What's funny for me is that I made a lot of the music I make with intentions of it being a song you listen to, to chill out.

I probably listen to more instrumental music than music with lyrics, but at the same time I do love both.

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.

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

Once you make something you think it's awesome, but it's only after you listen to it for a few weeks then you actually get a proper perspective on it.

Meditation is a really powerful tool I have for life now. The only reason I know about it is because I was stressing about writing and a friend taught me it. It's been useful. Now I use it for a bunch of different situations, whether I'm stressing before a show or something in the day really pisses me off.

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