DBK: Tell us about yourself and what you currently do? (Age, educational background, hobbies)
VA: I’m 21, currently working at Sound A Rama (Rahway’s local record shop). For as long as I can remember music was a passion I had so I wanted to make it a reality. Following high school I decided to go to The Institute of Audio Research. That was the turning point for it all; they broke down everything from the music to the business side also. Since then I have been working on my sound & new material wherever I find inspiration.

DBK: What makes you different from everyone in your field?

VA: With everything I do I try to fill a void. Though much of my work has been sample based thus far I try to bridge the generation gap & show my appreciation to those that paved the way. When I sit down with an artist it’s never the same. My main goal is to help them paint a picture where our medium is the music. .

DBK: What made you start? (skateboarding, bike riding, DJing, rapping etc.)

VA:Growing up I had friends that were into the skating more than I was; hanging out with them I began that. Shortly there after I got into the music and been here ever since. I’d say about three going on four years now.

DBK: Who is the biggest influence in your life?

VA: Aside from my mother because she was a single parent showing me there was always a way out. I’d have to say anyone I’ve met or anyone I meet that is striving to make a difference. The few that stand out to blend in.

DBK: What big names have you have worked with in the past?

VA: St Joe Louis (formerly Prizm), Kay M (106 & park’s Freestyle Friday grand champ), Broken English, Rewmec, & Nucci Reyo

DBK: What does Dirty Backpack Krew mean to you?

VA: With the upbeat urban look, its trendy for starters but it’s a way of life. It’s like the perfect blend between good taste & futuristic raw expression for me being the rebel that I am.

DBK: Any Last Words or comments for the readers…………………
