I was also always interested in the aesthetic realm - architecture and that kind of stuff - but music was my first love.

A lot of the people I was writing with think a lot more about lyrics and a lot more about the details from the beginning. That kind of thinking made me a little self-conscious because I was suddenly having to judge what I was doing early on in the process.

Normally when I'm writing, in the beginning I don't think of lyrics at all. I'm just improvising.

As I got older, my ambitions changed and I wanted to be a graphic designer. In form five, I did Art for CXC and got a grade 2 at the general proficiency level. I was devastated because I was aspiring for a grade 1. I took a break from art when I went to A level because I could not cope with the disappointment of my Grade 2. But I guess when you love doing something you just can't turn you back on it completely.

World music evokes a feeling. You don't have to think about the scene that it comes from.

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

I believe that people have to be sensitized more about the many jobs an individual can branch out to after studying an art form.
