I had a hoodie business, but I was secretly making music. So it wasn't anything serious until I dropped my first song, and then I was like, 'I think I want to do this.'

Gators have become my favorite animal because people hate them so much. I started doing research and learning about them. They're very intelligent animals and people don't realize it.

I dropped out of school at 17 and joined the Irish band The Frames, getting my first glimpse into the world of professional film making while shooting of a number of rock videos.
