Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and I definitely have a hearty breakfast before I do anything.

I DJ all the time, as much as I possibly can. I'll never stop. That's my security blanket, that's what I'm good at. I still consider myself a better DJ than a singer. I can DJ in my sleep.
