   Tell us, Antony, how did you become interested in music?

I think my first inspiration was my father; he used to play a lot of music in the house when I was young.

   And of all the music you've heard since then, whose has inspired you the most?

Bob Marley I'd say is my greatest inspiration, and what I would like to know about Bob Marley is what inspired him, to write what he written in his music.

   Have you found the Music Technology course at Dep Studios useful?

It's been very helpful, I've gained a lot of confidence in my producing, which I know you need. A lot of ideas as well, 'cause that is what music is all about, it's all about having the right ideas, if you've got no ideas it doesn't make sense even troubling the equipment at all.

   What, for you, is the highlight of the course?

The best part of the course is having hands-on, sitting down, you've got your own PC, you can produce what music you want to produce, as well as the teacher helping you produce the music you want to produce, and adding the extra little bits that you haven't got and look extra ideas that you haven't thought about.

   So where do you see yourself in five years' time?

At the moment I'm producing so in five years' time I really would like to produce, be a producer on a major scale, you know commercially, on Top of the Pops or something like that. I also MC. I've done a lot of things across the globe, and I'd just like to do a few more things over the globe. So global domination in five years' time for me.

   Before you conquer the world, what comes next?

The next thing for me to do is basically, practise on my own studio and get my production at a good level so I can do commercial music.

   Would you recommend the music technology course to other aspirant musicians?

Yes, I already have recommended it to a lot of people.

   If you had to sum up where you're at in your career right now, what would you say?

Yes, I've got a hunger and I'm steaming with confidence and I'm ready to go.
