HHDX: MySpace has become the place to go if you’re an independent artist looking to get exposure. So, what has been a positive of joining MySpace and what has been a negative?
JW: I’d say that the positive is that I get hits everyday about a magazine, TV show, club or whatever. Promotion wise, it’s great, too. The negatives, for example are: I was in the Beverly Center, some lesbian was passing out a flyer with my picture on it for a lesbian event. I’m not a Lesbian. No offense to anyone who is, but that’s not my type. There was some chick that came up to me and said that I knew her from MySpace. I had never seen the girl a day in my life [laughs]. Someone who was faking my pictures had hit her up and she thought that I was her. So, I’d said the negatives are all the fakes. The people putting my images and making fake pages claiming that they’re me. I used to have twenty fake pages on MySpace. There are some sick weirdo’s out there. The craziest thing that I’ve ever heard was that someone had said that, “I would f*** your brother just to get with you.”

HHDX: All I can say is “wow” to that comment. Since you’re originally from the Bay and relocated to Los Angeles – what’s the difference between the two areas?
JW: The Bay is more like a community. Everyone has each other’s backs out there. You could get your records played out there. In LA, everyone is trying to make it to the same place. It’s more cutthroat. That’s the major difference. In LA, you’d take ‘em to a club to entertain. But in the Bay, you could go to a house party or something like that to have fun. We’re like a big ass family in the Bay. My mom is a broker; she flips houses, so we moved around to different places. After my brother had passed away, she moved to LA for a change. So, I just kind of followed her out there.

HHDX: Here’s a question for the ones who don’t really read the interviews. Are you currently single or dating?
JW: Single. I haven’t dated anyone in two years. I don’t like dealing with bullshit. I don’t have patience. I’m not on that drama tip. Dudes are emotional. A lot of people don’t like the fact that I’m busy and always doing something. Guys who I have talked to didn’t like that because I’ve been on my grind. So, it’s steady drama. Dating to me is like pointless. You go through a thousand people before you meet that one person, so I don’t understand it. Continued on page 3 »
