In my early life, I was a professional folk singer. I used to sing on the national television and radio in Canada. Nobody knows that - but now I've said it, haven't I? I'm strictly a shower singer at the minute.
From the time I was 8 years old I was on almost every radio show there was.
I think Janeane Garofalo is incredibly funny, and I love Dennis Miller.
Radio's a scary thing for me. It's dope to be on there.
I don't want to be on the radio. I don't want to be on Mtv.
I feel like when I came in the game, I was more focused on like, 'yo how many times can I get on the radio?'
I've made my records and I've done all the interviews. I've done lots of long tours. I've made stupid videos. I've done all that stuff and learned all the lingo and gone to radio stations and shmoozed with DJs on the air and met retail people.
I wanted to be the perfect artist. I'd do three hours of media interviews a day, going to every radio station I could squeeze in. I'd sign autographs after the show until everybody left.
Local television shows do not, in general, supply make-up artists. The exception to this is Los Angeles, an unusually generous city in this regard, since they also provide this service for radio appearances.
