Chad Curlow aka Kotchy, a nickname given to him by his grandmother at birth, is a musician who's sound can't be fit into a box even if you tried.

This up and coming artist is "Older than I feel." and insists that "It's not about where you're from, but where you're at. (referencing the great Outkast)." He has worked with industry greats such as Moby, Tricky and Eclectic Method, just to name a few and was awesome enough to take a few minutes out of his busy schedule to answer a few questions for us via e-mail. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Kotchy!
