What kind of music do you normally listen to? The answer for this used to be anything, but then as time went on a lot of newer music just started sounding worse. Haha, not to discredit any good music these days, but I guess I’m attracted to music with substance or at least the quality of making me wanna move, sing-a-long, prance, frolic, help an old lady cross the freeway, you know, the stuff that matters.

Who is your idol? My parents, Justin Timberlake, Tyler Durden, Fred Astaire, the greats of 07′ Lawrence Kao Tony Tran Mike Song & Cindy Minowa, my brothers Hoang Duong & DJ Casis, my nephews Nik Andres & Marcus Brian Gerodias, and of course Tom Hanks.

What is your guilty pleasure? Not having a guilty pleasure.

Any bad habits? Bad habits? No. Bad Hobbits? Well..

Tell me something juicy: I started going to Morongo when I was about 15-16ish, and did pretty well at poker there. Once I turned 18 and was legal to go, I started losing. Luckily after turning 21 Vegas made me a happy gambler once again.

What does Modern mean for you? An experience that I don’t think can ever really be described, only lived.
