Why this name?

It's my name

Do you play live?

I occasionally play live at small venues or for friends.

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

It makes music much more accessible and allows people to truly find unique, perhaps unheard of artists

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

I would if I was ever offered a contract

David Arkenstone, DJ Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, Enigma, David Lanz, etc...

Favorite spot?

I was born and raised in Chicago and it still has to be my favorite city

Anything else...?

All of my beats are hand-made, I don't use loops and every noise or background effect are all unique tracks.
