So many people limit themselves by holding onto that baggage. They cut themselves off at the knees.

Now not to get all hippy or anything, but, you cant realise your potential unless you LET yourself realise your own potential.

I don't feel guilty about the music I love. If you feel guilty about something you dig, then you should stop feeling guilty about it.

The way I make music is just a reflection of how I think music should be made. Where you sit in a studio, and you make music, and you use technology to your advantage, not to hide all the blaring mistakes.
