I don't really watch too many movies, but I try to watch inspirational pieces about other musicians. Musical documentaries truly inspire me.
I get kinda nervous before every show.
As a child, I wanted to be a singer, but that was only because I thought I could sing. I'd sing along to Brandy and Usher and *NSYNC.
I'm kind of shy when it comes to women, so I don't really approach them. I'll just admire them from afar, and if they happen to say something to me, then maybe I'll find the courage to say something.
For Odd Future, I only made beats for Mike G. With the Internet, I'm part of a production team making tracks for me to sing over.
My dad's a businessman, and I grew up looking up to him, how he dressed to go to work and, whenever I went to his office, how he spoke to people.
Kaytranada's a really cool dude.
I hate the word 'lesbian.'
If you ranked Odd Future, I was at the very bottom.
I was 16 when I recorded 'Flashlight.' I produced it, made the beat, wrote it, recorded it.
I, for one, am, like, the most ordinary person. Like, people look past me all the time because I'm just so blending in.
I'm never a flashy type of person.
I think my first client other than my brother was this kid named Tallent. I was charging him eight dollars an hour to record in my room. He kept coming back, then I went up to ten dollars an hour.
My parents have always been supportive of whatever I've wanted to do.
If you want to be a pioneer, you have to be intentional, at least a little bit.
I'm sure that, on some level of the major-label and old-establishment industry, there are execs and agents who think homosexuality is a liability.
I have an uncle in Jamaica who's an OG producer/songwriter over there, Mikey Bennett.
I use Logic or Reason and a midi keyboard for beats. If it's gonna have all live instruments in it, I'll probably use Pro Tools and have the band lay stuff down.
Almost everything I've ever recorded, I recorded myself at the desk, in my house.
Older people generally appreciate live music.
