Mm-hmm.

So one day I went to his house.
Mark PayneGUEST

His name was Monty, Monty Blue.
Mark PayneGUEST

I went to Monty's house, and Finesse was there making music.

And when I tell you it's talent like you couldn't imagine, this guy was playing two keyboards at the same time.

And I was like, "There's no way he's playing two keyboards." So I was very intrigued because I was trying to learn how to make music at that time as well, and by watching Finesse make music, I felt like he would be the greatest mentor for me learning how to make music.
