I grew up working at a record store and listening to vinyl. Even if it's side A and B, there's always this continuity that really turned me on about music.
You need a strong sense of 'otherness' to be able to create in your life.
Genre, to me, is not all that important, and it never has been.
I'm not afraid to be bluntly honest in my songs, even if it means I'm discovering things about myself that I'd rather not.
I'm not into cold weather, I like warm weather.
I don't know anything about music theory at all. Zero. But I don't really need to.
