00:00 Would you say that your love for music is something that runs in the family or are you
00:06 the first artist in the family?
00:07 I mean, you know, Filipinos, even especially abroad, we have a reputation for, you know,
00:12 being artistic, you know, that we like singing and stuff like that.
00:16 But are you the only one in the family who actually does this?
00:19 No, so my dad's been into music.
00:21 Like he's like a DJ for like a cover band, you know.
00:27 So every weekend, they would always just come over in the garage, do music.
00:32 And I guess that's just where it came from.
00:36 What kind of music was your dad into?
00:38 Like the old Tuduko, Filipino stuff, like soft rock, stuff like that.
00:43 Oh, okay.
00:44 So like Bon Jovi-ish, like that?
00:47 Yeah, exactly.
00:48 Yeah.
00:49 Oh, okay.
00:50 And given that these are the songs you grew up listening to, did they somehow influence
00:55 your music now?
00:56 Even if you're doing rap?
00:58 Even though I knew he was doing music, I never like, like, really paid attention too much.
01:03 But yeah, as I got older, definitely.
01:06 Like I'm a fan of that music now.
01:07 Like I listen to all types of music, to be honest.
01:10 Who were your biggest rap influences?
01:12 I mean, I remember when I was in high school, that was the 90s.
01:17 And I think maybe that was probably the biggest time for rap.
01:21 And you know, there were so many rap songs.
01:23 It wasn't something you had to search for.
01:25 They would just always play it all the time.
01:26 So we would be listening to Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and things and you know, stuff like that.
01:31 Who were your biggest rap influences?
01:34 So it's kind of all over the place because I'm 26.
01:36 So I'm just going to base it on who I was listening to at the time as a teenager.
01:41 But growing up, I feel like in my generation was Lil Wayne, Limp Bizzy Hustle, Chief Keef,
01:49 and a lot of the underground stuff that influenced my specific sound that I grew up off.
01:53 Oh, so you're only 26.
01:55 So when I say Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, or if I say MC Hammer, Marky Mark, Eminem, for
02:00 you that sounds like really old generation.
02:03 Yeah, like to be honest, I never really listened to or don't know any too much songs.
02:10 Eminem though, I do know a few Eminem songs that I listened to as a kid.
02:19 And here I was thinking I was going to impress you by mentioning Bone Thugs-N-Harmony or
02:23 Marky Mark, but it did not help my case at all.
02:30 [laughs]
