I'm taking a lot of freestyle music and flipping it.
I grew up around salsa, merengue, bachata, bass music, freestyle, hip-hop, techno, house, rave.
I feel like I've been fighting in music and creating new ways and new opportunities to make things work even when people thought it wouldn't.
I make music with no boundaries.
Music to me is something I did as a hobby.
I was irrevocably betrothed to laughter, the sound of which has always seemed to me the most civilised music in the world.

I want to hear as much music as I possibly can before I leave this mortal coil but it's impossible to hear it all because there's so much of it.
Going to college was never an option. I was passionate about music, but how much talent I actually had was another matter.
I'm very, very open to experimenting with different people and trying to find different methods of writing and making music.
I don't think about what I can't do or what I shouldn't be doing. I just think there are endless possibilities musically, really. And I'm very, very open to experimenting with different people and trying to find different methods of writing and makin...
