My life is too boring to watch on TV its pretty me in front of the Open Labs Neko for hours at
a time editing and brainstorming. Then the interaction with me and my session players
really boring stuff I think that’s what it would be called too "Really Boring Stuff" It takes a
very long time to do this type of music and there is a lot of editing involved so I would feel
bad for whoever had to the editing lol .

What else can we expect from you in the near future?

You can expect me to be constantly taking risks musically and doing my best to not to stop
challenging the rules. Boy Wonder - Idiot was pegged as too urban to be rock and too Rock
to be Urban and we just broke Radio 95.7 the Beat. I think people are all bored of music
which is why they all wanna be artists now so I hope to bring something different to the
table.
