Colton: I'm at peace with him because I have nothing to do with him. I don't fault him for having his own aspirations, I just don't like to be lied to. I mean if you want to come out and say you want to be this, that and the other, and everyone knows that that's what your passion is and that's your agenda, then that's cool. But to say one thing and then run around and do other things behind everyone's back, to promote yourself at the expense of everyone else, that's fucked up.
RS: One thing in that film, you were seen working with Scott Anderson of Solar City and then you had a meeting with Guido Osorio, and that Guito meeting didn't seem to go so well. How was he eventually convinced to work with you after that?
Colton: Actually the Guido meeting went great because he knew of me from my Frankie Knuckles days. So he knew that Frankie doesn't work with anyone that doesn't have his chops up, so he was down with it. Fortunately the Kyle-isms didn't get in the way of Guido seeing beyond them. Gudio is a musician, he is a musical person so he was concerned about the music and what he heard was enough to make him realize that we could work together. I was frustrated at that meeting because Kyle doesn't know how to meet people, which is why I popped him one. He was just over the top, way too much.
RS: How did you hook up with Hani, I heard you did a track with him?
Colton: Yes, I've done a couple of tracks with him. We connected through Kevin Williams with Nervous. After I met with Kevin, he suggested I work with a couple of producers and Hani was one of them. Hani is a great person to work with. He sends me a track and I come up with the melody and the lyric. We go over it and tweak it a little bit and then we record. So I found working with him to be a pleasurable experience, it was quick and easy, and things got done.
RS: Also, how did you hook up with Pepper Mashay for the "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" duet?
Colton: Well Pepper's manager is my booking manager, someone that gets me gigs.
RS: Steven Ford?
Colton: Yes, Steven. He is great. He knew that I was working on a remake of "Signed, Sealed, Delivered," it was something that we had worked on with a couple of different producers but nothing really gelled. I wasn't hearing it like I heard it in my head when I thought about doing it. Steven suggested that Pepper and I try it together as a duet. We went in, had a great time in the studio and totally vibed. With the remixes from Solar City, Ralphi Rosario and Mac Quayle, that was the release right there.
RS: The two of your performed this song live, together at all?
Colton: Yes, we started performing it right after we finished recording it actually over the summer and we always get a good response. It's kind of a no brainer, a classic song that everyone loves and it's a happy up song. Put that in the context of a dance groove and put it into the club and it works.
RS: Have you ever thought about teaming up with say Amber or Lonnie Gordon, the two other dance divas who appear in the movie?
Colton: Well I was going to be writing with Amber but that's Kyle's territory, she is Kyle's girl [laughing]. He made Lonnie Gordon and wrote "A God that Can Dance," which is a lie. So we had plans but let them lie for a bit. I wouldn't be opposed to it, but I'm working with some great cats for the EP. I am working with Tony Moran, Ralphi Rosario, Dezrok & Dee, and Al B Rich.
RS: Going back to touring, how is touring as an artist different than touring as a porn star?
Colton: Well, I mean there's the same enthusiasm, the verbiage is just different. In the adult arena, they say I just jacked off to you this morning, you're great. On the music side, the people are really supportive and enthusiastic. I think the adult scene, obviously it's specific to the physical, whereas the music moves people in a different way, more emotionally. They are out there supporting both causes, so I feel a lot of nice energy for the most part.
