O-Diesel

Today I wanted to touch on health and it’s importance in the music grind. Too often, when we’re used to late night studio sessions, parties, take-out food, plane food, video shoot catering and the like, we fail to realize how we get out of our bodies what we put in…

After touring in Germany and putting myself thru grueling 25-minute, hi-energy sets every night (complete with spins and splits), I realized I needed to get back on my training grind or stop touring - and the latter is not an option. Since I’m headed to Paris at the end of this month and London in May, I hit O-Diesel Fitness, Oscar’s gym, to exercise the 4 D’s in my pursuit of health and 15 pounds of muscle.
