What should we know about Bayno?
- What you don't see is what you get.

Where are you from, and how does that influence your music style?
- I'm from Kansas City, Missouri (NOT KANSAS! My city is a melting pot of cultural influences: known best for Jazz, barbecue, and fountains. I'm influenced by what I saw growing up, and what I believe is true to me. I grew up in the hood, so I developed the 'fuck you; pay me' mentality at a young age. I have friends of many cultural backgrounds from Asian to European, so learning how to adapt to any environment has helped me artistically. I play the world by ear. I observe everything.

You have a wide range of musical influences. Who are the few that have impacted you the most?
- Aerosmith: I used to stay up late during the summer and watch MTV at my grandmother's house.  Aerosmith dominated the station with hit videos.  The videos for the songs 'Janie's Got A Gun' and 'Crazy' stand out the most.
-Michael Jackson: I had the navy-blue military jacket with the gold buttons.  I wore high-water pants with white socks and penny-loafers.  I could moonwalk when I was six years old.  Enough said.

What can we expect to see from Bayno within the next year?
- A music video, a website (other than MySpace), and a tour are in the works.

What is Coast Free?
- A recording label.  I came up with the name and helped start the label.  I've been with the label for 3 years.

You've had quite a few live performances. Which show was most memorable?
- My most memorable show was the show I did in January of 2009.  I was chauffeured in a 2009 Cadillac CTS.  We downed half a thirty pack of brewskies in the car on the way to the show, and my people bought all my drinks that night.  The crowd was dope.  People showed a lot of love.  My fans showed they cared that night.  Its when I first knew people were really diggin' me.
