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.

My mom and grandfather are my first teachers of music. Those experiences and the process of exploring music as a discipline through them and with them is one of the main foundations of my life as musician.

I'm a big fan of new production techniques and new sounds. That's kind of what has been my focus out here; making sure that the songs can stand away from the production, however it's produced.

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

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

Music is so visual now.

I like to highlight people's superpowers.
