People are often afraid for me. They think that I am going to break. I can make it through a set.

People in San Francisco and the East Bay have shown interest, done interviews, and have come to shows. I guess that the news travels fast out of this island that we are on.

I wasn't interested in writing music that wasn't beautiful for me to listen to.

Around eighth grade I decided I wanted to be a composer and that's what I went to college for. Just a few years back, I switched out of composition and into creative writing so I could work with words.

I am not doing something that it is experimental music in relation to classical music.

I have a lot of interest in interior rhyming; not just rhyming at the end of the lines, but playing around with rhymes within the lines, playing with where the syllabic emphases in the sentences are, lining those up at strange moments in the line of the song. I’m not sure if that comes across or not.

Never get so attached to a poem that you forget truth that lacks lyricism.
