Music is so visual now.

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.

Some people want to feel comfortable when they're performing; I'm kind of the opposite.

I like to highlight people's superpowers.

I think of every song like a game. It's like a video game: "Okay, I'm going to hop over here and if I press this drum, or if I hit this note, then that doorway opens. Oops, I fell down a trap door but I'm in a whole new world."

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