story when you consider where you’ve

come from to where you’ve now found

yourself there’s only one way you’ve

done that and that self drive and

determination what do you think that has

come from

I would have to say I would have to say

growing up and the examples that were

set for me from my parents

you know we struggle a lot there was a

lot of struggling going on when I was 14

we lived in Hawaii we lived in a on an

efficiency an efficiency like one room

efficiency where the rent was 180 bucks

a week and eventually come and then we

were evicted and so then we had to move

from the line because we couldn’t live

there there’s a lot of struggle and

watching them struggle and watching them

pull through it and and having that

story’s more like hits where you just

had you came from nothing you didn’t

have any Donald to rub there between you

your fingers yet nothing and yet like

Rocky

I wanted to I knew I wanted it to be

something and it was important to me to

be something it was it was important to

things when you’re younger but I could

recognize it now man

and just in terms of the drive and the

determination a lot of it was experience

to get your ass kicked

get back up and put the gloves back on

and you swing away whatever it is that

you want to do you’ve gotta get after it

when I was younger and starving and

struggling and literally we were getting

evicted out of our apartment that you

know the music that moved me at that

time wasn’t sentimental music but it was
