Juan Deuce, a mechanic and mixologist.

Where do you live?

Providence, Rhode Island.

What do you do?

I rap over beats.

When did you start?

Christmas Eve ‘86 at 1:45am.

How was your first show/performance?

My first show went extremely well. So many of my good friends showed up, it was a great time.

What would you like to gain from your work?

To keep developing my craft, while trying to make every record and performance better than the last—and to also reach as many people as I possibly can.

What would you like your audience to gain from your work?

I want them to gain something. If ten different people listen to the same song, it would be dope if all ten had a different interpretation. That’s like killing ten birds with one stone.

Who or what are you biggest influences?

My family and friends are my biggest influence. My life—what I’ve seen and how I've felt comes out through recording.

What keeps you up at night?

Eating tacos too late.

What’s next?

I am currently working on a full LP with producer/mad-man Falside—it’s our follow-up to The Mechanics EP that was released in November ‘11.
