ON THE TURNTABLE:
“The turntable for me is everything. It’s a set of drums, it’s a bass, it’s lead vocals, it’s the remix tool used in beat juggling.”
ARTISTIC GOALS:
“We are ultimately out to create with our decks, to take styles of music in impossible directions.”
ON BEING DUBBED “GRANDMASTER” BY HIP-HOP FOUNDING FATHERS KOOOL HERC, GRAND WIZZARD THEODORE, AND DXT:
“Grandmaster Flash was one of the people who made me want to get a set of turntables to begin with, so it’s an honor. But nothing has changed – I still have the same energy, the same hunger, the same everything. That’s just a name added in front of my name.”
WORST FEAR:
“Deep water. Really deep water, I can’t swim man.”
