How are you involved on campus? I’m a member of WUTT the University of Tampa’s one and only radio station and I had a show last semester.

Who is your role model and why? Porter Robinson because he is not afraid to express his creativity and make music that he likes without worrying what anyone else will think about it.

If you had to eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be? Pizza.

If you could visit one place in the world, where would it be? Tokyo, Japan.

What is your ideal job? Working for Apple Corporate in California or DJing and touring.

Where is your favorite place to shop? Topshop in Chicago and the Apple store.

What is your favorite form of social media and why? Twitter because I can keep in touch with all of my buddies who make music and live all around the country.

What are some of your pet peeves? My BIGGEST one is when people don’t know the difference between DJing and producing. Oh, and when people don’t wash their hands after going to the bathroom.

What is the craziest thing you have ever done? Opened for Big Sean at Party in the Park!

If you had to pick two celebrities to be your parents, who would it be? Okay, I’m going to have to say Guy Fieri (I’m set on it) and Paula Dean because we would live a very exciting life and eat a lot of really good food.

What has been your greatest accomplishment thus far in your life? Being the founder and manager of Paper Crane Collective and leading the release of Paper Crane Volume One.

What is one thing you could never live without? Making music!

If you could be on any TV show, which show would it be and why? The Bachelor because it’s my only chance for meeting somebody.
