Q 4: How would you describe your music to someone who hasn’t heard of you before?
One side of my music is very x-rated, dark, violent and a high energy type of music. The other side is more deep, intelligent, controversial, enlightening and mystical.

The album ‘Dr. Dimensional’ represents the change within me as a person. The more I change for the better, and so does my music.
