Q. I am very curious about your musical influences, and I also would like to know how you enjoyed playing Jess? Getting to be in so many different situations with such drastic story lines?
T. In regards to my music. I come from a very musical family and I have influences right across the board. But recently I've been spending most of my musical energy on freestyle rap and rhyme performing at a few local nightclubs and recording in a family studio. Yeah Jess was great but as you pointed out definitely a challenge due to the wide range of situations he faced. Everything was shot so quickly.

T. Crayon — Orange, they seem to taste the best.
