Why this name?
Swagger, the key ingrediant!!
Do you play live?
I still DJ from time to time but I spend alot of my time behind the computer knocking out beats and pulling my hair out trying to get as near to perfect as possible.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It allows a wider range of people to hear an unsigned artist. Before the internet only local people could hear a local musician.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, that is my ultimate goal to hear my favorite artists over my work.
Your influences?
My beats come from a wide range of influences from Havoc, Alchemist, DJ Premiere, Kayne, 9th Wonder, Just Blaze, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Timbaland, Pharrell.
Favorite spot?
Favorite city is probably Las Vegas, San Diego, or LA ....that is until I go to New York.
