I always would dream of making music videos. Whenever I make music, I always have a visual in my mind. I always see things.

There was nothing more I wanted to do than to see my dad react well to my music. I still do. I send him my demos all the time.

There is always a mix of apprehension and excitement before you try songs out on a new audience.

Shaft was a pop culture figure along t he lines of, I guess, Dirty Harry - except that he wasn't as much of a racist. So yeah, I was always a fan.

I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.

I don't eat cereal actually... Frosted Flakes... that's as close as I can get.
