How has your interest in fashion influenced your music?

Theophilus LondonIn your song "Big Spender" you mention Givenchy and take a crack a Tommy Hilfiger (and the idea that records revolve around fashion). How has your interest in fashion influenced your music? Fashion influences the music and the music influences fashion. Fashion plays a big role in music because that's how most people remember artists. I remember Jimmy Hendrix in all his psychedelic hippie-ish clothes, and when I think of Elvis, I think of the little white shoes, the suit and the way he wore his pants. Marvin Gaye chilled out with the big beard. Your style really embodies who you are. For me, it changes every day. The look has to be thought out. And I always want to be changing because I want to be on the forefront of trendsetting. It's like 'alright I did like that style that I was wearing in January, but now a lot of people are wearing it.'
