What do you like most about being in OF?I love how accepting the guys are of the new “pints” (which is code for the newbies – just hanging and getting to know those guys has been so fun.
How long have you been singing and what’s your favorite song to sing and why?I actually tried out for beatboxing and had no intention of singing. These guys have been slowly convincing/forcing me to sing … but I think I’ll stick to beatboxing. I have been beatboxing for around five years now. So my favorite song to beatbox would be “Billy Jean” by Michael Jackson – because it’s a really cliché beatboxing song, but it is so fun to do!
What the coolest thing you’ve ever done?Climb[ed] Mt. Shasta in northern California.
If you were stranded on a desert island and could bring one person with you and three of your possessions … what would you bring and who would you want with you?I would bring my best friend Sam Handelsman, a piano, a ukulele and as much candy as possible.
Who do you admire most and why?I would have to say Frodo Baggins. Even while carrying the incredible burden of The Ring, he was able to look fear in the eyes and destroy it. He is my inspiration.
Are you a Trashcan or a Redskin kind of guy?Trashcan
If you could date any celebrity, who would it be?Emma Watson
