How do you keep your work on the cutting edge?** Really, my life is driven by progression. If I don’t feel like I’m moving forward then I get really bummed out. So I feel like my work just goes hand in hand with that. If my music or [my clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/randy-perez) or anything isn’t moving forward then that means I’m not. **2. How do you reset yourself to become creative? Do you have any rituals?** I don’t really have any strange rituals. I am really OCD and a perfectionist as well, but as far as rituals, I can’t say I really have any of those. I’m just constantly trying to stay in tune with what’s hot and keep trying to be a step ahead. **3. What is an example of a time where you have thrown away an existing idea to force yourself to find something new?** I do that almost daily on the music side of things. It’s a very regular thing to have almost an entire track done and just delete and restart. If it’s not adding up at the end, a lot of times it’s not worth trying to fix. That goes back to being a perfectionist about everything. **4. How did you get involved in television and what motivates you to continue?** As far as the [reality TV stuff](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dominos-6) goes, I got involved because Rob started working on the pilot for ‘Rob & Big’ about two weeks after I moved to California and I just kind of found a spot in the cast dynamic and it worked out. As far as what motivates me to keep going… it’s just a lot of fun and great exposure for the other things I’m doing. **5. How significant are the topics of cool hunting and trend spotting in the world of entertainment?** I think they just go hand in hand. That’s part of what entertainment is - what all the new styles and trends are. Without that it’d be boring. **6. How do you define cool?** Not taking yourself too serious and being able to keep pushing limits and boundaries. **7. How do you define a trend?** To me a trend is anything that’s new and hot that people never thought of or putting a cool spin on something old. Sometimes they last for years. Sometimes months. **8. Professionally, what do you want to be doing in 10 years?** Taking everything I’m doing now to a major major level and have a bunch of new things going. Hopefully just calling the shots from a mansion somewhere. **9. If you weren’t in entertainment, what would your dream profession be?** This is it. I can’t imagine doing anything else. **10. What are your favorite hobbies?** Skateboarding, anything music. **11. If you could work with anyone in the world, who would it be and what would you do?** Michael Jackson. R.I.P.. I’d love to have been able to see that guy’s creative process. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [Interviews](https://www.trendhunter.com/interviews) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Progression-driven Work:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in music, clothing, and other creative industries by constantly pushing boundaries and staying ahead. - **Trend Spotting and Cool Hunting:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in entertainment by identifying and capitalizing on new styles and trends. - **Perfectionism and Adaptability:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in music production by regularly discarding ideas that don't meet high standards and starting fresh. ### Where This Applies - **Music Industry:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in music production and promotion by embracing a progression-driven mindset and staying ahead of trends. - **Fashion Industry:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in clothing design and manufacturing by continuously finding and capitalizing on new styles and trends. - **Entertainment Industry:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in television and other forms of entertainment by being trend-savvy and staying ahead of the curve. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Unity-Promoting Family Skate Decks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/family-skate.md) - [Reality TV Show Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dumbgood.md) - [Empowering Children's Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karmas-world-toy.md) - [Graphic-Centric Minimal Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drama-call-3.md) - [Anniversary-Celebrating Arty Skateboard Decks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stevie-williams1.md) - [Social Change-Promoting Skateboarding Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saved-by-skateboarding.md) - [Miniature Artful Hip-Hop Landmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/danny-cortes.md) - [Branded Short Talk Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/progressives-dr-rick.md) - [Imaginative Character Universe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zofriends.md)
