SoundClick artist: Jay Legaspi - Acoustic, Soulful, Honest... i hope...

I try my best to do as many live shows as possible. I still don't feel like i've paid enough dues, so I try to go to every open mic that I can to get my name out there.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

I'm here trying to send my music out to the world right?

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

I would love to-- but at the same time I'd be happy touring the country in a beat up car playing anywhere I could. The only thing I'm really scared of is people taking my music and saying they wrote it. Not that its at a level yet to be bitten, but still...

Your influences?

Aesop Rock, John Mayer, Joni Mitchell, El-P, Lyrics Born, Staind, the Neptunes (esp. Chad Hugo), Ben Folds, Andrew Choi, Peter Paik, Gus Wanner, Nas, A Perfect Circle, Elephant Man, Vybes Cartel, DJ Tomo, Mighty Crown, and everyone else that I've had the pleasure of listening to.
