It is time to 'Boot Up'. The temperature has dropped, and although you may have been trying so hard to hold on to your stylish sandals, it's time to 'boot' those toes away. The past year saw a lot of thigh high, sexy vibes, high very high heeled boots which most designers seem to have moved away from. We are most likely to see slouchy below the knee boots, lots of block heel and low heels and animal printed boots this season. here are our top 5 picks, based on the trends, that you can find at Mr Price.

Q. Please give us a little background on how you cam up with your name Dunn Phantom?
A. " I came up with the name when I was still in high school doing grade 11, I was staying late one night just channel surfing looking for something to watch then I came across the Cartoon Network channel where this cool cartoon caught my attention called "Danny Phantom" for some reason it intruded me and I really liked it. The name was something different and it grew on me and the more ii thought about it the more I liked it then I changed the "Danny" to "Dunn" just to make it sound better then Dunn Phantom was born and the name stuck since then".Q. When did you fall in love with music and which specific song was it that grasped you?
A. "Well to be honest I don't remember which exact song was it but I do know who produced it and it was the Dr himself Dr Dre. I can vaguely remember the music titles back in the days because I was in grade 7 but I do remember that it was in the G-Unit era and that's when I was captivated by the sound of music".
Q. How did you get into producing and music as a whole?
A. '"I would like to say it all started in grade 3, I was in class where I made my 1st beat just by using my desk and an my wooden pencil and then developed it further as beat boxing when I was in grade 4. By the time I got to grade 7 I met a guy who made beats and became his protégé in a way as he taught me how to Mix an Master. The one thing he kept repeating to me till it eventually stuck was " Dj's cant teach Dj's how to make beats" which really made sense to me because making music or creating a beat is a unique creative process which comes from that individuals inspiration or thoughts and that is something another person cant teach you".
Q. Which producers or artists would you say are most influential to you?
A. "It has to be without a doubt Dr. Dre I mean he was the person who made me fall in love with music in the 1st place his work ethic is what I admire the most and his flare for perfection".

Q. Is there an artist that you would like to work with in future?
A. "Well my first choice would be the Dr himself then Isaiah Rashad and Vic Mensa and I'm pretty content with that. I also like working with my friend Muzi on the production side because he niiiiice and Faith who was a vocalist I worked with a while ago".
Q. Where do you see yourself in 10 years from now?
A. "I see myself doing more then just music, like all others I want to grow and move overseas where there are more concentrated in music. I would also like to write my own book like a autobiography about my life as well a documentary I think that would be a good achievement".
Q. Which would you say is your favourite project you've worked thus far?
A."Has to be a track I worked on myself where I rapped and sang a little called
Q. What do you think about fashion and the industry as a whole?
A. " As you can see by the way I'm dressed I am a fashion enthusiast and if it wasn't for the fashion industry we would have had nice places to shop like Zara and Top Man. I mean can you imagine a world without tailored suits and Armani. To answer your question I love fashion clothes are the one thing that make people presentable and in the music industry you need to be presentable".
