Interview Tommy Jo Spain<\/strong><\/p>\n

What was the 1st beat you ever heard played & where?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first ballroom beat I ever heard was the witch doctor. It was my first time at Escuelita’s for Vogue Knights with MikeQ. That day I fell in love with the culture .<\/p>\n

Your single Realness definitely gets the club gurls pumping. What is it like seeing the kids go awf to your track?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I see the club kids going off to my track. I really be excited and jumping like a school girl on the inside. On the Exterior I’m just chill. You know got to keep my cool<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Your flow is mix of a traditional MC & Ballroom commentator, what side has influenced you most?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There isn’t really a side that influences me most. Simply both sides are me. My love for ballroom culture and hip hop goes hand in hand. In my mind when I create music there’s no separation.<\/p>\n

How do you define Realness?
\n<\/strong>
\nTo me Realness is me being genuinely myself. Not me passing of as whatever role I look like a play to society.<\/p>\n

Favorite crash or ha?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A: The Ha and Crash are elements of a ballroom beat. Right now my favorite ballroom beat has to JayR Neutron’s Get Crazy.
\n
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most unique place you have performed<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

I’ll have to say performing in the middle of Newport Mall in Jersey City has to be the most unique place to date.<\/p>\n

Do you think the Ballroom sound is effecting the club sound?
\n<\/strong>
\nI think that the ballroom sound is evolving the club sound. Like now even apple has used the ha and crashes in its advertisements. It’s only a Matter of time the Ballroom sound will be in the club sound everywhere<\/p>\n

You were apart of Qweenbeat’s compilation album Qweendom. What was that experience like?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Being on QB’s Compilation Qweendom was lit. We all are friends, Qween Beat is like a family and creating music with people you mesh well with goes a long way.
\n
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n
