Why this name?
PotLogic, i use because.. well honestly i do love my chronic and there was this hacker i knew named "pr0tlogic" pr0t ment "port" so, "PortLogic" and i dug his name and 1 day it just came to me, "PotLogic" and i told the homies and they thought it fit me.. so yeah and "The HERBalist" is like "Jungalist" but Weed for me. :D and "KewL Hand Luke" is a cold Western movie, but i got that name because i am swift with my hands on the beats!
Do you play live?
Actually. I could probably do some live sh*** but not with my HIPHOP. My electronic music i could definetly!
I've played live with many bands and its FUN! i love being in front of people playin music. One special and embarressing moment is i tripped over something playing bass for this punk band called "The enemies" and i started falling and i said f*** it im guna keep playing and a mosher which was the singer for the next band swiftly grabbed me before i fell and stood me back up...

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It's good because i can make something and 10 minutes later someone can tell me what they think of it. Rappers and other producers can network easier. only thing that sucks is the internet basically destroyed making a lot of money from selling album because so many people download music.. some pay on those itunes, but most "Steal it" and so u got to find other avenues to get ur paper not just make music and put it out.. it sucks, but it is what it is.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yeaah.
Band History:
I've been making Electronic music on FL Studio since the middle of 10th in high school and once i moved out i started making electronic music everyday for years with FL STUDIO. then i was producing hiphop joints and also Record Producing a demo for the Homie "Mc MG" a local rapper from Riverside, CA at my old house i was renting in vacant bedroom turned into a makeshift studio. I noticed QUICK i really liked making hiphop beats and mixing, mastering recordings.. So it snowballed from there.. (i've always been interested in this.. but once i fell into it, i fell in love with it!)
