How do you like to describe your sound? J*DaVeY: I have no description at all. We still don't have a description. It's just a hot.

It's so amazing to watch him work. Just because he's a genius at everything, so. It was a little nerve-wracking. A little nerve-wracking. I mean, you know, especially opening up opening up for somebody like him because then you watch his show after yours and it's like, wow, we were just on the same stage.
