Only after a piece of music is done does my frontal cortex allow me to organize what might be trying to come out of my subconscious.

With song titles, I try to keep a healthy sense of humor while saying something at the same time.

A few years ago, I had an interest in making things that felt more like "pieces." That was when I was making a lot of stuff that you could call beats, and it dawned on me that I could say much more nuanced, precise things if I tried to make them more composed. It sounds a bit corny, but I do love the idea that something can make you forget that you're listening and just transport you to somewhere else in your head.

A lot of me figuring out how to love myself more involves finding the things that I'm ashamed of and looking them right in the eye.

There is also a particular frustration that I have with language. It's so clumsy. And the reason I'm feeling that is more because on your breathing and your intonation than the actual words.

Something I keep coming back to in my music is the tension between two extremes: healing and chaos, hope and anxiety - these big themes are inside us, flickering, all day.

Someone can only be vampiric if you allow it.
