What is the best thing that I love about my work? The best thing about my work is being fortunate that it’s a medium that I’m comfortable with and I’m aware that I’m competent to execute my ideas in a way that’s meaningful to me and our audience alike.I did everything I could to get kicked out of secondary school because even then I knew that music was the only thing I was good at  and it was what I was put on earth to do.By 19 I’d played the Astoria so that was a validation for me to carry on. 

What is my idea of perfect happiness? Its a variety of things ,Sometimes it’s being around the Ones I love, sometimes it’s collaborating artistically with people I thought I could never ever get the chance to collaborate with,Writing or performing a great song -other times its being alone and enjoying the quiet and calm or walking in the woods at night .

What is my greatest fear? Being trapped, I’m very claustrophobic so being stuck and not being able to move or a never ending anxiety that lasts forever.

What is the trait that I most deplore in myself? There are many ! I hate speaking my mind out loud -I do it far too often and reveal way too much as a result which leaves me feeling vulnerable , I hate that I can’t control my anxiety too.

Which living persons in my profession do i most admire? Well we would be here all night if I had to write that ( most of em are dead!) but I do like people no matter what genre of music who aren’t afraid to push boundaries ,equally I admire-Architects, Scientists,Doctors,Philosophers,Writers, Film Directors etc anyone who has great ideas and manifests their destiny and doesn’t give up till they do.

What is my greatest extravagance? For now? A brief piece of mind .Or accomplishment.

On what occasion would I lie? It wasn’t so much a lie as Protection, basically I had to,protect my poor mother from the truth of my intention to smuggle myself into a country without a passport .Which I did successfully without being caught.

What is the thing that I dislike the most in my work? Its not really anything to do with the work per se, it’s more to do with all the waiting around , attitudes or worse when someone promises to do something and doesn’t deliver.

When and where was I the happiest, in my work? Last summer was very exciting – when we weren’t recording we were in the road , and we got to record with a couple of people that I’m a massive fan of their work .People like Flatbush Zombies,.Kane Groceries and Marcy Mane of Goth Money.John Perry of The Only ones.A high and a validation that can’t be matched.

If I could, what would I change about myself? I would straighten my nose so I could breathe, Get rid of all my anxiety , be more healthy and get my six pack back.Be a person that sleeps well and who is less angry.

What is my greatest achievement in work? There are many,I’ve had a certain degree of luck- Deadcuts second album “A Hit On All Sixes” I’m very proud of that record.Also our Collaboration’s with Flatbush Zombies and Goth Money , the Track with Flatbush Zombies entitled ” Aries” was made for the Marvel Comics Black Panther series and has had over a quarter of a million hits on YouTube alone.Playing “People” with Boyd Rice live was incredible too.

What do the words ‘The Financial Freedom to Create’ mean to me? Ha! Total freedom! It’s a rare thing these days , money and great ideas can alchemically conjure amazing shit.Like if you’ve a great song and you can afford to pay your favourite director to shoot your video then it’s going to be great art.If you can use money to help your live show be that much better by hiring a team to make it better then that’s another way.

What is my favourite place to eat and drink, in my city? I prefer to dine indoors.

What books influenced my life and how? I don’t think any have influenced my life , they’ve mirrored them though “from the dust returned ” is a book about a vampire who awakens in a sterile age in which culture and other values cease.Burroughs’s “Junkie” mirrors my late teens to mid twenties as does Jim Carroll’s “Basketball diaries” and  Alexander  Trocchi’s “Cains Book” .Anthony Burgess’s “Clockwork Orange ” and Blanche Barton’s ” Secret Diary of a Satanist ” (About Occultist Anton Lavey).

What do the words “Passion Never Retires” mean to me? Well I think it means that there’s never a day or second off when it comes to passion, it can drive you fucking mad though -there’s a moment in the biopic on Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys where he’s at The Dinner table and  the rattling of the Cutlery starts to become a Rythym in his mind and drives him insane .Im wide awake -the time is now 5.42 am  and that’s because I can’t stop thinking about all I’d like to do.This is why so many creative people use drugs -to shut their brain off for a while .Also its like a surge -someone’s hooked you up to the power source and Passion can burn you to death.Proceed with Caution people !

How can you contact me? My singer co writer Mark Keds, any of the talented people I’ve listed -Try Adam Espira he’s a great artist , Jason Atomic and his wife Manko, Andy Clark, Lou Smith who has shot videos of us , Fat White Family and many more, Diabolus Rex who has invented the “Ragnarok Engine” , Kane Groceries -Marcy Mane -oh the list is endless!
