"I keep my music pretty under wraps," he says in the clip. "This is gonna be a shocker to people I work with on set because nobody really knows I do anything. I really keep it to myself, but it's ironic because it's probably the biggest part of my life. I've essentially become obsessed with music."
We all know how this turned out. Check it out below beginning at the4:34mark.
Irma Bule, an Indonesian singer, died on Sunday, April 3, during her performance in West Java.
Bule, real name Irmawati, was bitten by a king cobra, refused an antidote from the snake's handler and continued to perform for 45 more minutes. She later collapsed, went into convulsions and died at a hospital.

According toTIME, snakes are regularly used as props by Indonesian singers because their performance fee will increase from$20to$25.
The reptiles the 26-year old mother of three normally uses during her act are nonvenomous pythons that have their mouths duct-taped shut, but somehow those precautions weren't taken and Irma ended up being handed a venomous cobra.
"Why do you think she's getting Donkey of the Day? Because her dumb ass got bitten by a king cobra and didn't go to the hospital immediately," Charlamagne Tha God said on Power 105.1 on Friday, April 8th.
You can watch the video of Irma onstage at the time she was bitten and Charlamagne's response below.
In the latest Drink Champs podcast, DMX shared a story with hosts N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN about the time Diddy offered him a record deal after initially turning him down. The "Party Up" rapper recalled auditioning for Diddy before getting signed to Def Jam, and while the audition didn't lead to a deal, DMX said that he respects Diddy for telling him to his face what he didn't like about his rap skills.
Just three weeks later, DMX says Diddy offered him a deal with Bad Boy after finding out he was signing to Def Jam, but the New York rapper didn't accept. He explained that if Diddy couldn't see his talent from the beginning, he couldn't sign with him.

ABC7 reports that Trel, real name Martrel Reeves, was arrested by Arlington County Police on Thursday, April 7. He's been charged with DWI, narcotics distribution, speeding and driving on a revoked license.

With so many artists crowding the R&B field it's rare you find one that instantly separates themselves from the mundane.
Remo The Hitmaker and New Wave Music have discovered that rare gem in 18-year old singer Jaz Graham, who has just released her new Remo-produced single titled "Waiting For."
"Waiting For is the truth for many women, young and old," she writes. "My goal when recording Waiting For was to send a message that tells every woman to pay attention to the signs of a bad relationship, know her self-worth and move on from a unhealthy situation. Message for the fellows, 'get it together before you lose a good woman.' For me, the release of Waiting For is perfect timing."
