On his choice of music, he listed rappers Eminem, 2Pac, Jay Z and Dr. Dre as his musical influences. He said, "When I was a kid I was just a noisy boy, and I preferred to be in front of people when I was young all the time," and "At that time I was not a good singer; still I'm not a good singer. So when I see the rappers (I thought), 'Oh, talk can be music? Wow. That's for me." User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
