When I'm writing, those ideas are seldom inspired by music itself. I won't often listen to an artist and come up with an idea.

When I think back, I felt like I had the life that a lot of white American kids grew up with in the suburbs in the States. I started noticing, as Apartheid's grip weakened, that we had more and more black kids at school; I had more and more black friends. But I never really saw a separation between myself and the black kids at school.

I try to not be self-conscious in my writing process.

Of course I had the parallel of having the early years of my life being spent during apartheid, and then having a lot of awful poverty going on around me while I lived in this bubble of middle-classness, but I was a child, and I only really started to (I hope) understand all of that fairly recently.

I decided to create a really good laptop recording situation and to learn how to write that way, rather than have the perfect stuff around.

I think that there is always room for improvement so I am seeking to reach as far as I can in my field of art, film and animation.

[I] was always my dream to attend the Art Institute. I have always had this zeal to become the best that I can be and I saw that this institution will act as an avenue to me achieving that goal. I applied to the institution and got accepted based on my impressive portfolio.
