People call me Lotek...I think my brother Simon was the first he would joke about the equipment I was using to make my first beats and the name just stuck but its really more of a nickname than a stage name...my Mum actually calls me Wayne...I learned most of what i know either the hard way or from my parents...I've never had a mentor and i'm no-ones protege...ive never really had anyone in my corner but I will come out punching and have no intention of throwing in the towel...in fact all these experiences have just made me more determined...theres times i've looked to future and the future looked back with a smile...theres been other times that i've thought i wouldnt see my next birthday but i still closed my eyes and made a wish...I've some huge mistakes over the years..the biggest being not staking my claim to the fruits of my labour...I've been making music for nearly 15 years now...alot of the people i started out with are now big names...and thats the greatest feeling ever...knowing that it can happen...only problem is no-one seems to know how it happens but believe you me I will work it out...I met Hip Hop in 89 when she was on tour...I used to Love H.E.R. but now i'm not so sure...but her Mum; Music is still as beautiful as ever...
