We stood out. Me and my brother JoJo were the only two Mexicans in our whole school, and so was my little brother, in elementary school.

They played all kinds of stuff, and we liked that. With us, anything that hits our ears and our hearts and sounds good is an influence, new or old. Music we gather true meaning from is that old school. It's an oldies-rule-forever kind of deal with us Lonely Boys.
