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.
