DOPE SAMPLE - Being a dj, I’m always listening for a sample. Even if it’s not a recognizable sample, it could even be just a small sound that I like. I could hear a bass sound from a jazz song in a coffee shop, and I would immediately have to act on it.
A GREAT MOVIE - I enjoy great films, it provides inspiration. Classic movies from great directors, Tarantino, Scorsese, Spike Lee, etc can inspire me to create the soundtrack. It’s almost like telling a story through audio.
HOT TEA - This is a very underrated gem. I am not a big coffee drinker. Hot tea is a great way for me to wake up in the mornings. Being a dj, naturally I am a night owl, and when I first started making beats, I stayed up after my dj sets to create and experiment. Mostly now I create while the sun is out. Hot tea allows me to create in the day time hours, and I have grown to enjoy.
A good meal - A Good Meal with my family is always a great source of inspiration. It allows me to recharge and have fun. I love cooking for my loved ones. I appreciate the small moments I have with my people. To me that is what life is about.
A NICE VIEW - Whether it’s a cityscape or in the country, a nice view does wonders for my creativity. I appreciate a great view, and how ever I am feeling, I will create just that. I pull inspiration from different parts of my life. I can pull from times with my grandmother as a young kid, or with my friends DJing a college party.
