Band Members: I don't have band members as such but because I work in recording, a lot of my friends are very talented singers and rappers, so I get them to do some things on the tracks. These are, The Leano, Vince Okenyi, Ras Simba, Patoti, Audrey Lady A fosn. Also jamming with Freaky Stew from the punk band Freaks Union, with guitars and percussion.
Influences: I am very influenced by those around me and people who create their own music rather than using sample cds.Also over the years and more recently inspired by,
