Like, in retrospect, this whole Mini-Album is about itself, and the process of letting go of the fear of what people will think about the music or of me or whatever and just putting it out there. But none of that was intentional at all.

It's sad that some people still believe that artists die poor. This is not the case in this day and age.

I was constantly drawing and colouring. I had an immense love for art and anything which involved art fascinated me.

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 must say that the first person to realise that I was talented in art was my mother.

I feel like kids that grew up in New York City or in L.A. were exposed to all these subcultures and subgenres, whereas I was only exposed to the poppiest of pop music so I never had this negative connotation towards pop music. That's not South African music having an effect on me, but just how international music was filtered through South Africa affected me. It gave me a not-negative connotation towards pop music growing up.

Most of the writing that I do is a complete train of thought process. I'll just be walking down the street or sitting on the toilet or whatever and something will pop into my head and I'll record it on my phone and then over the next little while it'll develop a little more in my head.
