You may be surprised to know that growing up, I wanted to be a writer of children's books.

The moment you're too apologetic about something and people know that something isn't finished, they listen/look for the mistakes or cracks, but if you act like it's done people experience things in a totally different way.

I think I was just too young to even understand what was going on. When I was still living in South Africa, there was still so much racial tension.

An opened mind will eventually lead to a more well rounded artist and this will thus heightenen his or her level of professionalism.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of the US, and hopefully spending some of the summer in Europe playing festivals. It's early days though, so who knows.

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.

I have noticed that these days, people don't want to take their time to succeed.
