City: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

What do you think about these days more than anything else?

To spend more time working on personal artistic endeavors and less working on my commercial stuff. I’ve been dying to dive into a music video like I dove into “The Music Scene.” That took me half a year to do. I’ve been thinking a lot that I just need to spend that amount of time on something again, something personal, that I have full control over. It’s one of those things that builds up in you over time, especially with the more commercial work you do, you get antsy and need to take time to do something real for yourself.

What was your proudest moment?

The other day I checked my credit score— better than my father’s. And I called him up, and I shoved it in his face. That was a good moment. (laughs)
