KCM: How was CJ Sleez born? CJ: I had been in couple of other bands before that but I have never really gotten too serious about it. When I was about 18 or 19 I started CJ Sleez and it was originally called CJ Sleez and the STD’s (Sexually transmitted diseases) it was just a joke but we were trashy, loud, sleazy that I don’t give a shit type of Rock’n’Roll. We ended up dropping the STD’s part later because it was easier for people to remember us this way. KCM: What else do you do besides singing in a band? CJ: I’m a writer as well and I’ve actually published an autobiography years ago called” Poor Little Bitch Girl” with Manor House Publishing. It’s a collection of stories about my life, totally non-fiction and it’s a really fun book. KCM: Do you model as well? CJ: I used to model professionally but not so much anymore. Right now I’d just like to focus on my music. Modeling as a career is really a full time job and you have to really focus on it when you have to be able to travel at a drop of a hat and that’s tough when you have to schedule band stuff. It came down to choosing one or the other and I chose music because I can’t imagine living without it. KCM: Have you played outside of Canada?
