Have you performed in front of an audience?
Yeah, I love to play live, specially with my new Band Irie Tunes Project, we play kinda Rock music and that gives a phat ass energy...very satisfaing. I got my special moments during the DMC world finals in London, althought I didn't get far, I loved the experience. Start touring europe in februari 2005 with Das Primeiro (Portugese Rap act)
Your musical influences
I'm pretty much inspired by any kinda music. Right now I get a lot outta Ned Hoddings and D-Styles. It blows my mind hearing such melodic compositions coming out of some turntables. I listen to a lot of hip hop. My favourite hip hop era is between '94 and '99. I like jungle music, House , Rock,a lot of funk and soul but the music that I like best is music that cannot be catagorized, experimental stuff from unknow artists, peopple who are pushing the boundaries.
Anything else?
