My family is all musicians - my dad plays drums, my mom plays flute, my older brother plays drums, my little brother plays drums and piano. For some reason, I didn't get the memo, so I just play bass.
I grew up in Compton: 116th and Wilmington.
I actually went to an arts middle school with Shia LaBeouf, but even there, I was one of the weirder kids.
I remember swallowing my tooth up in a high chair, but I definitely don't remember the first time I played bass.
'Looney Tunes' was not a children's cartoon. I don't care what anybody says. It was very politically charged, very racial. And then they tried to soften it up for kids later. But it was for the adults.
I feel like I try to write from an honest of a place as I can - without scaring people off too much, I guess.
