>>>> So for the purpose of this interview how should I call you?

…hmmmn Can we just refrain of calling me anything. You are looking at me. It is an one-to-one thing here

What kind of art are you doing and what is your main motivation behind the art-production?

Ok , so the first think I would like to say is that I perform under various names and one of the advantages of this is that I don’t really feel particularly stacked to any specific medium. I am the autonomist artist which is that I usually select medium depending on the motivation of my work and its outreach and what I really want to directed it towards. Lately I am quite interested in, I suppose, young adults, and I am looking at what people consider being contemporary outlets of the popular music, rap, and hip-hop. So this is something I am playing around with a lot. I am actually secretly behind a great deal of artists, which also perform under various names and yet I am kind of shadow in the shadows, a puppet-master behind very famous people.

>>>> Are you, then, collaborating with some already well-recognized and popular artists?

I wouldn’t really call it “collaborating” because they don’t really have much input. I form their characters and let them out in the world. I teach them. I develop their songs. I develop their music. I even go to the point where I am there with the production designer or choreographers and we are really talking about it all and we basically present it to someone. So, in a way, you can say I am “producing” …sort of… in a mainstream music.

>>>> Ok. So you are a producer. Recently, you are mostly concentrating on music production, right?

Yes, very much so.

>>>> Before, just to put things in order, you were also engaged in an area of visual arts and writing practice. But now, how I understand what you are saying, it is all mostly about the soft manipulation. You are actually transforming or invading the mainstream art world as this grey eminence figure standing behind the scene that actually wish to bring some subtle changes to the mainstream business?

Yes. But words like “subtle” or “soft” are quite incorrect. Because you have to understand that I genuinely have made these people, these people who present themselves as self-made. I am actually the person who has formed them. Any single detail of them. I work with the tight-knit crew but basically at the certain point once I find that a certain artist or ego is particular attractive or interesting in whatever way I script their lives from that point onwards. And we sign the contract that they must pursue exactly what is scripted for them. We usually have contracts for 30 or 40 years.

>>>> Since the conversation is getting more and more interesting, let me ask why are you creating these “monsters”? Can you give us a few examples of people you have created?

Sure. One of the reasons that I first become intrigued in creating these various egos is because I found that leaving one life through one person was a bit too limited. And so I thought, I would begin to write “lives ” for other people and find those people to pursue them. So I can live alter-egos of myself through various mediums. So, for example, Kanye West is me...
