I want to make something that's fun to listen to but still challenging and unique.

I do try to pick music that is from different worlds and typically doesn't flow together. When you do that, you get songs with conflicting messages, but for me, it's on a musical level first and foremost.

The goal for me is, I build the record that I put out as one individual song. Even though it's broken up into tracks, to me it's like one hour-long piece of music. In assembling the whole thing, I'm really thinking, okay, it's gonna end here, it's gonna start here, and I kind of have the idea of the journey.

I want to make new and interesting music out of pop music in a way that isn't ironic. I want to stay sincere to the source material but at the same time manipulate it and take it to a new world.

I want to make something that's fun to listen to but still challenging and unique.

The point has always been to make music, it's not like I've always been running a giant money making scheme.

The whole point of doing the pay what you want is to be reasonable with the fans.
