You can only be one place at a time, so make that time count.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>How would you describe your sound? How would you say it\u2019s evolved?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the start, I would say my music was rooted in the 90\u2019s boom-bap and early 00\u2019s chipmunk-samples. I would spend hours mimicking the sound of my favourite producers, compared to now where I feel the sound has developed more into a vast array of sounds and emotions but still centred around the drunken drums of J. Dilla and the soulfulness of Tribe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Who inspires you both on a personal level, and professionally?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On a professional level, I\u2019m really inspired by great storytellers and people that can convey their message in a way that draws the attention of others. On a more personal level it\u2019s my family, my friends and to see the way some of them dedicates themselves to mastering whatever endeavour they pursue and of course my North of family is a constant inspiration and motivation to push even further.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>If listeners could take away one message from your music, what would you want that to be?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Well, that would differ from song to song it\u2019s not all one message.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yet trough the Sonics I\u2019m trying to convey to the listeners that you should follow your passions and nurture your dreams.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The only thing certain in life is taxes and death, so try and be the best you before the end of act 3.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What\u2019s one question no one has ever asked in an interview you wish you were asked?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Well,l it\u2019s a lack of Seinfeld and Larry David oriented questions in my day to day. In a perfect world, I answer the big questions about Festivus and Kenny Bania.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What\u2019s a song from your personal playlist you\u2019ve had on repeat recently and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sa-Ra Creative Partners with \u2018Rosebuds\u2019, because Taz Arnold, Om\u2019Mas Keith &amp; Shafiq Husayn are pure genius!
