Extra Questions:
Red Devil from Atkinson, NH - “What was it like to do a beat for the plan b song "business woman"? Do you plan on doing something similar in the future?”
Kela – Yeah, man! Ben and I have just written a live Beatbox cover version of "Need Your Loving" for my new Album. Sounds sick, definitely a nice step up from Business Woman.
Azeem from London, England - “What did your family/friends/peers say to you about it when you began it, and also when you started to take it more seriously?”
Kela - Hmm, well my family have been nothing but supportive, and my friends are all musicians or DJs; The same friends I have now. I always took my trade seriously. I think my friends and family would have been really disappointed in me if I didn't go get those opportunities. My friends are who inspire me.
Rooky from Cork, Ireland - “If you could go back in time and do something different (Beatbox-wise), what would it be?”
Kela - There isn't really anything I regret. Nothing I have a problem with being in the archives! ...I truly believe that. Hmmm, Done something differently? I'm sure there are loads and loads; I'm extremely critical of myself.
Boze from Glasgow, Scotland - “Would you rather 1000 people bought your next CD or 10,000 people downloaded it?”
Kela - What would you rather? A thousand CD's sold wouldn't even pay for the making of an album. 10,000 iTune sales (or other legal/illegal methods) would be 10,000 people at the O2 arena, or Madison Square Garden. Do themath man 
Corsair from the Isle of White - “What do you most hope to achieve (professionally or otherwise) in the future?”
Kela - To make the biggest, genre defining, Killa Kela album possible. That's all. That and to keep supporting the Beatbox scene in any way I can. "They don't have to like me, just don't take my shit lightly" Yup. 
Drops from Nottingham - “Where do you see Beatboxing in 20 years time? Not just yourself, but Beatboxing in general.”
Kela - It'll be 10 years this July since I first jumped on a mic at a show. Since then, I've seen a lot of things come and go… People and styles, but the biggest thing to have embraced the scene, is technology. Hands down. Myspace, the Internet, etc. The next 20 years will be in the hands of scientists.
Sparticus from Hereford, U.K - “Which Beatboxers do you like at the moment (which styles, etc) and are there any out there that inspire what you're doing at the moment, maybe to help you move forward and progress?”
Kela - People inspire me, man... And I love our scene. Eklips, Faith, Poizonous...But to be honest, there isn't one Beatboxer that I could single out, and that's the truth. I love characters, personalities etc. and that, fortunately, is what our scene has an abundance of. We all need to support that and we all need to spread the good vibes man... Push everyone through the net.
