I feel like I've gotten to a point where I don't know if it can get much bigger. I've been climbing and I feel very happy.

I'm all for in my production, creating really unique textures and sounds - for me that's what I love about music.

Australian weather's amazing! You notice that when you go overseas.

Most of the music I've listened to or grew up listening to - a lot of it at least - is instrumental stuff.

I feel like New Zealand's a bit of an unchartered territory for me in a way.

I'm now much more aware of my mental state. I have a lot more control over it and can choose how I feel.

It's one thing having a great song, but I think for me if you take it to the next level... say you had a guitar and a vocal, and the song was amazing but the vocalist wasn't that great and it just was a guitar and vocal acoustic track, switching that to something like an amazing voice singing the exact same song with the instrumentation being really nice and lush or unique in some way and interesting and diverse... I think it's all about the instrumentation and textures in the sound.
