It's always my goal to be more mature-sounding, more convincing, but also more experimental, and more challenging for myself. If it's not a little bit harder every time I make a new track, then I'm being lazy.

It's better to look for the people that look like you and do something with them, create something new - the mainstream isn't that special anyways.

I always put my identity at the forefront of my music.

To me, beauty is a lived thing.

My whole purpose of being a musician is to not follow the rules, so if I set rules for myself, I've already failed.

I like writing music that I think is beautiful, but perfection isn't really beautiful to me.

Everyone knows the idea of moving to another country is really hard, but when you're actually in the situation - and you don't know the language and you don't know anyone - it's like you don't even know what questions to ask.
