1) You are from?
A: Bronx, NYC
2) When and why and did you want to be a rapper?
A: As a child I grew up around music, and art. In elementary I went to a school called "Talented and Gifted for Young Scholars," where they consistently had us involved in artistic work with various arts and crafts projects, music classes, and stage performances/drama pieces. In the second grade I had to do a project about an exotic bird and at the end of the assignment we were asked to do something creative about whatever bird we were assigned to do this research work on such as write a poem or draw a picture, etc. At this time, I happened to be around my uncle who is a DJ down in Florida named "Dj KERED," as well as my father who told me that I should write a rhyme about my bird. . . I wrote it to the beat from Busta Rhymes "Put your hands where my eyes can see". My teacher brought me around the school to a bunch of classes performing it for everyone. After that - I was hooked.
Then when I was 10 I met my "big brother" Joe Barz and here's another long story, but let’s just say at this point was when I decided that this was going to be my career choice. There have been so many developments over time, but I now stand 10 years later as a product of Hip Hop influence.

3) What do you think about hip-hop and where it’s going?
A: I'm concerned with the level of social irresponsibility that has been connected to the Hip Hop culture, especially dealing with mainstream America. Artists have been puppet-ed to relay a hidden agenda that depreciates the value of life in our communities, and blatantly IT NEEDS TO END. Not in a preachy, or overbearing kind of way but there is a certain sense of social awakening that needs to be brought about through the Hip Hop culture.
4) Who are your 3 favorite hip-hop artists?
A: This is an interesting question because I would say some of my biggest influences are not neccesarily hip hop artists - but those who have inspired my personality and approach at music would have to be "1- Tupac; 2- Nas; 3-Eminem."
5) Who would you say are the best 3 artist out right now?
A: I would have to say no one mainstream. And even with the answers I present now, there are certain disagreements I have with their work, but it would have to be "1- Mickey Factz; 2- Joell Ortiz; and 3- Immortal Technique"
6) Who inspires or inspired you?
A: I grab inspiration from all around. If you follow my work you know I am highly inspired by a lot of cartoons and comics, especially "Wolverine" and the "X-Men". But I also have had a lot of good teachers in my life, from my grandfather "Nestor Rivera" to my artistic mentor in high school "Jive Poetic" to my spiritual advisor "Sister Mary Eileen" and even my business partners "Erik Forman" "Andrew Squeaksz Stephens". As well as the many I work with such as "Jim Hernandez" or "Dyron Holmes". Even my best friends "Vaughn LVG Ephraim" and "Tejon TJ Witter". Plus I listen to a million motivational speakers like "Jim Rohn" and "Zig Ziglar". So my work comes from many different places.
7) Pick one word that describes your style?
A: Revolutionary
8) What makes you unique?
A: I am anti the culture. If they hype it - I'm not it. While everyone is going right - I'm going left. I have LOVE for mankind. I just want to die and leave a legacy... Marble statues of me in Central Park, and my work in textbooks. I need to die a saint. If you are stupid you won't like my music. But it is a necessity for you to have the fullness of life that pop-culture is depriving you of.
9) Why did you pick the stage name you have, and what does it symbolize?
A: Feel-X is a superhero... My secret identity. "Felix" is my father and I am my father's son. "X" is the missing variable that I solve for mathematically through all of my artistic work, and when I present it to you, you will "Feel" it.
10) If you had one thing to say to listeners, what would you say?
A: LOVE. Completely. Self-sacrificially. LOVE says I LOVE you whether you deserve it, or not. Give service to mankind.
