Please tell me about your life as a teenager
i grew up moving a lot and moving schools a lot. i was probably more on the naughty side as a teenager , which resulted in me being expelled from one of my schools. i sat in the back of the class and was either drawing rude pictures in my books or distracting the other students and i was always called up to the principals office . iwas both bullied and a bully . i was skinny awkward , totally insecure and had a terrible luck with the ladies .
How do you see yourself now ? How did you finally end up doing what you do now ?
My life now is pretty much the opposite of my answer to the previous question . i totally rule and totally kill it with the ladies ! Right ladies ? anyone ? NO ? OKay maybe not always .
I turned to music after failling EVERYTHING else ive ever attemted . i thank my parents for giving me musical genes and im definetly reaping the benefits of it today. I LOVE MUSIC , I LIVE MUSIC and my typing skills are well below average , so to be honest i never really had a choice . No all joking aside . i worked very hard to get where i am and im still working my ass to go further , much further ! i believed in myslef when no one else did . I never had a plan B ! People laughed at me all the way to the top and some are still waiting for me to fail. to that isay thank you for fueling the flame . Keep fueling it cause one day this flame will turn into raging fire! GOD i sound like a right wank !
Who is your biggest inspiration ? please elaborate the reason
JESUS CHRIST is a big ONE . I admire his life of sacrifice and purpose . i think he was the ultimate counter culture revolusionist who lived for a purpose bigger than himself . i think that made him Untouchable , both by life and death . i always say he was punk rock before there was punk rock !
If you can tell anything to your Family , what would it be ?
I LOVE YOU and I TOLD YOU SO
Name best 3 songs of all time !
Sweet Disposition , Sweet Disposition ( axwell remix ) , Sweet Disposition ( Radio edit ).
Joking! not really . this question is impossible to answer. sorry
Mention one most disgusting thing that you feel like vomit , everytime it gets to your mind !
Well funnily enough vomiting me want to vomit . it feels gross , it looks gross and it feels even worst! other than that , manipulation sometimes makes me vomit in my mind .
When was the lowest point of your life? and how did you finally overcome ?
Ive lived a very clolourful life with just as many low points as high! i dont know if its just my up bringing but i always look to something outside of myself whenever im in deep shit! i look to a higher consciousness and energy . when youre down in the gutter all you can do is look up at the stars . I think there is a tender beauty in that final act of sweet surrender.
