Greetings readers of Blazing Minds, I’d like to bring you a Blogger Interview and this time it’s with blogger Todd Walton from The Hip Hop Democrat, which incidentally relaunches on June 15th, so let’s get on with the interview

Please tell my readers a little something about yourself?

First off, I would like to say thank you for reaching out to me and adding me on Twitter, it’s a privileged to engage with you and everything your doing with Blazing Minds. To formally introduce myself my name is Todd, but I also go by Fokus which is my stage name. I would consider myself to be a “Social” Entrepreneur, being that a lot of the things I’m involved with I see to be ultimately for the greater good of someone other than myself. Well, not everything I do is directly for other, but I would say most, lol. I started out in music back in 2005 putting out a project entitled Fokus: Presents Chicago’s Kid Vol. 1. which had a pretty good turnout for a premiere independent release. Music from the project was also used for commercial/publishing purposes including some music I did for Playboy, which was fun, lol.

Q: So how did you come upon the name of your band? Is it the first name you chose?
A: I actually had a few name but this one was bassed on an Idea for a productions company and I liked it as an artist/producer/dj name so I kept it.

Q: So please introduce yourself to our readers?
A: As a Producer, Composer, and DJ, I enjoy all types of music. Never prefered a specific style but my style reflects to what I listen to the most. It all started in 96 with my passion for music DJ’ing at house parties around town, and then at local clubs I got herd. Then in 98 me and a friend started messing around with anything we could get our hands on to make music. I don’t have a specific style but I create with what I am feeling.
