i chose "Swahili" to represent a connection to where i'm from, Zaire.

I've done a few performances here and there but the best moments were always with friends in thebasement trying new things out. It gets kind of boring once the initial idea is there and you have to try and reproduce that same feeling over and over again.

The internet gives unsigned artist a fair shot at building a fanbase without leaving home and also getting constructive criticism before a song gets pressed up etc.

Of course. It all depends on what you want in the long run.

I used to actually have a list, but now i'm influenced by anything that kinda pushes the envelope. From Run DMC to Chino XL to Modest Mouse to Dwele to Vikter Duplaix to Organized Konfusion to Spacek

Ensoniq, Roland, Alesis
