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

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.

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."

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

I like to highlight people's superpowers.

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