HipHopLEAD: How did you come up with the name?

Tyjei Diezle: Well, you know how some english rappers name themselves lil ‘ ” something “, well us haitians we have the same thing for nicknames. But in creole it’s Ti ‘ “something “. And my real name is Jerry. So i took the first letters of my name and created Tyjei. As for Diezle, my astrological sign is a fire sign, saggittarius, so gotta use diesel to fuel that fire.

HipHopLEAD: When did you decide to make the transition from breakdancing to the hiphop scene?

Tyjei Diezle: The day my dear friend, my mentor died. I needed something to express myself, get that anger and those feelings out. At this point breakdancing was dead in me .

HipHopLEAD: What is the hiphop scene like over there compared to on US soil?

Tyjei Diezle: It’s very different. The industry is not as big and it’s developing slowly.

HipHopLEAD: Who were your influences to get into music?

Tyjei Diezle: First and for most 2pac and The Outlawz, you have Treach ( Naughty By Nature) , Boot Camp Clik and Wu-Tang Clan. They all have something to do with the artist I am today.
