I just started writing and writing for people. And then, like I guess after (a) year of getting some placements, I kinda got a shot to be an artist. Long story short I think, yeah.

There's so much you can do with laying words on a bed of music. You can completely change their meaning with the type of music or the way they're sung.

When I was young, I had idols that I thought were wonderful. I wanted to be just like them.

In the same way, I write some of my more difficult pieces when I'm at very happy stages in my life.

Any of these contemporary war situations, whether civilian or soldier on either side - that's what I was interested in. The people who are being affected. Not so much the political speak at the top of the food chain, but the people who are affected by it on the ground.

It's so interesting to me how songs take on a shape and body of their own and grow.

I feel that my dreamscapes are part of my everyday life, and sometimes I can't tell the difference.
