I Didn't Appreciate Mick Jagger Until I

Nowhere On Earth Has More Soul Than Detroit.

I Grew Up In The '80s And '90s Listening To Public Enemy And Mobb Deep And The Smashing Pumpkins. I Don't Even Know What It Was Like In The '60s - I Wasn't Alive Then - So The Mayer Hawthorne Sound Is Taking What I Can Learn From The Classics, And Blending It With My Hip-hop Dj And Producer Background And Punk-rock Bands That I Played In As A Kid.

I Just Want To Have Fun And Party With Everyone Around The World. That's The Only Rule, To Have Fun.

I Consider Myself To Have A Decent Sense Of Humor. What's Life Without A Sense Of Humor?
