INTERVIEW
Please describe your artistic themes
My artistic style is rather introspective and melancholy. I like the sublime, and I’m generally inspired by life and the people around me.

What are your artistic goals?
To continue to be blessed enough to make a great living by using my creativity.
What are your views on the industry?
(The music industry) is a crazy place, but then it always has been. It’s in a state of evolution right now, and its always scary to be in the middle of a major shift or change (of an established paradigm).
What advice could you give to emerging artists?
Don’t do anything you won’t be able to stand behind 5 or 10 years down the road.
