How did you get into the music biz and how has your journey been?
When I was 13 or 14, I asked my dad to buy me a pair of Levi's Jeans because my friends had them and I wanted to fit in. Instead he bought me music CDs and among them was a Tupac Album. That's when my life changed completely. I wrote out the lyrics to the songs attempting to perfect my writing. At a later stage I heard Eminem rap and it's hard to explain but I just felt like I belong in the music world. There was no turning back I had a vision and recurring dreams so I told myself this is it, it has to be.
You've opened up for a lot of international acts, how do these features come about and what's been your most memorable show so far?
Hard work and perseverance. Sometimes I go 2 days without sleep. I need to make my dreams a reality so I work really hard behind the scenes. When we supported Nas, who is one of my favorite artists ever, I literally did not get sleep for many days on end just working trying to secure the slot, and the work paid off.
Final Words?
A great man is a sentence, when Steve Jobs passed away they said here lies a man who changed the face of technology and made our lives more comfortable with his innovative inventions. When you die, what one sentence will sum up your contribution to mankind?
