Why this name?

Do you play live?

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Makes music more accessible to the public rather than the large conglomerates hording it all for capitalistic greed. It also allows the artist to take his destiny into his own hands and not be pimped by the music industry.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
NO
Your influences?
Stevie Wonder, The Last Poets, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Teena Marie, Pattie Labelle, India Arie.
