Gonjasufi quotes:

What really changed my life was watching the movie Juice and the opening scene - just hearing that record rotate. When I heard that I started getting serious about DJing and making beats and recording myself on the four-track.

Back in the day I used to drive with a rock just in case.

During recording I was into yoga hard and I was very sober and clear minded. But when I went to mix I took a break from that.

Everybody that knows me knows I have a temper.

I found the ability to become still. The hardest thing for people to do is just be still. And in that stillness you create motion.

I didn't get into music until the early 90s when I heard rap music for the first time.

I don't like to use a microphone around my head while I'm teaching so I had to learn how to project from my stomach more.

I had to come out on stage with my little staff and robe and I had this sun on top of my head that my mom made - that was the first time I was ever on stage singing in front of anybody. I realized that I was one of the best acts of the night but I didn't give singing much thought after that. I was really into playing baseball.

I need yoga every single day.

I've dealt with a lot of bullshit because of the way I look and a lot of misconceptions about what people should be afraid of.
