Gary Numan Had A Huge Influence On

I Was A Hip-hop Head. When I Really Found My Own Lane In Music, It Was Hip-hop. I Wanted To Make Hip-hop Music. And I Did, I Made A Lot Of Hip-hop Music.

I Grew Up In Ann Arbor, About 25 Miles West Of Detroit. And When You Grow Up In That Area, You Get A Healthy Dose Of Motown Automatically.

A Lot Of People Think I Live In A Soul Bubble.

I Didn't Appreciate Mick Jagger Until I Got Older, And Mainly Because Of The Mick Jagger Swagger. He Defined That For The World. He Was Bold And Adventurous With It, Too - Just The Ultimate Rock Star.

Even When I Was A Hip-hop Dj I Always Kept It Classy. The Motto Is Always 'flashy But Classy.' You've Got To Be Original And Stand Out From The Crowd And Take Some Chances. But You've Always Got To Keep It Classy.
