My last name is Hwande.

No. I do all my production from home. Yes it feels good to be my own boss.

Personally i believe it does change the industry in an independent since. It gives people like me that have talent and live in small cities that lack the funds, love, heart and mindset of this type of music as big cities do. I can make a name for myself and make a few dollars at the same time over the net.

It all depends on what the deal was and how it would affect the family.

I've been working with beats off and on for about 5 years but just recently got serious about it. I never did nothing major with them or even attempted to until now. So this is more of an experimental thing than anything else.

Anybody doing it big or small has an influence over me. They keep me believing that I can make it.

My favorite spot is at home with the wife and kids. But I love going up to Seattle to visit the relatives. It keeps me rooted.
