“I think I’ve had about 2 years of classical piano lessons, but I lost interest as I thought the assignments were boring and I just couldn’t stay focused anymore. I stopped playing the piano for a while. Then I saw this obscure CD with phallic mushrooms on the back cover. It was <a href="spotify:artist:1KsASRNugxU85T0u6zSg32" data-name="Tori Amos">Tori Amos</a>’ <a href="spotify:album:5bxqwBKvCyB67zOEVCrFZE" data-name="Little Earthquakes (Deluxe Edition)">Little Earthquakes (Deluxe Edition)</a> I got addicted to her music and she inspired me to continue making mine.”

“I love watching movies. Some convey so much energy, in the weirdest of ways. A certain train of thought with an underlying mood is a good base for a song, it sketches the spine of the song for you, in your mind.”
He likes to think that music is a language for emotions.
“When you play something and someone comes up to you and says they’re really moved, well, that moves me too. It’s funny that you can make people cry without speaking any words at all.”In the future he wants to make music for films, and to keep creating new music altogether.
