None of my songs are written 'about' someone or something, they all just sort of tumble out unannounced, like the worst kind of house guest.

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

When I was growing up, it was still during Apartheid, so the country was very shielded from the outside artistic world. Anything that was too subversive was basically banned. All the music that we got from outside of South Africa was the poppiest, least subversive music that you could get.

I find that I have improved in my craft and I have improved considerably in my ability to critique other people's artwork. I forgot to mention that my course of study at the Art Institute is BSC in Media Arts and Animation.

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

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.

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.
