4. Growing up, how important has music been in your life? Can you recall the moment when you decided that you wanted to be a musician? Was it an easy or difficult choice to make? Music is something that is grown within you, how important it becomes is up to you the individual.

5. Was there ever a time when you thought about doing something else? If you weren’t a musician today, what could you see yourself doing?
A. Well, actually, I love a lot of different things that exist in life. For example, I went to college on a four-year athletic scholarship, football and track.

I love to explore different challenges in life.

The late great master of the vocoder, Mr. Roger Troutman, gave me the confidence I needed to take charge of the stage. I have no preference, I would love to work with anyone that loves music.
