I certainly wouldn't say that my life is a disaster, but there have been moments where I've felt like that

So I started chanting when I was nineteen, which was about twelve years ago, and it really had a huge impact on my outlook, happiness, and general creativity.

But I can't really say there is too much modern music that I'm blown away by at this moment

Emerson, Lake & Palmer or King Crimson or Gentle Giant - the worst prog rock references I can come up with. Though I totally loved those groups as a kid.

I started playing music at a pretty young age

I make the kind of music I like

If I were to do this over I'd play a lot more shows before I made a record
