He recalls some of his influences as Kanye West, Lil Jon and Just Blaze - to Daft Punk and Chromeo. He sometimes likes to include influences outside hip hop into his beats, offering an awesome mix of styles.
He started out as an artist, but started creating music when he realised that he was more talented with the technical side of making beats. He classes himself as a beatmaker rather than a true ‘music producer’ as he usually has no part in the recording sessions as the artist records over his beats.
