TWIST: Can you tell us a little bit about how you got started?
Diggy: I just started writing and penning down things that I felt. That's really where it came from... I was just falling in love with the artistry and my craft. I didn't really want it to be a career. I didn't really have intentions of that at first.
TWIST: What types of things inspire you to write your music?
Diggy: Anything... girls, past experiences with people... that's just kind of the theme of my album. And it will be the theme throughout my whole life: experiences and real things that I go through.
TWIST: If you could do a duet with anyone, who would it be?
Diggy: A song with Kanye [West] would be dope.
TWIST: What is your favorite song of yours?
Diggy: It would probably be "Thinkin Bout U". It's on my mixed tape Airborne. I just love it because I really went into a deep place inside of me... it just feels good and it's relatable.
TWIST: What would your ideal girl be?
Diggy: Definitely someone that's not just beautiful on the outside but someone that is on the inside too. Someone that I'm compatible with and I can be real with and talk to just about anything with. So somebody that I can just be close to on not only a relationship level but as a best friend.
I believe in true beauty on a girl so I don't want her to feel like she'd have to wear makeup all the time. I'd always want her to feel comfortable around me.
TWIST: Do you have a celebrity crush right now?
Diggy: It would be Rihanna or Eva Mendes... I love Eva Mendes.
TWIST: What can we expect from you in the future?
Diggy: Definitely my debut album. [I also have] my sneaker line-- it's called "Chivalrous Culture".
