I never expected to be approached for an ad campaign.

I'm obsessed with fuzz pedals.
rocks who-i-am play
I grew up with synthesizers and weird, spacey music-hip-hop, R&B, modern rock-that I heard on the radio. That's influenced the way I play music. It's natural for me to go with what I feel. If I didn't let that other stuff out and stuck to a certain format, I would feel like I was missing out on something. I'm just enjoying my ride and being who I am.
people inspired draws
I like to see how people interact with each other and I draw from that. I'm inspired by that.
thinking guitar range
I don't think anything can touch the expressive range of the guitar.
I'm somewhat of a hoarder. I keep everything.

I've been called 'musically schizophrenic,' and some people think that's a cool thing.
can-do i-can know-how
All I can do is do what I can do, and do what I know how to do. I do what I love to do, and that's pretty much it.

There's so much music in Austin, and it's all so different.

When I was growing up, I would go hang out with older guys at night in blues clubs.

I don't believe in competition, ain't nobody else like me around
song people goes-on
Music is soaking up things that I see in other people or things that go on in my life, and I put it out there in the form of a song.
rights black sound
For a black male, the sound of the blues is pre-Civil Rights. It's oppression.
