I was never a 'sit down with a notepad and write lyrics' kind of person.

The hip-hop aesthetic and the way it's produced always motivated me. Alongside that I was still wanting to make great traditional songs because I've never had any desire to rap. My love of hip-hop is driven by my love of rappers, but it was built out of my love of producers.

I like what I like, I don't like what I don't like, and I'm very bad at toning myself down.

I don't know if I'm attention deficit, but I certainly am easily distracted by other things.

I'm mostly a keep-to-myself kind of guy, but you slowly find yourself getting folded into the musical tapestry.

I never looked at being a musician any different than waking up one day and wanting to be an accountant or a lawyer.

I have some vivid memories of walking around as a child with a cassette tape.
