# 10 x 4 – Busdriver
**Busdriver** has been rapping, writing and producing music since the
early nineties. A punk ethic and a DIY approach has seen him release a
record with Deerhoof, collaborate with dozens of underground rappers and
DJ's, and now guest star on the track 'Pretentious Friends' from
Monkeytown -- the new album from **Modeselektor**, who in their role as
today's guest editors asked their friend to step up for some 10 x 4
treatment.
**Favourite part of the day to create?**
The afternoon commute has turned into the best time for me to write
vocals. My car has become my last sanctuary.
**Method or madness?**
Madness followed by method. My madness supplies the reasoning behind
the method or gives it credence at least. At this point, my life is 80%
method. My madness can be found in my 20's.
**Most influential person?**
Either Michael Jackson or Allen Ginsberg.
**First musical love?**
Once again... Michael Jackson.
**One thing you cannot live with out?**
Music or my daughters laughter.
**One thing you would live without if you could?**
The business of selling music.
**Favourite instrument?**
Rhodes.
**Your biggest break so far?**
Playing Coachella 07, playing with the Roots, signing with
Anti-/Epitaph, doing songs with Daedelus, Flying Lotus and Nosaj
Things... Umm, any night playing for any group of people.
**Biggest surprise?**
Not dying on tour
**Biggest disappointment?**
Not dying on tour
