Shoutouts to Music Bliss!

Lets talk first a little about your Greek heritage and growing up in Detroit. What significance did your background and your environment play in your development as not only an artist, but as a person?
As far as being Greek, I love it, I definitely grew upsurrounded by family. The whole being Greek thing made me feel…I guess the whole being cultured was kind of importanceto me, I didn’t realize it at the time growing up, but now that I have had the opportunity to live through it and see a lot of my friends… I have friends of all races, I call my friends the UnitedNations. I got everybody you know what I mean [HA.] I think that its cool, especially in music because like with a whole bunch of different backgrounds in music, I think it really makes for a better product. I would say growing up I was definitely blessed having the family I have. Growing up in Michigan was fun man. We had fun. Growing up was definitely an experience, I feel like I am still growing up being that I am 20 years old. Being Greek is cool, I have a lot of Greek friends, I did try to go to Greek school to learn the language, but I definitely don’t have time for that, I do know the swear words and stuff like that [HA.]

Definitely one of the first things anyone learning a language picks up on…

Definitely [HA.] A lot of the whole being Greek thing is connected to church. That’s where I got a lot of my culture, was going to church and events and stuff like that. As far as just being a kid growing up in Michigan, I feel like I had a normal life for a suburban kid. In middle school and stuff, I was the kid that got picked on for being short ya know. That made me want to write, it made me want to do music, it made me want to do something different. I don’t want to say that I was bullied or anything, but I was one of the only white kids on the basketball team, and I surrounded myself with other kids that played basketball, who did music, who rapped and stuff like that. I surrounded myself with a lot of African American friends that I had because of that, which I love, which is cool. I was just doing what my friends were doing, I was saggin my pants; I was wearing big clothes in middle school and stuff. I definitely got call “wigger” and all kinds of stuff like that you know, but I just felt like I was doin me. High School came, and I still played basketball up to varsity. I did not play my senior year though, that’s when I was really getting serious about music. That’s really it man, I started making a lot of music, doing mix tapes and I guess… that’s where I am at now.

Who would you say are the artists and for that matter even closer to home, the people that are a part of your life that truly inspire you to succeed in this industry, against odds that for many are often a deterrent in this game of chance we call hip hop?
