Question: Let us step in your shoes for a day. What’s for breakfast, whats your daily routine, and when is music involved?
Answer: Wake up, check the phone, roll back over and do this for about 20 minutes til I finally get up. Brush my teeth, tie my hair up, brew some fine ass coffee.

Proceed to do the thang I do for however long I can endure and then the rest of the day just goes off from

Question: When was the moment you decided that producing was right for you?
Answer: About 2 years ago when I was making the transition from creating visual art to audio art. I’m a very visual thinker, so to me it seemed a bit redundant and uninteresting to continue on illustrating/painting. This led to translating my visual ideas into an audio space…and instantly things in my brain just sort of ‘clicked.’ I knew from then on that music production was something I was going to spend a lot of my life on.
