The racial conversation in the States is so multifaceted and multilayered. Obviously it's not always a positive conversation, but it's just so much more detailed than it was when I was growing up in South Africa.

I am really enjoying media arts and digital painting.

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

Don't get me wrong, I have the utmost respect for anyone who has the nerve to even attempt to do music today, but this is just about what excites me.

I remember my friends at primary and secondary school admiring my work and even paying me money for some of my pieces.

Sometimes, I even learn new techniques from my students. Although I am still a student at the Art Institute, I think that I have learnt a lot from the classes that I have already taken.

I've been making music for as long as I can remember. I would, as a kid, just sing little ideas or be making something.
