thing. Marcus is working on an album now with his new group Deus Ex Mafia, and I am working on an EP of my own. Don't ask me for a release date please :P

I like crazy D&B sh*** from other countries, and sh*** like Hive, Crystal Method, Aphex Twin, Mechwarrior, Mayhem, Caspa, Evol Intent, Cookie Monsta, and metal along the same lines like Marilyn Manson, Orgy, goth industrial sh*** like that. I'm a closet goth to tell the truth... lol It's a throwback really to my Juggalo days when I was real into ICP and the rest of Psychopathic. I do my own thing tho, and it doesn't sound like them at all. My most inflencial rap/urban artists include, in no particular order; Ras Kass, Sage Francis, Royce Da 5'9", Mobb Deep, ATCQ, KRS-one, Gangstarr, Cypress Hill, Tech N9ne, Rahzel, krNfx, and Twiztid.

Fort Bragg is nice some times. Probably the nicest place I've ever been is Harbin Hotsprings. Hopefully I'll spin a set there at one of their dances one day.

ModPlug Tracker, Cool Edit Pro 2.1, FL Studio 9, Amen, massive amounts of random samples, and all the equipment at the studio. I'll list it all later when I can take inventory. It ain't like it's mine.

Big up to Mike Maness and the Jenova Project, Barock Ponder, Marcus Arias, Nick Douglass, Dylan Mokler, James Neville (my sensei), Ethan McGwire, and Brandon "L" Manzano.
