If you're in music just to become a big, fat rock star, then I probably don't like your music to begin with.

When I was a kid, the book that I liked the most was 'Aesop's Fables.' There was a version of it that my father read stories to us kids out of. I liked the idea of the short story format.

My major was Fine Arts and Education thinking I would become an Art Teacher. I couldn't visualize myself as an art teacher, thinking how it wouldn't work.

As far as the style, I was fascinated by surrealism.

Personally Im very happy to be behind the scenes. I like collaboration, I like working with directors.

I think somewhere around high school, your brain starts to gel, to harden. Before that, there’s this time where anything is possible and the more things that you artistically and educationally have in your repertoire, the more you become a child of larger possibilities.

Choose your mutations carefully...
