Tejai is a positive person believing in being true to himself and treating people with love and respect. Just the kind of guy we all hope is successful for a long time.

And when asked about the significance of 62 in the names Chew 62 and now Tap 62, The Lounge he refers to a Bible verse that talks about treating people well and being positive.
