From interview on [2]

Why this name?

eveyone called me einstein growin up since I was a baby. That soon became Stienski, roughly insprired by the man who taught me how to dj and match beats Aaron Pierce, who at the time was dj'ing in Seattle under the name Airsky.

Do you play live?

I been playin for years all over the countryside, and every moment has been a true blessing. I had the chnce to emcee longside mc Dino, AK1200,Dara,Deiselboy at the Denver Coliseum for Moonshine Over America. That was one of the high points of my career, there was around 10.000 people there.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

internet helps artists such as myself get our music to a larger audience. A audience who might not get a chance to find our toons on wax or in stores in their local communities.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Yes if they accepted our genre as the future sound of radio.

Your influences?

tons of influences.........most of all the living God Haile Sellasie I, the elect of God, the mos hi and ever merciful JAH!

Favorite spot?

Favorite spot is in the booth or in the studio
