Otis Redding, The Rza, John Frusciante

How did you discover your particular sound?

I was busking for beer money and suddenly realized I could sing.

What are the most important pieces of equipment to you?

Just a guitar and a notebook really. Maybe a simple tape recorder to start.

What outside of music inspires you to create?

So many things. Mainly the simple ones, little interactions between people, the way light contorts through a pane of glass, a beautiful woman, the perfect avocado. Things like that.

James Brown hands down
