You can communicate by responding with your body or with a hand clap, with a laugh or with a smile, with non-verbal communication.

The more uncomfortable I feel, that's where I know the magic is.

I'm from New York. I grew up there. I grew up in Westchester County, the suburbs. For me, that was always the best of both worlds. I was super lucky to have a place where I could pretty much practice drums unperturbed. Obviously there were neighbor's complaints, but not very often, and I could get to the city easily by myself or with my parents.

I always try to hit a few areas when I'm making a record; I want the sounds to be experimental and exploratory, I want the drumming to be distinctive, and I want my voice to be able to shine through.

Music is so visual now.

My sound is super hybrid; the acoustic sounds are there and the electronic sounds are there.

I like to highlight people's superpowers.
